ENABLING HIDDEN NODE PROTECTION PROCEDURE

摘要

In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a first device. The first device determines a transmission link condition for transmitting at least one frame to a second device, the transmission link condition affecting interference received by the second device from a hidden node when the second device is receiving the at least one frame. The first device also determines whether the transmission link condition satisfies a predetermined criterion. The first device further enables a hidden node protection procedure when the transmission link condition satisfy the predetermined criterion, the hidden node protection procedure reserving a medium used for transmitting the at least one frame to protect reception at the second device from the interference caused by the hidden node. The first device yet further transmits the at least one frame to the second device.

主权项

1. A method of wireless communication of a first device, the first device being an access point (AP) or a station (STA), comprising:
determining a transmission link condition for transmitting at least one frame to a second device, the transmission link condition affecting interference received by the second device from a hidden node when the second device is receiving the at least one frame; determining whether the transmission link condition satisfies a predetermined criterion; enabling a hidden node protection procedure when the transmission link condition satisfy the predetermined criterion, the hidden node protection procedure reserving a medium used for transmitting the at least one frame to protect reception at the second device from the interference caused by the hidden node; and transmitting the at least one frame to the second device.
