Example Embodiment

[0035] As part of the examples developed in this article, some issues will first be identified and discussed.

[0036] As mentioned earlier, in WLAN, clear channel assessment (CCA) thresholds are specified to limit that WLAN nodes (such as access points (AP) or stations (STA)) will listen to the transmissions of other WLAN devices to avoid transmission conflicts (such as Avoid interference).

[0037] CCA should perform three tasks. The first is to avoid collisions, such as avoiding sending to nodes that are already sending or receiving data. The second is to ensure that an acceptable signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) is used to receive the expected transmission. The third is that the ongoing transmission should be protected.

[0038] From a performance point of view, using a threshold (e.g., a CCA threshold) based on, for example, received power is not optimal, because even if the transmission may be successful and is unlikely to interfere with other ongoing transmiss...

Abstract

A first node 402, 406 and a method therein for controlling transmission of a first signal. The first node is operating in a Basic Service Set (BSS) 402a comprised in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) 400. The first node detects a second signal transmitted from a second node 402, 404, 408, 410 operating in the WLAN 400. Further, the first node compares signal strength of the second signal with a threshold value for the second node, which threshold value is determined based on the node type of the second node. Furthermore the first node transmits the first signal when the signal strength of the second signal is below the threshold value, and defers from transmitting the first signal when the signal strength of the second signal is above the threshold value. Thereby the transmission of the first signal is controlled.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments herein relate generally to methods performed by a first node operating in a Basic Service Set (BSS) in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). In particular, it relates to controlling the sending of the first signal. Background technique [0002] The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standard specification defines the physical (PHY) layer and the media access control (MAC) layer of a wireless local area network (WLAN), see IEEE Information Technology Standards - Telecommunications and Information Exchange Between Systems, Local Area Networks and Metropolitan Area Networks - Specific Requirements, Part 11: Wireless LAN Media Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications. According to the Wi-Fi Alliance, Wi-Fi can be defined as any WLAN product based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standard. Therefore, in this article, the terms Wi-Fi and WLAN will be used int...
