MULTICARRIER MAC USING RESOURCE UTILIZATION MESSAGES

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed that facilitate dynamically adjusting a number of resources, such as channels, frequencies, tones, etc., occupied by a node (e.g., an access point, and access terminal, etc.) in accordance with various aspects. A level of service experienced at the node may be determined, and a resource utilization message (RUM) may be generated if the level of service is at or below a predetermined threshold level (e.g., an acceptable level of service). The RUM may indicate a number of resources selected by the node for subsequent use, and may be transmitted to one or more other nodes.
