Method and apparatus for controlling startup of request to send/clear to send mechanism
First Claim
1. A method for controlling startup of a request to send/clear to send (RTS/CTS) mechanism, comprising:
- obtaining, with a processor, a noisy level of a channel based on the number of first data received by a first terminal in a first period, where the first terminal is a station (STA) or an access point (AP) in a wireless network, and the first data comprise aggregation frames or non-aggregation frames; and
if the noisy level of the channel is greater than or equal to a noisy level threshold, controlling, with the processor, the first terminal to start up the RTS/CTS mechanism when the first terminal transmits data in a second period, and transmitting data using the RTS/CTS mechanism in the second period, where the second period is following and adjacent to the first period along a time axis.

Abstract
Method and apparatus for controlling startup of RTS/CTS mechanism is provided. The method includes: obtaining a noisy level of a channel based on the number of first data received by a first terminal in a first period, where the first terminal is a STA or an AP in a wireless network, and the first data include aggregation frames or non-aggregation frames; and if the noisy level is greater than or equal to a noisy level threshold, controlling the first terminal to start up the RTS/CTS mechanism when data is transmitted in a second period which is following and adjacent to the first period along a time axis. The noisy level of the channel may be obtained in real time, and the RTS/CTS mechanism may be controlled to be started up reasonably in real time, so that channel resources is utilized sufficiently, and a throughput rate is improved.
