Abstract
There are provided methods and systems for scheduling downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) transmissions in one or more Point-to-Multipoint (PTMP) IEEE 802.11 orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) based wireless communication networks, each network comprising one or more IEEE 802.11 OFDMA based Access Points (APs) wherein each AP of said one or more APs comprises associate one or more IEEE 802.11 OFDMA stations (STAs), the method comprising the steps of: synchronizing the one or more STAs within each network using one or more synchronization signals transmitted between the one or more APs and the one or more STAs; allocating one or more Framing Slots, wherein each Framing Slot having a fixed time duration; dividing each Framing Slot of said one or more Framing Slots into DL burst transmission and UL burst transmission periods wherein the DL burst transmission periods comprise one or more DL Data Units Bursts and continuously scheduling by said one or more IEEE 802.11 OFDMA based APs the one or more DL Data Units Bursts during said DL transmission period to said one or more STAs; and continuously sending said one or more UL Data Unit Bursts by said one or more STAs to said respective one or more APs.
