Abstract
Abstract Techniques for localized dynamic channel allocation help meet the challenges of latency, memory size, and channel time optimization for wireless communication systems. As examples, advanced communication standards, such as the WiGig standard, may support wireless docking station capability and wireless streaming of high definition video content between transmitting and receiving stations, or engage in other very high throughput tasks. The techniques help to deliver the desired user experience in such an environment and support desired performance levels for latency and throughput while controlling memory footprint.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 23
Claim 1
Independent Claim
71 words
1 . A method, comprising: choosing a first destination station; obtaining, at a first source station, a first transmit channel allocation from network scheduler circuitry for individual transmission to the first destination station within a service period, the first transmit channel allocation being shorter than the service period; and during the first transmit channel allocation within the service period, individually transmitting from the first source station to the first destination station.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
71 words
1 . A method, comprising: choosing a first destination station; obtaining, at a first source station, a first transmit channel allocation from network scheduler circuitry for individual transmission to the first destination station within a service period, the first transmit channel allocation being shorter than the service period; and during the first transmit channel allocation within the service period, individually transmitting from the first source station to the first destination station.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, from the network scheduler circuitry, a second transmit channel allocation for the service period, the second transmit channel allocation for individual transmission to a second destination station.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising: obtaining allocation adjustment information external to the source station for dynamically adjusting the first transmit channel allocation, the second transmit channel allocation, or both.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein receiving the second transmit channel allocation comprises receiving the second transmit channel allocation at second source station.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first transmit channel allocation comprises a time duration allocation.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising: adjusting the first transmit channel allocation for use in a subsequent service period.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
25 words
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein adjusting the first transmit channel allocation comprises obtaining allocation adjustment information local to the source station.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
29 words
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first destination station is specified by a multicast address or a broadcast address transmitted from the first source station.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
91 words
9 . A system, comprising: a transmitter; and network scheduler circuitry in communication with the transmitter, the network scheduler circuitry configured to: receive a request, from a first source station, to individually transmit during a service period to a first destination station from among multiple destination stations; determine a first transmit channel allocation within the service period, the first transmit period being shorter in extent than the service period; and transmit, with the transmitter, allocation information for the first transmit channel allocation within the service period to the first source station.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
91 words
9 . A system, comprising: a transmitter; and network scheduler circuitry in communication with the transmitter, the network scheduler circuitry configured to: receive a request, from a first source station, to individually transmit during a service period to a first destination station from among multiple destination stations; determine a first transmit channel allocation within the service period, the first transmit period being shorter in extent than the service period; and transmit, with the transmitter, allocation information for the first transmit channel allocation within the service period to the first source station.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
32 words
10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the network scheduler circuitry is further configured to receive a request, from a second source station, to individually transmit during the service period.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
32 words
11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the network scheduler circuitry is further configured to schedule a second transmit channel allocation within the service period for the second source station.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
34 words
12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the network scheduler circuitry is further configured to transmit, with the transmitter, allocation information for the second transmit channel allocation to the second source station.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
91 words
13 . A device, comprising: source circuitry configured to: select a first destination station from among multiple destination stations; and generate a request to individually transmit to the destination station during a service period; and a transceiver configured to: receive, from network scheduler circuitry, allocation information identifying a first transmit channel allocation for the service period, a duration of the first transmit channel allocation being shorter than a duration of the service period; and responsive to the allocation information, individually transmit to the first destination during the first transmit channel allocation.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
91 words
13 . A device, comprising: source circuitry configured to: select a first destination station from among multiple destination stations; and generate a request to individually transmit to the destination station during a service period; and a transceiver configured to: receive, from network scheduler circuitry, allocation information identifying a first transmit channel allocation for the service period, a duration of the first transmit channel allocation being shorter than a duration of the service period; and responsive to the allocation information, individually transmit to the first destination during the first transmit channel allocation.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
29 words
14 . The device of claim 13 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to receive a modification to the first transmit channel allocation for a subsequent service period.
