Title: QOS management for multi-user EDCA transmission mode in 802.11ax networks
Inventor: PASCAL VIGER
IPC: H04W84/12
Filed: 2016-10-28
Abstract: A signal is received by a communication device which includes information about an Arbitration Inter-Frame Space Number (AIFSN) value, the signal being received from a base station that establishes a wireless network compliant with IEEE802.11 series standard. Data is transmitted in an access category in a resource unit provided by the base station to communicate by orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA). Further transmissions of the data are disabled in the predetermined access category according to Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) in a predetermined time period in a case where data in the access category has already been transmitted and where the AIFSN value included in the signal received by the first receiving means is 0. The predetermined time period may be measured by a Multi-User EDCA Timer (MUEDCATimer). Transmission of the data may be enabled in an access category according to the EDCA in a case where the predetermined time period has elapsed. The access category may indicated any of voice (AC_VO), video (AC_VI), best effort (AC_BE) and background (AC_BG).

Patent GB-2601732-A (GB)
Title: Packet processing
Inventor: MATTHEW IAN RONALD WILLIAMS
IPC: H04L69/12
Filed: 2020-11-25
Abstract: A method to process a plurality of packets 110 received at an interface 120 at multiple cores 132-138 which execute packet processing threads. A current packet processing (CPP) epoch is identified which consists of a sequence number, a counter and a deletion list. The counter in the CPP epoch is incremented for each packet received and a reference to the epoch is stored on each packet. The packets are processed according to a data structure which comprises objects that define packet processing operations. On completion of processing of each packet the counter is decremented and objects of the processing data structure that have become redundant due to updates are added to the deletion list of the CPP epoch. Once a new CPP epoch is started the old CPP epoch is designated as a past packet processing (PPP) epoch. Once the PPP epoch is no longer in use, e.g. when the sequence numbers referenced by any cores are different to the sequence number of the PPP epoch, any objects in the deletion list are deleted. The invention provides for lock-free updating of a packet processing data structure by means of epoch-based garbage collection and frees memory without impacting packet processing.
