Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are provided for a medium access protocol at non-simultaneous transmission and reception (STR) access points (APs) and end user devices (STAs). A method performed by a non-STR MAP includes identifying a medium state of a first channel of the MAP; and adapting transmission on a second channel of the MAP, based on the identified medium state of the first channel.
Claims20
A method performed by a non-simultaneous transmission and reception (STR) mobile access point (MAP), the method comprising:
- identifying a medium state of a first channel of the MAP;
- and
- adapting transmission on a second channel of the MAP, based on the identified medium state of the first channel.
A non-simultaneous transmission and reception (STR) mobile access point (MAP), the MAP comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- identify a medium state of a first channel of the MAP, and
- adapt transmission on a second channel of the MAP, based on the identified medium state of the first channel.
A method performed by a non-simultaneous transmission and reception (STR) end user device (STA), the method comprising:
- transmitting, on a first channel, to a mobile access point (MAP), a request to send (RTS) message;
- identifying that no clear to send (CTS) message is received from the MAP, in response to transmitting the RTS message;
- identifying that a medium state of the first channel is idle;
- and
- activating a recess timer countdown, in response to identifying that no CTS message is received and that the medium state of the first channel is idle.
A non-simultaneous transmission and reception (STR) end user device (STA), the STA comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- transmit, via the transceiver, on a first channel, to a mobile access point (MAP), a request to send (RTS) message;
- identify that no clear to send (CTS) message is received from the MAP, in response to transmitting the RTS message;
- identify that a medium state of the first channel is idle;
- and
- activate a recess timer countdown, in response to identifying that no CTS message is received and that the medium state of the first channel is idle.
