COORDINATING FREQUENCY DIVISION MULTIPLEXING TRANSMISSIONS

摘要

A device for coordinating frequency division multiplexing transmissions over a shared transmission medium may include a processor circuit configured to receive bandwidth requests from devices for transmissions over the shared transmission medium during a time period. A first bandwidth request may correspond to a point-to-multipoint transmission over the shared transmission medium. The processor circuit may be further configured to schedule bandwidth allocations on the shared transmission medium for the time period based at least in part on the bandwidth requests, where a first bandwidth allocation that corresponds to the first point-to-multipoint transmission is scheduled during the time period prior to other bandwidth allocations. The processor circuit may be further configured to transmit, over the shared transmission medium, an indication of the bandwidth allocations.

1. A device comprising:
at least one processor circuit configured to: receive a plurality of bandwidth requests from a plurality of devices for transmissions over a shared transmission medium during a time period, wherein a first bandwidth request of the plurality of bandwidth requests corresponds to a first point-to-multipoint transmission over the shared transmission medium; schedule a plurality of bandwidth allocations on the shared transmission medium for the time period based at least in part on the plurality of bandwidth requests, wherein a first bandwidth allocation of the plurality of bandwidth allocations that corresponds to the first point-to-multipoint transmission is scheduled during the time period prior to other bandwidth allocations of the plurality of bandwidth allocations; and transmit, over the shared transmission medium, an indication of the plurality of bandwidth allocations.
