Title:
USING RTS/CTS TO ENHANCE NETWORK PERFORMANCE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/044725
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be an AP. The AP determines an interference metric of a BSS having a plurality of STAs. The AP is in the BSS. The interference metric indicates a degree of interference in the BSS caused by one or more hidden nodes associated with the plurality of STAs. The AP determines whether the interference metric meets a threshold. The AP transmits, to the plurality of STAs, a frame including an indicator when the interference metric meets the threshold. The indicator indicates to each of the plurality of STAs to enable a medium reserving procedure. The medium reserving procedure reserves a medium for data transmission.
