MULTI-TRANSCEIVER MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND METHODS FOR NEGATIVE SCHEDULING

摘要

Embodiments of a multi-transceiver mobile communication device and methods for negative scheduling are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. In some embodiments, a broadband wireless access network (BWAN) transceiver of a multi-transceiver mobile communication device may transmit a negative scheduling (NS) request frame that includes time-related QoS parameters to a BWAN base station to request one or more negative allocation (NA) periods. In response, the base station may transmit a NS management response frame to indicate when NA periods are to occur during subsequent BWAN frames. The BWAN base station may also transmit a subsequent NS response frame to update the configuration of the NA periods including an indication of when a subsequent NA period is to occur.
