Methods and apparatus for interference management in wireless networking

摘要

Systems and techniques for managing channel reservation in a full-duplex wireless network. A transmitting node sends a media access control frame to a receiving node, including an integrity check field in a header of the frame. Upon performing an integrity check and determining that the media access control frame is addressed to itself, the receiving node sends a transmission so as to reserve the channel. If the receiving node has no data to send, the transmission may be an acknowledgement field, and if the receiving node has data to send, the transmission may be a media access control frame including an integrity check field in a header of the frame.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; memory storing computer program code; wherein the computer program code is configured to, with the memory and the at least one processor, cause a receiving node of a wireless network to: upon detecting one or more fields in a header of a frame transmitted by a transmitting node of the wireless network, perform an integrity check on a received portion of the frame; and responsive to performing the integrity check and prior to receiving a complete transmission of the frame, perform an initial transmission to reserve a wireless network channel for use by the receiving node.
