ESTIMATING AND UTILIZING CLIENT RECEIVE INTERFERENCE CANCELLATION CAPABILITY IN MULTI-USER TRANSMISSIONS

摘要

A first device having a plurality of antennas wirelessly transmits multiple series of test packets to a second device having one or more antennas, each series of test packets being transmitted with a different level of interference imposed on the test packets. The first device determines a packet error rate for each series of test packets transmitted by the first device. The first device derives an estimate of an interference cancellation capability of the second device based on the packet error rate for different levels of interference.
