SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUS FOR INCREASING REUSE IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

Systems, methods, and apparatus are disclosed for increasing reuse in wireless communications. In one aspect, a method of wireless communication is provided, transmitting a message to a first station indicating an identified transmission opportunity for the first station to communicate with a second station. The method further comprises transmitting a first wireless communication signal to at least a third station utilizing beamformed wireless communication such that the first wireless communication signal to the third station has a received signal level below a threshold at one or both of the first and second stations. The identified transmission opportunity is based on whether a transmission of a second wireless communication signal between the first and the second stations occurs over a period of time that is at least partially concurrent with the utilized beamformed communication.
