EFFICIENT MULTI-CLIENT ACCESS USING DYNAMIC CONTENTION WINDOW

摘要

According to some embodiments of the invention there is provided an apparatus adapted to update a contention window (CW). The apparatus comprises a wireless local area network (WLAN) transceiver adapted to receive, during a monitoring period, two or more transmissions from two or more WLAN devices. The apparatus comprises a processor adapted to perform the following actions. The processor is adapted to identify transmission timing of two or more data frames encoded in some of the transmissions during the monitoring period. The processor is adapted to identify interlude timing of two or more transmission interludes between the data frames. The processor is adapted to calculate a statistical measure of length of the transmission interludes. The processor is adapted to update a CW value of the WLAN devices according to the statistical measure.
