Samsung patents method to switch Wi-Fi data priority profiles on the fly
This filing describes a way for two Wi-Fi devices to quickly change how they prioritize different types of data traffic. One device sends a signal to switch from one service profile to another, and the other device confirms before the change takes effect.
In the filing’s own words
Methods and apparatuses for dynamic quality of service (QoS) profile switch in dynamic stream classification service (SCS). A method performed by a first station (STA) includes transmitting, to a second STA, an indication including information indicating a switch from a first QoS profile to a second QoS profile. The first QoS profile and the second QoS profile are from the same or different SCS streams, and the first QoS profile and the second QoS profile are profiles that have been previously negotiated between the first STA and the second STA as profiles for the SCS streams. The method includes receiving, from the second STA, a response to the indication to switch from the first QoS profile to the second QoS profile, and switching from the first QoS profile to the second QoS profile based on the received response.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method performed by a first station (STA), the method comprising: transmitting, to a second STA, an indication including information indicating a switch from a first quality of service (QoS) profile to a second QoS profile, wherein: the first QoS profile and the second QoS profile are from the same or different stream classification service (SCS) streams; and the first QoS profile and the second QoS profile are profiles that have been previously negotiated between the first STA and the second STA as profiles for the SCS streams; receiving, from the second STA, a response to the indication to switch from the first QoS profile to the second QoS profile; and switching from the first QoS profile to the second QoS profile based on the received response to the indication to switch from the first QoS profile to the second QoS profile.
