SIGNALING SOFT TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING IN ENHANCED DISTRIBUTED CHANNEL ACCESS

摘要

Methods, systems, and devices are described for signaling soft time division multiplexing (TDM) assignment information in an enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) operation. The soft TDM assignment may be sent to one or more nodes of a group of nodes to communicate with indicated priority access parameters during at least one of a plurality of time slots. The soft TDM assignment may also convey one or more backoff operation rules to at least one of the one or more nodes. Further, primary and secondary non-concurrent nodes may be identified and a signal sent to the secondary node for it to communicate, at a different priority than the primary node, during at least one of a plurality of non-concurrent time slots the primary node is communicating during.

1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
sending a signal comprising one or more soft time division multiplexing (TDM) assignment fields, wherein at least one of the soft TDM assignment fields is configured to convey connection information to a first group of nodes to communicate during at least one time slot at a first priority level that is different from a second priority level of a second group of nodes communicating during the at least one time slot; and communicating with at least one node from the first group of nodes during the at least one time slot at the first priority level.
