COMMUNICATION USING DISTRIBUTED CHANNEL ACCESS PARAMETERS

摘要

A method includes in response to receiving a modified enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) parameter set IE at a station, determining a value of an EDCA parameter based on a delta value (e.g. a value for which to multiply a current EDCA parameter) in the modified EDCA parameter set IE and based on a base (default) value of the EDCA parameter. Receiving two sets of EDCA parameters and selecting one of them according to the characteristics of the station. Receiving a EDCA parameter set and an override indication (i.e. indicating that the station must adopt the EDCA parameter set, thereby avoiding at the station to calculate the parameter set by itself). Receiving a EDCA parameter set and an filter condidion (e.g. a subset of station capabilities, like one or more global identifiers (GIDS) of one or more stations or operation modes of the STAs). Determine whether to adopt an EDCA parameter set based on a toggle indication.
