Methods and apparatus relating to scheduling of air link resources, e.g., traffic segments, in a wireless communications system are described. Various described methods and apparatus are well suited to wireless peer to peer networks in which traffic scheduling is decentralized, e.g. an ad hoc peer to peer network. An individual wireless terminal corresponding to a peer to peer connection which desires to transmit traffic signals make transmitter yielding decisions on a traffic slot by traffic slot basis. The transmitter yielding decision, in some embodiments, includes comparing a link quality estimate corresponding to a higher priority link intending to use the same traffic segment concurrently, to a dynamically generated transmitter yielding threshold. The dynamically generated transmitter yielding threshold is determined based on at least one of: quality of service information corresponding to its own link and historical link quality information corresponding to the higher priority link.
A method of operating a first wireless terminal in a system including a first wireless communications link from a second wireless terminal to a third wireless terminal, said first communications link having a higher priority than a second communications link from the first wireless terminal to a fourth wireless terminal, the method comprising:
A first wireless terminal in a system including a first wireless communications link from a second wireless terminal to a third wireless terminal, said first communications link having a higher priority than a second communications link from the first wireless terminal to a fourth wireless terminal, the first wireless terminal comprising:
A first wireless terminal in a system including a first wireless communications link from a second wireless terminal to a third wireless terminal, said first communications link having a higher priority than a second communications link from the first wireless terminal to a fourth wireless terminal, the first wireless terminal comprising:
A computer program product for use in a first wireless terminal in a system including a first wireless communications link from a second wireless terminal to a third wireless terminal, said first communications link having a higher priority than a second communications link from the first wireless terminal to a fourth wireless terminal, the computer program product comprising:
