Abstract
Device, system, and method of adjusting channel utilization for wireless transmission. For example, a wireless communication unit may control a wireless transmission by a wireless communication device during a contention period, wherein the wireless communication unit is to wait for a back-off period prior to beginning the wireless transmission during the contention period, and wherein a duration of the back-off period is based on a transmission power of the wireless transmission. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Claims20
A wireless communication device comprising:
- a wireless communication unit to control a wireless transmission by the wireless communication device during a contention period,
- wherein the wireless communication unit is to wait for a back-off period prior to beginning the wireless transmission during the contention period,
- and wherein a duration of the back-off period is based on a contention-window adjustment function corresponding to a transmission power of the wireless transmission.
A wireless communication system including:
- a wireless communication device including:
- at least one antenna;
- and
- a wireless communication unit to control a wireless transmission via the antenna according to a back-off mechanism,
- wherein the wireless communication unit is to determine at least one back-off parameter of the back-off mechanism based on a transmission power of the wireless transmission.
A method including:
- at a wireless communication device, setting a transmission power of a wireless transmission based on one or more parameters of a communication link for transmitting the wireless transmission according to a back-off mechanism utilizing a back-off period;
- and
- based on the transmission power, adjusting a duration of the back-off period.
