Abstract
A Real-Time Application (RTA) interface between the Medium Access Control (MAC) and Application (APP) layers of interworking communications in the OSI model for use in wireless local area networks (WLANs). The interface between MAC and APP layers can be utilized for RTA packets, while non-RTA packets can still use the regular OSI model. In initializing a new RTA session the APP layer communicates a set of requirements to the MAC layer. The MAC layer monitors the channel and measures key performance indicators (KPIs) and either accepts or rejects the request. The interoperability between the APP and MAC layers provide enhanced abilities to reduce RTA packet latencies, as well as other benefits.
