Frame burst overlapping basic service set handling

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory operatively connected to the processor, and including computer code that when executed, causes the system to:
• transmit, by a first access point (AP), a frame burst synchronization packet to a set of clients in a network, wherein the frame burst synchronization packet comprises an access category;
• upon receiving a number of responses to the frame burst synchronization packet corresponding with the access category, determine the number corresponds with a number of the set of clients in the network that utilize the access category supported by the first AP;
• provide a first synchronization packet that indicates the number of clients associated with the first AP that support the access category supported by the first AP;
• receive a second synchronization packet that indicates a number of clients associated with a second AP;
• determine a transmit opportunity duration for a first frame burst transmission based on the number of clients associated with the first AP and the number of clients associated with the second AP;
• transmit the first frame burst transmission based on the transmit opportunity duration;
• and
• wait for an idle duration allowing the clients associated with the first AP or the clients associated with the second AP to transmit using a wireless channel associated with the frame burst transmission.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to:

• transmit a frame burst synchronization packet to a set of clients in a network, wherein the frame burst synchronization packet comprises an access category supported by a first access point (AP);
• upon receiving a number of responses to the frame burst synchronization packet corresponding with the access category, determine the number corresponds with a number of the set of clients in the network that utilize the access category supported by the first AP;
• provide a first synchronization packet that indicates a number of clients associated with the first AP;
• receive a second synchronization packet that indicates a number of clients associated with a second AP;
• determine a transmit opportunity duration for a frame burst transmission based on the number of clients associated with the first AP and the number of clients associated with the second AP;
• determine that a wireless channel is free to transmit;
• and
• transmit the frame burst transmission on the wireless channel based on the transmit opportunity duration followed by an idle time interval allowing the clients associated with the first AP or the clients associated with the second AP to transmit using a wireless channel associated with the frame burst transmission.
