Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a network node may receive time sensitive communication assistance information (TSCAI), associated with extended reality data traffic, that comprises at least one of multimedia cadence information, timing update information, timing offset information, configurable parameter set information, or extended reality specific traffic pattern information. The network node may transmit feedback associated with the TSCAI. Numerous other aspects are described.

Claims (50)

1. A method of wireless communication performed by a network node, comprising:

receiving, from a core network function, time sensitive communication assistance information (TSCAI), associated with extended reality data traffic, that comprises:

multimedia cadence information comprising a multimedia cadence measured in frames per second (fps) or Hertz (Hz); and

extended reality specific traffic pattern information that indicates, in advance of an extended reality data traffic communication, a jitter associated with a burst arrival time of the extended reality data traffic; and

transmitting feedback associated with the TSCAI, wherein the feedback comprises an acknowledgement indication that the TSCAI is acceptable.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the multimedia cadence information comprises a rational number associated with the multimedia cadence.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the TSCAI further comprises nominal burst arrival time information that indicates a center of a burst arrival time distribution of the extended reality data traffic.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the TSCAI further comprises timing offset information that indicates a timing offset for an extended reality data traffic flow relative to another extended reality data traffic flow, or a timing offset for a quality of service flow relative to another quality of service flow.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the TSCAI further comprises timing offset information that indicates a set of extended reality data traffic flows and an offset associated with each of the extended reality data traffic flows.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the extended reality specific traffic pattern information further indicates a nominal packet delay budget which corresponds to a packet delay budget associated with a nominal burst arrival time.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the extended reality specific traffic pattern information further indicates an average burst traffic size associated with the extended reality data traffic.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the TSCAI further comprises configurable parameter set information that comprises a multimedia cadence configurable parameter set or a burst traffic size configurable parameter set.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the TSCAI indicates whether the feedback is requested from the network node.

10. A method of wireless communication performed by a network node, comprising:

transmitting a modification request for time sensitive communication assistance information (TSCAI) associated with extended reality data traffic, the modification request comprising:

a request for a multimedia cadence that is supported by the network node and is based at least in part on a cell resource allocation, the multimedia cadence being measured in frames per second (fps) or Hertz (Hz); and

a burst arrival timing adjustment request for user equipment (UE) staggering; and

receiving feedback associated with the modification request for the TSCAI, wherein the feedback comprises an acknowledgement indication that the modification request is acceptable.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the burst arrival timing adjustment request comprises a request for a timing offset associated with the extended reality data traffic or a quality of service flow.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the burst arrival timing adjustment request comprises a request for an absolute time associated with the extended reality data traffic.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the modification request further comprises a request for a data size that is supported by the network node or a multimedia cadence that is supported by the network node.

14. An apparatus for wireless communication at a network node, comprising:

one or more memories; and

one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:

receive, from a core network function, time sensitive communication assistance information (TSCAI), associated with extended reality data traffic, that comprises:

multimedia cadence information comprising a multimedia cadence measured in frames per second (fps) or Hertz (Hz); and

extended reality specific traffic pattern information that indicates, in advance of an extended reality data traffic communication, a jitter associated with a burst arrival time of the extended reality data traffic; and

transmit feedback associated with the TSCAI, wherein the feedback comprises an acknowledgement indication that the TSCAI is acceptable.

15. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the multimedia cadence information comprises a rational number associated with the multimedia cadence.

16. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the TSCAI further comprises nominal burst arrival time information that indicates a center of a burst arrival time distribution of the extended reality data traffic.

17. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the TSCAI further comprises timing offset information that indicates a timing offset for an extended reality data traffic flow relative to another extended reality data traffic flow, or a timing offset for a quality of service flow relative to another quality of service flow.

18. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the TSCAI further comprises timing offset information that indicates a set of extended reality data traffic flows and an offset associated with each of the extended reality data traffic flows.

19. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the extended reality specific traffic pattern information further indicates a nominal packet delay budget which corresponds to a packet delay budget associated with a nominal burst arrival time.

20. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the extended reality specific traffic pattern information further indicates an average burst traffic size associated with the extended reality data traffic.

21. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the extended reality specific traffic pattern information further indicates a variance of a burst traffic size associated with the extended reality data traffic.

22. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the TSCAI further comprises timing update information that indicates a time at which an updated burst traffic pattern is to be applied.

23. The apparatus of claim 22 , wherein the timing update information corresponds to an index of the updated burst traffic pattern, or a relative offset number of burst traffic patterns.

24. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the extended reality specific traffic pattern information further indicates a type of data traffic associated with the extended reality data traffic.

25. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the TSCAI further comprises configurable parameter set information that comprises a multimedia cadence configurable parameter set or a burst traffic size configurable parameter set.

26. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the TSCAI indicates whether the feedback is requested from the network node.

27. An apparatus for wireless communication at a network node, comprising:

one or more memories; and

one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:

transmit a modification request for time sensitive communication assistance information (TSCAI) associated with extended reality data traffic, the modification request comprising:

a request for a multimedia cadence that is supported by the network node and is based at least in part on a cell resource allocation, the multimedia cadence being measured in frames per second (fps) or Hertz (Hz); and

a burst arrival timing adjustment request for user equipment (UE) staggering; and
