METHOD AND SIGNALING PROCEDURE FOR TRANSMISSION OPPORTUNITY USAGE IN A WIRELESS MESH NETWORK

摘要

In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the present invention comprises a method for using the remaining Tx0P time by the peer node to forward traffic to a different destination, a method for using the remaining Tx0P time by the original node to send traffic to a different destination, a method for using the remaining Tx0P time by a neighbor to send traffic to the original node, a method for using the remaining Tx0P time by a neighbor to send traffic to another node, a method to signal the reuse rules of the remaining Tx0P time, and a method to efficiently relinquish/truncate a Tx0P to reset the NAV for the neighborhood.
