Abstract
A set of nodes may communicate in a manner that is asynchronous with respect to the communication between other sets of nodes. To facilitate reservations of resources by different nodes, a node may transmit a message that requests neighboring nodes to limit their interfering transmissions on a given resource and then transmit another message to inform the neighboring nodes that the node is no longer using the resource. To address problems that may be caused by concurrent asynchronous transmissions by different nodes, a messaging scheme may be used to enable a first node to acquire control information transmitted by asynchronous neighboring nodes while the first node was transmitting, and was thereby unable to receive control messages.
Claims57
A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- transmitting a first interference management message that comprises a request for reduction in interference;
- and
- transmitting a second interference management message that indicates that the request for reduction in interference is terminated.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a message controller configured to provide:
- a first interference management message that comprises a request for a reduction in interference, and
- a second interference management message that indicates that the request for reduction in interference is terminated;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit the first interference management message and the second interference management message.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- means for providing:
- a first interference management message that comprises a request for reduction in interference, and
- a second interference management message that indicates that the request for reduction in interference is terminated;
- and
- means for transmitting the first interference management message and the second interference management message.
A computer-program product for wireless communication, comprising:
- computer-readable medium comprising codes executable to:
- transmit a first interference management message that comprises a request for reduction in interference;
- and
- transmit a second interference management message that indicates that the request for reduction in interference is terminated.
An access point, comprising:
- an antenna;
- a message controller configured to provide:
- a first interference management message that comprises a request for a reduction in interference, and
- a second interference management message that indicates that the request for reduction in interference is terminated;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit the first interference management message and the second interference management message via the antenna.
An access terminal, comprising:
- a message controller configured to provide:
- a first interference management message that comprises a request for a reduction in interference, and
- a second interference management message that indicates that the request for reduction in interference is terminated;
- a transmitter configured to transmit the first interference management message and the second interference management message;
- and
- a user interface configured to output an indication based on data received after the transmission of the first interference management message and before the transmission of the second interference management message.
A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving a first interference management message that comprises a request for reduction in interference;
- limiting transmission in response to the request;
- and
- receiving a second interference management message that indicates that the request for reduction in interference is terminated.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive:
- a first interference management message that comprises a request for reduction in interference, and
- a second interference management message that indicates that the request for reduction in interference is terminated;
- and
- a communication controller configured to limit transmission in response to the request.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- means for receiving:
- a first interference management message that comprises a request for reduction in interference, and
- a second interference management message that indicates that the request for reduction in interference is terminated;
- and
- means for limiting transmission in response to the request.
A computer-program product for wireless communication, comprising:
- computer-readable medium comprising codes executable to:
- receive a first interference management message that comprises a request for reduction in interference;
- limit transmission in response to the request;
- and
- receive a second interference management message that indicates that the request for reduction in interference is terminated.
An access point, comprising:
- an antenna;
- a receiver configured to receive, via the antenna:
- a first interference management message that comprises a request for reduction in interference, and
- a second interference management message that indicates that the request for reduction in interference is terminated;
- and
- a communication controller configured to limit transmission in response to the request.
An access terminal, comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive:
- a first interference management message that comprises a request for reduction in interference, and
- a second interference management message that indicates that the request for reduction in interference is terminated;
- a communication controller configured to limit transmission in response to the request;
- and
- a user interface configured to output an indication based on data received via the receiver.
