Estimating the term…
A method, a computer program product, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus determines a degree of a link based on interference observed from at least one other link, determines a priority of the link based on the determined degree, and decides whether to yield based on the determined priority. The priority of the link may further be based on a determined data rate of the link. The apparatus may transmit the priority to another device via a request to send (RTS) signal and/or a clear to send (CTS) signal. The apparatus may also determine a priority associated with an active link and decide whether to yield to the active link by comparing the determined priority of the link with the priority of the active link.
A method of wireless communication, comprising:
The method of 6, wherein the priority associated with the active link is determined by receiving a slow-time broadcast of a degree and a fast-time broadcast of information based on a data rate, and wherein the broadcast of the information is received at a rate faster than a rate at which the broadcast of the degree is received.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
The apparatus of 15, wherein the priority associated with the active link is determined by receiving a slow-time broadcast of a degree and a fast-time broadcast of information based on a data rate, and wherein the broadcast of the information is received at a rate faster than a rate at which the broadcast of the degree is received.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
The apparatus of 24, wherein the priority associated with the active link is determined by receiving a slow-time broadcast of a degree and a fast-time broadcast of information based on a data rate, and wherein the broadcast of the information is received at a rate faster than a rate at which the broadcast of the degree is received.
A computer program product, comprising:
The computer program product of 33, wherein the priority associated with the active link is determined by receiving a slow-time broadcast of a degree and a fast-time broadcast of information based on a data rate, and wherein the broadcast of the information is received at a rate faster than a rate at which the broadcast of the degree is received.
