Systems and methods for direct link communication with multi-channel concurrency

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for allowing a multi-channel concurrent device to communicate timing information to a direct link peer, so that subsequent delivery of buffered traffic by the peer may be coordinated to minimize interference with operation of the device in another network context.

主权项

1. A method for performing direct wireless communication between a multi-concurrent wireless communications device and a peer, comprising:
communicably coupling the wireless communications device to the peer on a first wireless channel in a first network context; buffering data for the wireless communications device at the peer; relaying an indication from the peer to the wireless communications device through an access point that buffered data is present; communicating timing information from the wireless communications device to the peer regarding a scheduled switch of the wireless communications device to a second wireless channel; transmitting a signal from the wireless communications device to the peer to trigger delivery of the buffered data; and receiving buffered data from the peer with the wireless communications device for a delivery period corresponding to the timing information.
