Extreme high throughput (EHT) communication of QOS frames during restricted target wake time (R-TWT) service periods

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions for execution by processing circuitry of an extremely high throughput (EHT) access point (AP), the processing circuitry configured to:

• announce, with one or more management frames, one or more restricted service periods (SPs) for latency sensitive traffic;
• wherein each of the one or more restricted SPs comprise a restricted period of time during which member stations (STAs) transmit and/or receive quality-of-service (QoS) data frames of a traffic flow that comprise the latency sensitivity traffic;
• include an information element (IE) in the management frames that defines characteristics and QoS expectations that belong to the traffic flow of the latency sensitivity traffic;
• and
• prioritize delivery of the QoS data frames of the traffic flow during the restricted SPs.

A method performed by processing circuitry of extremely high throughput (EHT) access point (AP) for communicating latency sensitive traffic, the method comprising:

• announcing, with one or more management frames, one or more restricted service periods (SPs) for latency sensitive traffic;
• wherein each of the one or more restricted SPs comprise a restricted period of time during which member stations (STAs) transmit and/or receive quality-of-service (QoS) data frames of a traffic flow that comprise the latency sensitivity traffic;
• including an information element (IE) in the management frames that defines characteristics and QoS expectations that belong to the traffic flow of the latency sensitivity traffic;
• and
• prioritizing delivery of the QoS data frames of the traffic flow during the restricted SPs.
