OPPORTUNISTIC DUAL-BAND RELAY |
| 摘要 |
A method of enabling data to be relayed between an access point (AP) and a target station (STA). The AP identifies the target STA based at least in part on a medium usage efficiency of the target STA. The AP further sends a relay selection trigger to the target STA to cause the target STA to broadcast a relay selection request to a set of candidate STAs. The relay selection request includes a set of metrics pertaining to a direct link between the AP and the target STA. The AP then receives one or more relay selection responses from one or more candidate STAs in the set of candidate STAs based at least in part on the set of metrics and selects a relay STA from the set of candidate STAs based at least in part on the one or more relay selection responses. |

1. A method of operating an access point (AP) in a network, the method comprising:
identifying a target station (STA) in the network based at least in part on a medium usage efficiency of the target STA; sending a relay selection trigger to the target STA to cause the target STA to broadcast a relay selection request to a set of candidate STAs in the network, wherein the relay selection request includes a set of metrics pertaining to a direct link between the AP and the target STA; receiving one or more relay selection responses from one or more candidate STAs in the set of candidate STAs based at least in part on the set of metrics; and selecting a relay STA from the one or more candidate STAs based at least in part on the one or more relay selection responses, wherein the selected relay STA is to relay data between the AP and the target STA. |
