Samsung patents way for devices to signal shared wireless time slots

Patent drawing
Patent drawing from the official filing.

Samsung describes a method where a wireless device tells other devices if it can share its allotted time on a network with a group of peers. The device includes a specific flag in its capability information to indicate this support for shared transmission opportunities.

Why it mattersThis is a routine technical update to wireless standards that helps devices coordinate how they use network airtime, potentially improving efficiency for future high-reliability connections.

In the filing’s own words

Transmission opportunity (TXOP) sharing for peer to peer (P2P) group (TXSPG) capability indication. A method performed by a non-access point (AP) station (STA) is provided. The method includes identifying whether the non-AP STA supports transmission opportunity (TXOP) sharing for a peer to peer (P2P) group (TXSPG) operation, setting a value of a TXSPG support field of an ultra-high reliability (UHR) medium access control (MAC) capabilities information field of a UHR capabilities element to indicate whether the non-AP STA supports the TXSPG operation, and transmitting a frame including the TXSPG supported field.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A method performed by a non-access point (AP) station (STA), the method comprising: identifying whether the non-AP STA supports transmission opportunity (TXOP) sharing for a peer to peer (P2P) group (TXSPG) operation; setting a value of a TXSPG support field of an ultra-high reliability (UHR) medium access control (MAC) capabilities information field of a UHR capabilities element to indicate whether the non-AP STA supports the TXSPG operation; and transmitting a frame including the TXSPG supported field.
