Abstract
A method of providing wireless communication, the method including providing a wireless communication network having a plurality of stations, the plurality of stations having a plurality of communication links, each communication link being between two of the plurality of stations, transmitting a signal from at least one of the stations to other stations, measuring signal quality associated with at least one of the communication links based on the signal to generate a measuring result, and determining an interference level associated with at least one of the communication links based on the measuring result.
Claims21
A method of providing wireless communication, the method comprising:
- providing a wireless communication network having a plurality of stations, the plurality of stations having a plurality of communication links, each communication link being between two of the plurality of stations;
- transmitting a signal from at least one of the stations to other stations;
- measuring signal quality associated with at least one of the communication links based on the signal to generate a measuring result;
- and
- determining an interference level associated with at least one of the communication links based on the measuring result.
A method of predicting transmission quality of wireless communication links, the method comprising:
- providing a wireless communication network having a plurality of stations, the plurality of stations providing the communication links among the stations, each communication link being between two of the plurality of stations;
- transmitting a reference signal from at least one of the stations to other stations;
- measuring signal quality associated with at least one of the communication links based on the reference signal to generate measuring results;
- and
- determining an interference level associated with at least one of the communication links based on the measuring results.
A method of configuring reuse of radio communication links, the method comprising:
- providing a wireless communication network having a plurality of stations, the plurality of stations providing the communication links among the stations, each communication link being between two of the plurality of stations;
- transmitting one signal from at least one of the stations to other stations;
- measuring signal quality associated with at least one of the communication links based on the signal to generate measuring results;
- and
- configuring at least one network channel reuse scenario based on the measuring results.
A method of predicting a signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio associated with at least one of a plurality of communication links, the method comprising:
- providing a wireless communication network having a plurality of stations, the plurality of stations providing the communication links among them, each communication link being between two of the plurality of stations;
- transmitting one signal from one or more of the stations to other stations;
- measuring signal quality associated with at least one of the communication links based on the signal to generate measuring results;
- and
- determining a signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio associated with at least one of the communication links based on the measuring results.
