Scheduling messages using mixed modulation settings

摘要

Various exemplary embodiments relate to a wireless communications device and related method and machine-readable storage medium including: at least one antenna; a transmission circuit to transmit data via the at least one antenna and a wireless communications medium according to any of a plurality of modulation schemes; a reception circuit to receive data via the at least one antenna; an application controller to generate a series of messages having a message type and associated with an application; and a message scheduler to provide modulation settings to the transmission circuit for respective messages of the series to be transmitted according to different modulation schemes of the plurality of modulation schemes, wherein modulation schemes are chosen for transmission based on a modulation scheme pattern, whereby a first message is transmitted according to a first modulation scheme and a second message is transmitted according to a second modulation scheme.

主权项

1. A non-transitory machine-readable medium encoded with instructions for execution by a wireless communications device for transmitting a series of messages, comprising:
instructions for generating, by the wireless communications device, a first message having a message type and associated with an application; instructions for transmitting the first message toward at least one other device via a wireless communications medium according to a first modulation scheme, wherein the first modulation scheme is chosen based on a modulation scheme pattern, wherein the modulation scheme pattern selects a modulation scheme appropriate for a current load percentage range which includes the first modulation scheme for the first message and a second modulation scheme which is a different scheme from the first modulation scheme for a second message: instructions for generating, by the wireless communications device, the second message having the message type associated with the application, the first message and the second message having the same message type; instructions for transmitting the second message toward the at least one other device via the wireless communications medium according to a second modulation scheme that is different from the first modulation scheme, wherein the second modulation scheme is chosen based on the modulation scheme pattern.
