ADAPTIVE RTS/CTS IN HIGH-EFFICIENCY WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

A method, apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable media configured to adaptively enable a request to send/clear to send protocol is disclosed herein. An embodiment may comprise identifying one or more rules including on one or more of a plurality of communication link characteristics of a plurality of communication links between an access point and one or more devices of a plurality of devices. An embodiment may further comprise selectively enabling the request to send/clear to send protocol between the access point and the one or more devices of the plurality of wireless devices based on whether each link characteristic of the one or more rules has satisfied a link characteristics threshold in each rule. In certain embodiments, a station or an access point may identify a rule and transmit the rule to other devices, stipulating one or more conditions which request to send/clear to send is to be used.

主权项

1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
identifying a first rule including one or more of a plurality of communication link characteristics for enabling usage of a request to send/clear to send protocol of a first communication link between an access point and a first device of a plurality of devices; selectively enabling the request to send/clear to send protocol for communication via the first communication link based on whether each transmission characteristic of the first rule has satisfied a first link characteristic threshold; identifying a second rule including one or more of the plurality of communication link characteristics for enabling usage of the request to send/clear to send protocol of a second communication link between the access point and a second device of the plurality of devices; and selectively enabling the request to send/clear to send protocol for communication via the second communication link based on whether each link characteristic of the second rule has satisfied a second link characteristic threshold.
