Adjusting channel access parameters due to traffic load

摘要

An apparatus (STA) receives from a first node (AP1) at least one channel access related parameter and a first congestion indication; and receives from a second node (AP2) a second congestion indication. The apparatus determines a combined congestion indication which is based at least on the first congestion indication and the second congestion indication; and determines a first channel access parameter for a channel between the apparatus and the first node based at least partly on the at least one channel access related parameter and the combined congestion indication. In specific embodiments, the channel access related parameters may be an initial EDCA parameter and a degradation factor.

1. An apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor; and at least one memory storing computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
determine a combined congestion indication which is based at least on a first congestion indication received from a first node and a second congestion indication received from a second node;determine a first channel access parameter for a channel between the apparatus and the first node based at least partly on at least one channel access related parameter received from the first node and the combined congestion indication; anddetermine a second channel access parameter for the channel between the apparatus and the first node based at least partly on the at least one channel access related parameter and the combined congestion indication.
