CA 2452742

An apparatus and method for informing a coordinator of the particular characteristics of a periodic traffic source are disclosed. A station that generates a periodic traffic stream encodes the temporal period and temporal offset of the traffic stream within a quality-of-service (QoS) traffic specification, and transmits the traffic specification with a poll request. The coordinator, upon receiving a polling request, processes the associated traffic specification and, via appropriate decoding logic, determines whether the requesting station generates periodic traffic, and if so, the temporal period and temporal offset of the traffic stream. The coordinator subsequently can establish, based on the temporal period and temporal offset, a polling schedule that minimizes the delay between (i) the station generating a frame, and (ii) the station transmitting the frame (and thus the destination receiving the frame).

Il s'agit d'un appareil et d'un procédé permettant d'informer un coordinateur des caractéristiques particulières d'une source fournissant des données périodiques sur le trafic. Une station qui génère un flux de données périodiques sur le trafic encode la période temporelle et le décalage temporel du flux de données sur le trafic selon une spécification de trafic de la qualité de service (QoS), et transmet la spécification de trafic avec une demande d'interrogation. Dès réception d'une demande d'interrogation, le coordinateur traite la spécification de trafic connexe et, par l'intermédiaire d'une logique de décodage appropriée, détermine si la station requérante génère le trafic périodique et, le cas échéant, la période temporelle et le décalage temporel du flux de données sur le trafic. Le coordinateur peut établir ensuite, en fonction de la période temporelle et du décalage temporel, un calendrier de consultation qui minimise le retard entre (i) la station qui génère une trame et (ii) la station qui transmet la trame (et, de ce fait, le point de destination qui reçoit la trame).
