Claims23
-35. (canceled)
An apparatus of a wireless communications device, comprising:
- memory circuit;
- and
- hardware circuitry coupled with the memory circuit to process a wireless signal to:
- produce a first clear channel assessment indicator that indicates a clear channel assessment status for a wireless communications channel;
- produce a second clear channel assessment indicator that indicates a clear channel assessment status for the wireless communications channel that differs from the first clear channel assessment indicator;
- produce a combined clear channel assessment indicator by performing an OR operation between the first and second clear channel assessment indicators;
- and
- cause the wireless communications device to refrain from transmitting if the combined clear channel assessment indicator indicates that the wireless communications channel is busy.
5 more elements
A method of communicating in a wireless communications network, including
- performing operations in a wireless communications device, the operations comprising:
- receiving a wireless signal;
- producing a first clear channel assessment indicator that indicates a clear channel assessment status for a channel;
- producing a second clear channel assessment indicator that indicates a clear channel assessment status for the channel that differs from the first clear channel assessment;
- producing a combined clear channel assessment indicator by performing an OR operation between the first and second clear channel assessment indicators;
- and
- refraining from transmitting if the combined clear channel assessment indicator indicates that the channel is busy.
4 more elements
At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions that, in response to being executed at a wireless communication device, cause the wireless communication device to:
- receive a wireless signal;
- produce a first clear channel assessment indicator that indicates a clear channel assessment status for a channel;
- produce a second clear channel assessment indicator that indicates a clear channel assessment status for the channel that differs from the first clear channel assessment;
- produce a combined clear channel assessment indicator by performing an OR operation between the first and second clear channel assessment indicators;
- and
- refrain from transmitting if the combined clear channel assessment indicator indicates that the channel is busy.
3 more elements
