Abstract
Techniques, at a subscriber station, for assigning packets to queues to prioritize real-time content over non-real time content. Packets with the same connection identifier are assigned to different priority queues. Block sequence numbers are assigned to packets after storage of packets to queues based on priority.
Claims20
A method, performed at a subscriber station, the method comprising:
- receiving a packet;
- determining a priority of the packet;
- requesting storage of the packet into a queue among multiple queues based in part on the priority of the packet;
- assigning a block sequence number to the packet after storage of the packet into a queue;
- and
- requesting transmission of the packet.
3 more elements
A subscriber station comprising:
- a local classifier to receive packets having the same connection identifier and to assign a queue among multiple queues based on a priority of the packet, wherein the multiple queues are associated with packets having the same connection identifier and
- automatic repeat request logic to provide Block Sequence Numbers (BSN) to packets of the same connection identifier after the packets are classified into queues.
A subscriber station system comprising:
- a display device and
- a host system comprising:
- a central processing unit to request content to be transmitted to a base station;
- a local classifier to receive packets including the content having the same connection identifier and to assign a queue among multiple queues based on a priority of the packet, wherein the multiple queues are associated with packets having the same connection identifier;
- and
- transmit automatic repeat request logic to provide Block Sequence Numbers (BSN) to packets of the same connection identifier after the packets are classified into queues.
