Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. In one implementation, an apparatus includes a processing system configured to attempt communication with a first device via a first channel, connect with a second device associated with the first device in response to a determination that communication with the first device was unsuccessful on the first channel, and receive channel information associated with the first device from the second device, wherein the channel information indicates a second channel used by the first device.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus is configured to determine a communication deferral policy within a BSS associated with the apparatus. The apparatus is configured to receive a message from a second wireless device. The apparatus is configured to determine a message type of the message. The apparatus is configured to determine whether the message is associated with an OBSS based on the determined message type. The apparatus is configured to determine whether to defer communications based on the communication deferral policy, the message type, and whether the message is associated with the OBSS.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. In one aspect, an apparatus is configured to adjust an EDCA parameter based on a signal strength of a signal from an access point or a distance between the station and the access point and to communicate with the access point based on the adjusted EDCA parameter.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. In one aspect, an apparatus is configured generate a frame that includes a preamble decodable by a first device type and by a second device type and a plurality of data units. The preamble includes a plurality of fields and each field of the plurality of fields is decodable by the first device type. Each data unit of the plurality of data units includes a payload and an error detection field decodable by the second device type. The apparatus is further configured to transmit the frame to a second wireless device.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a node. The node may suffer poor QoS due to low medium usage caused by a number of contenders. The apparatus obtains node information of the node. The apparatus receives configuration information from a configuring device. The apparatus determines whether to trigger an enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) adjustment based on at least one of the configuration information or the node information. A purpose of the adjustment is to improve the node's QoS by increasing the aggressiveness of node's EDCA parameters or by reducing the aggressiveness of neighboring nodes' EDCA parameters.
Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods for wireless communications are disclosed. An apparatus includes a processing system configured to associate with a first remote apparatus, monitor a wireless medium for a request from a second remote apparatus, and determine whether to enable an interface between the first and second remote apparatuses in response to the request.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. A first apparatus includes a processor configured to set a location of a primary channel in a operating channel width (Op CW) on which a second apparatus is allowed to communicate with the first apparatus, define a set of operating channels independent of the Op CW, wherein the set of operating channels includes a channel via which the second apparatus is allowed to change the location of the primary channel to communicate with the first apparatus, indicate the set of operating channels to the second apparatus, indicate an offset associated with a channel of the set of operating channels to identify the location of the primary channel, and indicate an offset associated with the location of the primary channel to identify a location of the set of operating channels.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to wireless communications, and more specifically to systems, methods, and devices for staggered primary channel selection for WiFi. According to certain aspects, a method for wireless communications is provided. The method may be performed, for example, by an access point (AP). The method generally includes obtaining information regarding neighbor basic service sets (BSSs), selecting a primary channel based on the obtained information, and output for transmission a message signaling an intention to communicate using the selected primary channel.
