SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TRAFFIC INFORMATION SIGNALING IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

摘要

Methods, devices, and computer program products for traffic information signaling in a wireless communication network are disclosed. In one aspect, a method of communicating within a wireless communication network is disclosed. The method includes receiving, by a transmitting device, a request for buffer information from an access point. The method further includes generating at least one of a buffer size or a transmission time, the buffer size or the transmission time comprising information indicating an amount of data that the transmitting device has buffered for transmission in a multiple-user packet to the access point. The method further includes transmitting the at least one of the buffer size or the transmission time to the access point. In some aspects, the at least one of the buffer size or the transmission time is transmitted within a Very High Throughput (VHT) control field.

1. A method of communicating within a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
receiving, by a transmitting device, a request for buffer information from an access point; generating at least one of a buffer size or a transmission time, the buffer size or the transmission time comprising information indicating an amount of data that the transmitting device has buffered for transmission in a multiple-user packet to the access point; and transmitting the at least one of the buffer size or the transmission time to the access point.
