Hybrid coordination function implementation
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- alternating writing at least one transmission instruction of transmission instructions related to one or more wireless transmissions from a node to a first buffer of the node while reading at least one transmission instruction of the transmission instructions from a second buffer of the node and writing at least one transmission instruction of the transmission instructions to the second buffer while reading at least one transmission instruction of the transmission instructions from the first buffer;
writing feedback information related to the alternating to a field within a transmission instruction of the transmissions instructions to which at least part of the feedback information applies; and
modifying one or more parameters associated with at least one of the first buffer or the second buffer based on the alternating, wherein at least one of the one or more parameters indicates a maximum time for executing transmission instructions included in the at least one of the first buffer or the second buffer.

Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and systems are presented for transmission generation at a node in a wireless network involving writing a sequence of transmission instructions to a plurality of independently accessible buffers such that each one of the sequence of transmission instructions is written to one of the plurality of independently accessible buffers, reading each one of the sequence of transmission instructions from one of the plurality of independently accessible buffers, and carrying out at least one transmission task in accordance with each transmission instruction read from one of the plurality of independently accessible buffers, wherein a read operation for reading one of the sequence of transmission instructions from one of the independently accessible buffers may overlap in time with a write operation for writing another one of the sequence of transmission instructions to another one of the independently accessible buffers.

9. An apparatus comprising:
-
means for alternating a means for writing transmission instructions to buffers and a means for reading the transmission instructions from the buffers in a round-robin manner to affect wireless transfer from a node based on the transmission instructions; means for writing feedback information to a field within a corresponding transmission instruction of the transmission instructions, the feedback information output from the means for alternating; and means for updating at least one parameter associated with at least one buffer of the buffers based on the means for alternating, wherein the at least one parameter indicates a maximum time for executing transmission instructions included in the at least one buffer. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)

10. An apparatus comprising:
-
a higher level module coupled to at least two buffers, wherein the higher level module is configured to; write transmission instructions to the at least two buffers in a first round-robin manner; and control duration of at least one of a contention free period (CFP) or a contention period (CP) by stopping and resuming at least one write of a transmission instruction of the transmission instructions; and a lower level module coupled to the at least two buffers, wherein the lower level module is configured to; read the transmission instructions from the at least two buffers in a second round-robin manner; and execute one or more transmission instructions read from a buffer of the at least two buffers based on a maximum instruction execution time associated with the buffer. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
