ADAPTIVE UL DURATION SELECTION
A method to adaptively select uplink (UL) duration includes collecting UL transmission statistics for UL transmissions from multiple client stations to an access point (AP). The method includes estimating, based on the UL transmission statistics, an amount of queued UL data at the client stations for a next UL transmission. The method includes determining, based on the estimated amount of queued UL data and the UL transmission statistics, one or more UL durations for the next UL transmission. The method includes sending the client stations scheduling information with the determined one or more UL durations to initiate the next UL transmission from the client stations to the AP.
1 . A method to adaptively select uplink (UL) duration, the method comprising:
collecting UL transmission statistics for UL transmissions from a plurality of client stations to an access point (AP);
estimating, based on the UL transmission statistics, an amount of queued UL data at the plurality of client stations for a next UL transmission;
determining, based on the estimated amount of queued UL data and the UL transmission statistics, one or more UL durations for the next UL transmission; and
sending the plurality of client stations scheduling information with the determined one or more UL durations to initiate the next UL transmission from the plurality of client stations to the AP.
