Abstract
A method and apparatus are directed toward optimizing clear channel assessment (CCA) parameters in wireless communications. A CCA parameter request is received from an optimizing station. A current CCA parameter is read and transmitted to the optimizing station. A notification is received from the optimizing station of an optimized CCA parameter to be used by the optimizing station.
