Abstract
An access point (AP) may prioritize the allocation of uplink resources between multiple basic service sets (BSSs). In some aspects, the AP may select one of a plurality of BSSs, may allocate one or more random resource units (RUs) to only the selected BSS, and may transmit a frame indicating the allocation of the one or more random RUs to the selected BSS. Wireless devices belonging to the selected BSS may contend for access to the random RUs allocated by the frame, and then transmit uplink data using the random RUs.
Claims30
A method performed by an access point (AP), comprising:
- selecting a number of basic service sets (BSSs) from a plurality of BSSs, wherein the selected number of BSSs is a subset of the plurality of BSSs;
- allocating one or more random resource units (RUs) to each of the selected BSSs;
- and
- transmitting a frame indicating the allocation of the one or more random RUs to each of the selected BSSs.
An access point (AP), comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the AP to:
- select a number of basic service sets (BSSs) from a plurality of BSSs, wherein the selected number of BSSs is a subset of the plurality of BSSs;
- allocate one or more random resource units (RUs) to each of the selected BSSs;
- and
- transmit a frame indicating the allocation of the one or more random RUs to each of the selected BSSs.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of an access point (AP), cause the AP to perform operations comprising:
- selecting a number of basic service sets (BSSs) from a plurality of BSSs, wherein the selected number of BSSs is a subset of the plurality of BSSs;
- allocating one or more random resource units (RUs) to each of the selected BSSs;
- and
- transmitting a frame indicating the allocation of the one or more random RUs to each of the selected BSSs.
An apparatus, comprising:
- means for selecting a number of basic service sets (BSSs) from a plurality of BSSs, wherein the selected number of BSSs is a subset of the plurality of BSSs;
- means for allocating one or more random resource units (RUs) to each of the selected BSSs;
- and
- means for transmitting a frame indicating the allocation of the one or more random RUs to each of the selected BSSs.
