Wireless network configuration for low-latency applications

A method for wireless communication performed by a wireless communication device, comprising:

• receiving a first data session request from a first wireless station (STA), the first data session request indicating traffic pattern information associated with first data traffic having a first classification and first preferred time or frequency resources associated with the first data traffic having the first classification,
• wherein the first preferred time or frequency resources include one or more first preferred channels to carry the first data traffic or one or more first preferred times to exchange the first data traffic, or both, and are orthogonal to a set of time or frequency resources associated with second data traffic having the first classification in accordance with a second STA transmitting a beacon frame carrying information indicating the set of time or frequency resources, and wherein:
• the one or more first preferred channels are associated with a channel scan performed by the first STA that indicates that the one or more preferred channels are associated with lower channel utilization levels than other channels associated with higher channel utilization levels;
• and
• the one or more first preferred times are associated with a target wake time (TWT) schedule;
• transmitting, to the first STA, first link configuration information indicating a first set of time or frequency resources associated with the first preferred time or frequency resources indicated by the first data session request, the first set of time or frequency resources being reserved for the first data traffic;
• and
• establishing a first data path with the first STA associated with the first set of time or frequency resources, the first data path being reserved for the first data traffic.

A wireless communication device, comprising:

• a processing system that includes one or more processors and one or more memories coupled with the one or more processors, the processing system configured to cause the wireless communication device to:
• activate an application associated with a first classification of first data traffic;
• obtain a beacon frame carrying information indicating a set of time or frequency resources associated with second data traffic having the first classification;
• output a data session request to a root access point (AP) responsive to activating the application, the data session request indicating traffic pattern information associated with the first data traffic having the first classification and preferred time or frequency resources associated with the first data traffic having the first classification,
• wherein the preferred time or frequency resources include one or more preferred channels to carry the first data traffic or one or more preferred times to exchange the first data traffic, or both, and are orthogonal to the set of time or frequency resources associated with the second data traffic, and wherein:
• the one or more preferred channels are associated with a channel scan performed by the wireless communication device that indicates that the one or more preferred channels are associated with lower channel utilization levels than other channels associated with higher channel utilization levels;
• and
• the one or more preferred times are associated with a target wake time (TWT) schedule;
• obtain link configuration information from the root AP responsive to the data session request, the link configuration information indicating a first set of time or frequency resources reserved for the first data traffic;
• and
• establish a data path with the root AP associated with the first set of time or frequency resources, the data path being reserved for the first data traffic.
