In one aspect a device includes a receiver configured to receive transmissions on a plurality of channels. The device also includes a processor configured to determine whether a channel is one at least a first type or a second type of channel. If the channel is the first type, the processor is configured to determine whether the channel is available based at least in part on a set of first clear channel assessment thresholds. If the channel is the second type, the processor is configured to determine whether the channel is available based at least in part on a set of second clear channel assessment thresholds, where the set of second clear channel assessment thresholds is greater than or equal to the set of first clear channel assessment thresholds.

Abstract: Systems and methods for low overhead paging in a wireless communications network are described herein. In some aspects, an apparatus for wireless communication includes a receiver and a processor. The receiver receives a request from a first device. The request indicates a first period of a plurality of periods corresponding to a periodicity for transmitting paging messages. The processor assigns the first device to a group scheduled to receive paging messages at most every first period based on the request and determines a start time for transmitting paging messages to the first device based on schedules for transmitting paging messages to a plurality of other devices. In other aspects, an apparatus for wireless communication includes a processor and memory. The processor derives an information sub-unit from an information unit associated with a paging message, compresses the information sub-unit, and generates a second information unit associated with the method of compression.

Abstract: An explicit indication is provided regarding whether information was subjected to interference during transmission. For example, a receiver can monitor received packets and determine whether any of data units in a given received packet were subjected to interference during transmission. If so, the receiver can send an indication to the transmitter to inform the transmitter of the interference. This indication enables the transmitter to distinguish between packet loss that occurred as a result of channel fade and packet loss that occurred as a result of interference. Consequently, the transmitter is able to invoke different actions depending on whether the packet loss is due to channel fade or interference.
