First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method performed by a first station in a local network, the method comprising:
- receiving a first transmission over a communication medium;
generating a first reuse determination based, at least in part, on received signal strength information regarding the first transmission, the first reuse determination indicating whether to reuse the communication medium with other stations; and
receiving at least one other reuse determination from a neighbor station in a neighbor network different than the local network, wherein the first reuse determination is coordinated with the at least one other reuse determination to coordinate reuse of the communication medium with the other stations.

Abstract
Dynamic channel reuse in multi-access communication systems. A first station in a communication network may receive a transmission over a communication medium. The first station may generate a reuse determination based on information from the received transmission. The reuse determination may be usable with at least one other reuse determination to coordinate reuse of the communication medium.

1. A method performed by a first station in a local network, the method comprising:
-
receiving a first transmission over a communication medium; generating a first reuse determination based, at least in part, on received signal strength information regarding the first transmission, the first reuse determination indicating whether to reuse the communication medium with other stations; and receiving at least one other reuse determination from a neighbor station in a neighbor network different than the local network, wherein the first reuse determination is coordinated with the at least one other reuse determination to coordinate reuse of the communication medium with the other stations. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 24)

22. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program instructions, wherein the program instructions are computer-executable to cause a first station in a local network to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving a first transmission over a communication medium; generating a first reuse determination based, at least in part, on received signal strength information regarding the first transmission, the first reuse determination indicating whether to reuse the communication medium with other stations; and receiving at least one other reuse determination from a neighbor station in a neighbor network different than the local network, wherein the first reuse determination is coordinated with the at least one other reuse determination to coordinate reuse of the communication medium with the other stations.

23. A system, comprising:
a first station in a local network configured to; receive a first transmission over a communication medium; generate a first reuse determination based, at least in part, on received signal strength information regarding the first transmission, the first reuse determination indicating whether to reuse the communication medium with other stations; and receive at least one other reuse determination from a neighbor station in a neighbor network different than the local network, wherein the first reuse determination is coordinated with the at least one other reuse determination to coordinate reuse of the communication medium with the other stations.
