Abstract:
The present invention provides according to one of its aspects a method of queueing a data frame in one of a plurality of traffic queues at a communication station for transmission over a communication channel in a communication network comprising a plurality stations and an access point (AP). The method comprising selecting a traffic queue based on at least one of 1) a transmission mode, direct link or uplink, of the data frame, and 2) a transmission mode of the traffic queue; and queueing the data frame in the selected traffic queue. The transmission mode of the traffic queue may be a Multi-User (MU) uplink (UL) mode if a data frame previously stored in the traffic queue has been transmitted, since a predetermined period of time, in a resource unit (RU) provided by the AP within a transmission opportunity granted to the AP on the communication channel. The transmission mode may also be a Single-User (SU) mode.

Claim (Index 9):
A communication device station in a communication network comprising a plurality of stations and an access point (AP), the communication device comprising:\n a plurality of traffic queues; at least one microprocessor configured for carrying out the following steps: obtaining a data frame to be queued in one of the plurality of traffic queues for transmission; selecting a traffic queue based on at least one of:\n a transmission mode, direct link or uplink, of a data frame, and \n a transmission mode of the traffic queue; and \n queueing the data frame in the selected traffic queue; wherein:\n the transmission mode of the data frame is one of: a direct link mode if the data frame is to be addressed to a non-AP station, and an uplink mode if the station is to be addressed to the AP; and \n the transmission mode of the traffic queue is one of: a Multi-User (MU) uplink (UL) mode if a data frame previously stored in the traffic queue has been transmitted, since a predetermined period of time, in a resource unit (RU) provided by the AP within a transmission opportunity granted to the AP on the communication channel, and Single-User (SU) mode otherwise.
