ENHANCEMENTS FOR COORDINATED ORTHOGONAL BLOCK-BASED RESOURCE ALLOCATION (COBRA) IN WLAN SYSTEMS

摘要

A method for use in an IEEE 802.11 station (STA) for receiving data from an IEEE 802.11 access point (AP) via a coordinated orthogonal block resource allocation (COBRA) is described. The STA may receive a COBRA schedule from the AP and transmit an acknowledgement (ACK) to the AP in the COBRA TXOP. The STA may receive a first data packet in the COBRA TxOP based on the COBRA schedule. The STA may determine whether the first data packet is received successfully and on a condition that the first data packet is not received successfully, the STA may transmit a negative acknowledgement (NACK) to the AP in the COBRA TxOP.
