Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices are described for improve network performance, such as throughput and PER, by allowing nodes to adjust energy detection (ED) threshold levels. For example, a method for Wi-Fi wireless communication includes determining, by a first node, an ED threshold level for a second node of a wireless network based at least in part on a metric for the first node. The method may also include signaling, from the first node to the second node, an ED level set element that indicates the determined ED threshold level. In another example, a method includes signaling, by a first node, an ED level adjustment capability of the first node to one or more nodes in a wireless network.

A method for Wi-Fi wireless communication, comprising:
- determining, by a first node, an energy detection (ED) threshold level for a second node of a wireless network based at least in part on a metric for the first node;
- and
- signaling, from the first node to the second node, an ED level set element that indicates the determined ED threshold level.
A device for Wi-Fi wireless communication, comprising:
- an energy detection (ED) level decision unit to determine an ED threshold level for a first node of a wireless network based at least in part on a metric of the first node;
- and
- a transmitter to signal an ED level set element that indicates the determined ED threshold level.
An apparatus for Wi-Fi wireless communication, comprising:
- a processor;
- memory in electronic communication with the processor and instructions stored in the memory, wherein the instructions are executable by the processor to:
- determine an energy detection (ED) threshold level for a node of a wireless network based at least in part on a metric;
- and
- signal an ED level set element that indicates the determined ED threshold level.
A method for Wi-Fi wireless communication, comprising:
