Soliciting in-basic service set (BSS) interference reports

An apparatus for wireless communication at a first station, comprising:

• a first interface;
• a second interface;
• and
• a wireless modem coupled with the first interface and the second interface, wherein the wireless modem is configured to:
• receive a first message to a first set of one or more stations including the first station, the first message comprising an instruction to monitor a first wireless channel for interference by a second set of one or more stations different from the first set of one or more stations and during an uplink transmission from the second set of one or more stations over the first wireless channel;
• monitor the first wireless channel for interference from the second set of one or more stations during the uplink transmission based at least in part on the first message;
• receive a second message from the first set of one or more stations, the second message soliciting an interference report;
• and
• transmit the interference report based at least in part on the first message and the second message.

An apparatus for wireless communication at an access point, comprising:

• a first interface;
• a second interface;
• and
• a wireless modem coupled with the first interface and the second interface, wherein the wireless modem is configured to:
• identify a plurality of sectors of a geographic coverage area corresponding to the access point;
• transmit a set of one or more directional training signals, each of the set of one or more directional training signals corresponding to a sector of the plurality of sectors;
• receive, based at least in part on the set of one or more directional training signals, a signal to noise ratio (SNR) report from a set of one or more stations located within the geographic coverage area;
• compare the received SNR reports for each station for each of the set of one or more stations;
• and
• adjust a communication parameter based at least in part on the comparing.

An apparatus for wireless communication at a station, comprising:

• a first interface;
• a second interface;
• and a wireless modem coupled with the first interface and the second interface, wherein the wireless modem is configured to:
• receive a set of directional training signals, each of the set of directional training signals corresponding to a sector of a plurality of sectors;
• determine a signal to noise ratio (SNR) parameter for each directional training signal of the set of directional training signals;
• and
• transmit an SNR report based at least in part on the received set of directional training signals and the determined SNR parameters.
