Abstract
Multi-Class Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) scheduling may be provided. A plurality of network devices may be assigned a transmission window for channel access. The plurality of network devices may include a first number of client devices and a second number of client devices. A first signal may be sent to the first number of network devices. The first signal may enable the first number of network devices to the channel access in a first portion of the transmission window. An amount of data to be exchanged by each of the second number of network devices may be determined. Based on the determined amount of data to be exchanged, a schedule may be determined for the channel access for each of the second number of network devices in a second portion of the transmission window. A second signal may be sent to the second number of network devices based on the determined schedule. The second signal may enable the second number of network devices to the channel access in the second portion of the transmission window.
