Abstract
Certain aspects relate to methods and apparatus for traffic flow service prioritization in a multi AP (MAP) network.
Claims27
An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:
- a processing system configured to generate traffic service prioritization policy information including traffic flow tagging information and service priority information assigned to one or more traffic flows within a multi access point (MAP) network, wherein the traffic flow tagging information assigned to the one or more traffic flows comprises at least differentiated service (DS) field values, and wherein the traffic service prioritization policy information assigns a service priority value to at least one unclassified traffic flow tagged with a specific DS field value;
- and
- at least one interface configured to:
- obtain capability information from one or more agents of the MAP network;
- and
- output the traffic service prioritization policy information for transmission to a MAP agent of the one or more agents of the MAP network in response to the capability information of the MAP agent indicating support, via a service prioritization bit in a message, for traffic classification into a distinct class for service prioritization.
3 more elements
An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:
- at least one interface configured to:
- output, via a service prioritization bit for transmission in a message, capability information indicating that the apparatus supports traffic classification into a distinct class for service prioritization;
- and
- in response to the capability information being output, obtain traffic service prioritization policy information including traffic flow tagging information and service priority information assigned to one or more traffic flows within a multi access point (MAP) network, wherein the traffic flow tagging information assigned to the one or more traffic flows comprises at least differentiated service (DS) field values, and wherein the traffic service prioritization policy information assigns a service priority value to at least one unclassified traffic flow tagged with a specific DS field value;
- and
- a processing system configured to prioritize traffic in the MAP network based on the traffic service prioritization policy information.

A method for wireless communications by an apparatus, comprising:
- generating traffic service prioritization policy information including traffic flow tagging information and service priority information assigned to one or more traffic flows within a multi access point (MAP) network, wherein the traffic flow tagging information assigned to the one or more traffic flows comprises at least differentiated service (DS) field values, and wherein the traffic service prioritization policy information assigns a service priority value to at least one unclassified traffic flow tagged with a specific DS field value;
- obtaining capability information from one or more agents of the MAP network;
- and
- outputting the traffic service prioritization policy information for transmission to a MAP agent of the one or more agents of the MAP network in response to the capability information of the MAP agent indicating support, via a service prioritization bit in a message, for traffic classification into a distinct class for service prioritization.

A method for wireless communications by an apparatus, comprising:
- outputting, via a service prioritization bit for transmission in a message, capability information indicating that the apparatus supports traffic classification into a distinct class for service prioritization;
- in response to outputting the capability information, obtaining traffic service prioritization policy information including traffic flow tagging information and service priority information assigned to one or more traffic flows within a multi access point (MAP) network, wherein the traffic flow tagging information assigned to the one or more traffic flows comprises at least differentiated service (DS) field values, and wherein the traffic service prioritization policy information assigns a service priority value to at least one unclassified traffic flow tagged with a specific DS field value;
- and
- prioritizing traffic in the MAP network based on the traffic service prioritization policy information.
