System and method for selecting medium access parameters for each communication session

摘要

Systems and methods for selecting medium access parameters for each communication session are disclosed. In one aspect an access point includes a processor configured to select a value for a medium access parameter for a particular communication session between the access point and a wireless station.

主权项

1. An access point for wireless communications, comprising:
a processor configured to
select a value for a medium access parameter for each individual communication session between the access point and each of a plurality of wireless stations, the medium access parameter comprising at least one of a clear channel assessment threshold and a minimum duration for contention window backoff period, the value for each medium access parameter being selected based at least in part on a path loss between the access point and each of the plurality of wireless stations, selecting the value comprising:
select a first value for the medium access parameter for a first communication session between the access point and a first wireless station within the plurality of wireless stations, andselect a second value for the medium access parameter for a second communication session between the access point and a second wireless station within the plurality of wireless stations, the first value being different from the second value, wherein the processor is configured to select a lower value for the clear channel assessment threshold based at least on determining whether the access point is increasing a transmission power level; and a transceiver configured to communicate with each of the plurality of wireless stations using the selected value for the medium access parameter for each individual communication session.
