Meta patents Wi-Fi method to change data priority without re-negotiating
This filing describes a way for Wi-Fi devices to update their data transmission priorities without restarting a complex setup process. It allows a device to send a new set of quality rules for its scheduled wake-up times while keeping the original connection active.
In the filing’s own words
A device may include circuitry. The circuitry may be configured to wirelessly transmit, via a transceiver in a wireless network, a first target wake time (TWT) setup frame including a first set of quality of service (QoS) parameters associated with a first traffic identifier (TID) relating to a TWT schedule. After transmitting the first TWT setup frame, without performing a stream classification service (SCS) negotiation, the circuitry may be configured to wirelessly transmit, via the transceiver, a second TWT setup frame including a second set of QoS parameters that is associated with the first TID relating to the TWT schedule and is different from the first set of QoS parameters
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A device comprising: circuitry configured to: wirelessly transmit, via a transceiver in a wireless network, a first target wake time (TWT) setup frame including a first set of quality of service (QoS) parameters associated with a first traffic identifier (TID) relating to a TWT schedule; and after transmitting the first TWT setup frame, without performing a stream classification service (SCS) negotiation, wirelessly transmit, via the transceiver, a second TWT setup frame including a second set of QoS parameters that is associated with the first TID relating to the TWT schedule and is different from the first set of QoS parameters.
