Patent EP-4197127-A1 (EP)
Inventor: VAN WAGENINGEN ANDRIES
IPC: H04B10/116
Filed: 2021-08-05
Abstract: This invention proposes a mechanism to improve system performance in an optical wireless communication system by examining whether time slots in time channels are to be scheduled for exclusive use or could be utilized for parallel communication. The examination is based on a cross-over point from tolerating interference to applying time division. A reserved period for each access point is defined within its assigned time channel, which is exclusively reserved for communication with its endpoint(s). This reduces the communication overhead and keeps freedom of adapting slot-scheduling in the exclusive period at the cost of some performance reduction. To minimize this performance reduction, the size of the reserved period can be adapted to the actual need based on the traffic demand for exclusive use and non-exclusive use.
