摘要:
This document discloses a solution for preparing for a connection establishment in a wireless network. According to an aspect, transmission of a request message from the wireless apparatus is carried out on a channel. Thereafter, a response message is acquired on said channel as a response to the request message, the response message being originated from a second wireless apparatus which is in an unassociated state with said wireless apparatus, and the response message comprising information on at least two wireless networks operating on at least one of said channel and another channel. Then, the received response message may be utilized in the connection establishment.

There is provided a method comprising: causing a station capable of communication in a wireless network to acquire knowledge of a medium usage indicator with respect to at least one channel applicable for transmission of a scanning request; and determining a transmission time for a next scanning request at least partly based on the medium usage indicator.
摘要:
Methods, apparatuses, and a computer program are presented for utilizing, by a wireless communication apparatus of a first network, a proxy apparatus of a second network, wherein the channels of the two networks overlap. The proxy apparatus is used to reserve the overlapping channels also in the second network so as to protect data transmissions in the first network and to avoid collisions.

摘要:
A method, apparatus, and computer program for monitoring messages transmitted in a wireless network are disclosed. On the basis of the monitoring, it is determined that a transmission rate of messages is not sufficient upon detecting no message within a minimum transmission time interval and, upon determining that the transmission rate of messages is not sufficient, an access point of the wireless network is caused to transmit a scanning message.
摘要:
Methods, apparatuses, and a computer program are presented for determining a reservation period for data transmission in a wireless communication network. The duration of the reservation period is determined on the basis of RTS/CTS handshake between a transmitter and a receiver apparatus.
摘要:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program are presented for carrying out channel reservations in a wireless communication system. A communication apparatus initiates a preliminary channel reservation procedure initiating related to a spatial multiplexing group transmission. The communication apparatus is caused to transmit during the preliminary channel reservation procedure a reservation request message announcing a preliminary group reservation on the channel. Upon completed preliminary channel reservation procedure, the communication apparatus is caused to utilize the preliminary group reservation by causing transmission of a frame on the reserved channel according to the spatially multiplexed wireless communication.
