Claims21
A method for conflict avoidance in a cellular communication network, the method comprising the steps of:
- transmitting a request-to-send/clear-to-send (RTS/CTS) configuration message from a base station of the cellular network to a mobile device served by the base station to cause the mobile device to activate an RTS/CTS process;
- transmitting an RTS message from the base station to the mobile device requesting at least one CTS message from the mobile device;
- and
- receiving a CTS message at the base station from the mobile device in accordance with the RTS/CTS process.
