<p>Collisions in a wireless network are detected and resolved through the use of transmissions by access points in the network. In some aspects, each access point may select a resource from a set of resources and transmit an indication of a unique identifier (e.g., a long identifier) of that access point on the selected resource. In some aspects, each access point may select a bit and append that bit to a reused identifier (e.g., a short identifier) of that access point to provide a channelization parameter that is used to channelize signals transmitted by the access point. The selection by a given access point may be based on a unique identifier assigned to that access point. The selection by a given access point may be a pseudorandom selection (e.g., based on a corresponding unique identifier). Another node (e.g., an access terminal) in the network may identify a collision based on the transmissions by the access points. In this case, the node may transmit an indication of the collision to cause one of the access points to cease transmitting. The node may then inform one colliding access point of the existence and identity of the other colliding access point to enable the access points to resolve the collision.</p> |
