First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a wireless transmitter; and
a module to broadcast a clear channel assessment (CCA) threshold using the wireless transmitter, wherein the CCA threshold is to specify a minimum amount of incoming energy for a wireless communication channel to be considered as not available for communication.

7. A method comprising:
-
listening, by a first wireless node, for a broadcast of a clear channel assessment (CCA) threshold of a second wireless node, wherein the CCA threshold specifies a minimum amount of incoming energy for a wireless communication channel to be considered as not available for communication; and coordinating a CCA threshold of the first wireless node with the broadcast CCA threshold of the second wireless node. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system comprising:
-
a wireless receiver; a display device to display data related to the wireless receiver; and a module to coordinate a clear channel assessment (CCA) threshold with another CCA threshold specified in a broadcast of an action frame received via the wireless receiver, wherein the CCA thresholds specify a minimum amount of incoming energy for a wireless communication channel to be considered as not available for communication. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
