1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a receiver to receive information indicative of at least a portion of an interfering signal received by a first wireless communication device, the interfering signal being transmitted by a second wireless communication device;
a controller to determine an identity of the second wireless communication device by decoding the received portion of the interfering signal using at least one protocol used to encode the interfering signal; and
a transmitter to provide at least one back-off instruction destined for the second wireless communication device using the identity of the second wireless communication device.
