CO-EXISTENCE FOR SPATIAL REUSE IN WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORKS

摘要

An apparatus of a first high-efficiency (HE) access point (AP) or station for spatial reuse is the disclosed. The apparatus includes processing circuitry configured to: decode a first portion of a first packet; and if the first portion indicates the first packet was transmitted by a second HE AP or station and that the first packet is an overlapping basic service set (OBSS) packet, then if a preamble detect energy is below a threshold, cause to be transmitted a second packet simultaneously with a portion of the first packet after the first portion. The processing circuitry may be configured to determine the first portion was transmitted by the second HE AP or station if a field in a physical (PRY) header or a second field in a media access control (MAC) header indicate the first packet was transmitted by the second HE AP or station.

主权项

1. An apparatus of a first station, the apparatus comprising memory and processing circuitry coupled to the memory, the processing circuitry configured to:
decode a first portion of a first packet; and if the first portion indicates the first packet was transmitted by a second station or an access point (AP) and that the first packet is an overlapping basic service set (OBSS) packet, then if a preamble detect energy is below a threshold, cause to be transmitted a second packet simultaneously with a portion of the first packet after the first portion.
