Simultaneous transmission of peer-to-peer and infrastructure traffic

A first wireless device comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and
• a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to:
• transmit a message indicating a capability to support a simultaneous channel access transmission to a second wireless device;
• receive, from the second wireless device, an indication for support of the simultaneous channel access transmission;
• negotiate parameters of coordination for the simultaneous channel access transmission with the second wireless device;
• perform coordinated channel access inside coordination windows for the simultaneous channel access transmission with the second wireless device;
• and
• perform uncoordinated channel access outside the coordination windows for non-simultaneous channel access transmission with the second wireless device.

An access point (AP) associated with a second inter-connected network, the AP comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and
• a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to:
• receive a message indicating a capability to support a simultaneous channel access transmission from a first wireless device, wherein the first wireless device is a member of a first inter-connected network;
• transmit, to the first wireless device, an indication for support of the simultaneous channel access transmission;
• negotiate parameters of coordination for the simultaneous channel access transmission with the first wireless device;
• perform coordinated channel access inside coordination windows for the simultaneous channel access transmission with the first wireless device;
• and
• perform uncoordinated channel access outside the coordination windows for non-simultaneous channel access transmission with the first wireless device.
