Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for coordinated scheduling of service periods (SPs). In some aspects, an access point (AP) may receive timing information indicating an SP associated with an overlapping basic service set (OBSS) and may transmit, to its associated STAs, coordinated timing information indicating the timing of the SP in relation to its timing synchronization function (TSF) timer. In some aspects, the AP may adjust the timing information to account for an offset between its TSF timer and a TSF timer associated with the OBSS. In some other aspects, the AP may synchronize its TSF timer with the TSF timer associated with the OBSS. The AP may further communicate with the STAs based on the coordinated timing information. For example, the AP may schedule communications with the STAs to be orthogonal to communications in the OBSS during the SP.
