Abstract
A method in a first node of a network comprises computing a packet duration when using a first unicast profile with a first type preamble and a packet duration when using a second unicast profile with a second type preamble; comparing the computed packet durations so as to determine one from the first and second unicast profiles which yields a shorter duration; and sending the packet to a second node by using the determined unicast profile.
Claims20
A method in a first node of a network, the method comprising:
- maintaining a plurality of unicast profiles each of which is provided with a first or second type preamble;
- computing a first packet duration when using a first unicast profile with the first type preamble and a second packet duration when using a second unicast profile with the second type preamble;
- comparing the first and second packet durations so as to determine one from the first and second unicast profiles which yields a shorter packet duration;
- sending a packet to a second node using the determined unicast profile;
- and
- generating and sending a resource request to a control node, the resource request notifying the determined unicast profile and the shorter packet duration determined through the comparison.

A method in a first node of a network, the method comprising:
- maintaining a plurality of unicast profiles each of which is provided with a first or second type preamble;
- computing a first packet duration when using a first unicast profile with the first type preamble and a second packet duration when using a second unicast profile with the second type preamble;
- comparing the first and second packet durations so as to determine one from the first and second unicast profiles which yields a shorter packet duration;
- and
- sending a packet to a second node using the determined unicast profile,
- wherein computing packet durations comprises:
- computing a first nominal packet error rate (NPER) packet duration when using a first nominal packet error rate unicast profile with the first type preamble and a second nominal packet error rate packet duration when using a second nominal packet error rate unicast profile with the second type preamble, wherein the comparing further comprises comparing the first and second nominal packet error rate packet durations so as to determine one from the first and second nominal packet error rate unicast profiles which yields a shorter packet duration;
- and
- computing a first very low packet error rate (VLPER) packet duration when using a first very low packet error rate unicast profile with the first type preamble and a second very low packet error rate packet duration when using a second very low packet error rate unicast profile with the second type preamble, wherein the comparing further comprises comparing the first and second very low packet error rate packet durations so as to determine one from the first and second very low packet error rate unicast profiles which yields a shorter packet duration.

A node in a network, the node comprising:
- a storage device configured to maintain a plurality of unicast profiles each of which is provided with a first or second type preamble;
- a processing unit configured to compute a first packet duration when using a first unicast profile with the first type preamble and a second packet duration when using a second unicast profile with the second type preamble, and compare the first and second packet durations to determine one from the first and second unicast profiles which yields a shorter packet duration;
- and
- a transmitter coupled to the processing unit and configured to send a packet to the other node by using the determined unicast profile,
- wherein the processing unit is further configured to generate a resource request notifying the determined unicast profile and the shorter packet duration determined through the comparison.
