According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure provides techniques for QoS negotiation for uplink and downlink traffic. A network device receives a Stream Classification Service (SCS) request from an associated station (STA). The SCS request comprises one or more sets of traffic class (TCLAS) information and a preferred traffic identifier (TID) value for a data flow transmitted between the STA and the network device. The network device determines a type of service of the data flow by analyzing the one or more sets of TCLAS information. The network device confirms that the type of service does not align with the preferred TID value under one or more defined network policies. In response to the confirmation, the network device sends an SCS response to the STA comprising adjustments of at least one of the one or more sets of TCLAS information or the preferred TID value to a new TID value."

The patent application was internationally filed on Aug. 30, 2024, under International application No.PCT/US2024/044782.
