TECHNIQUES FOR TRANSMISSION PROTECTION FOR WIRELESS NETWORKS
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining at a wireless node whether the wireless node is exchanging transmissions with a plurality of wireless devices associated with a plurality of different signal types in a wireless network; and
sending from the wireless node an extended protection request to a first transmitting device to defer transmission of information for the wireless node for a requested deferral duration, whereinthe first transmitting device defers transmission of information for the wireless node during a deferral period corresponding to the requested deferral duration in response to the extended protection request.

Abstract
Various embodiments are disclosed relating to techniques for protecting transmissions in a wireless network. According to an example embodiment, it may be determined at a wireless node whether the wireless node is exchanging transmissions with a plurality of wireless devices associated with a plurality of different signal types in a wireless network. An extended protection request may be sent from the wireless node to a first transmitting device to defer transmission of information for the wireless node for a requested deferral duration. The first transmitting device may defer transmission of information for the wireless node during a deferral period corresponding to the requested deferral duration in response to the extended protection request.
