Abstract
A method in a communications device includes: maintaining an association between the communications device and a basic service set identifier; detecting a message at a wireless interface of the communications device; determining whether the message is associated with the basic service set identifier; and when the message is not associated with the basic service set identifier, determining whether to update a timer corresponding to transmission medium availability based on a received signal strength of the message.
