Abstract:
A client station (STA), when operating in a wireless network, receives data sent by an access point (AP) on a first channel comprising at least one subchannel. During reception of the data on the first channel, the STA monitors channel availability of an additional set of one or more subchannels. In response to a detected availability of at least one newly-available subchannel, the STA sends at least one notification to the AP identifying STA-side availability of the newly-available subchannel(s). The STA subsequently receives data from the AP on the newly-available subchannel(s), which is sent in response to the at least one notification. The AP, when communicating data to the STA, receives the at least one notification from the STA and, in response thereto, initiates data transmission on one or more of the newly-available channel(s).
Abstract:
Certain embodiments herein relate to scheduling interference between wireless devices in a manner that reduced interference associated with full duplex communication. Signal strength and interference information associated with communication between wireless devices may be collected and forwarded to a processing device, such as a central controller. The central controller may utilize such information to generate a conflict graph that depicts interference relationships between the wireless devices. Using the conflict graph, the central controller may determine whether requested communications may be scheduled along with concurrently scheduled communications without resulting in interference affecting the communications. In one embodiment, a requested communication may be scheduled with other concurrently scheduled communications if the aggregated throughput is increased with the addition of the requested communication.
