SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PEER-TO-PEER AND AP TRAFFIC MULTIPLEXING
First Claim
1. A method for coordinating transmissions between devices, comprising:
- receiving, from a first device, a peer request to send message requesting a first time for transmissions with a second device;
reserving the first time for transmissions between the first device and the second device;
transmitting a coordination message to the first device and the second device, the coordination message indicating that the first time is reserved for transmissions between the first device and the second device; and
transmitting a first data packet to a third device during a time other than the first time, the first device transmitting a second data packet to the second device during the first time.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices for concurrently allowing station-to-station transmissions and access point-to-station transmissions are described herein. In some aspects, a method comprises receiving, from a first device, a peer request to send message requesting a first time for transmissions with a second device. The method further comprises reserving the first time for transmissions between the first device and the second device. The method further comprises transmitting a coordination message to the first device and the second device. The coordination message may indicate that the first time is reserved for transmissions between the first device and the second device. The method further comprises transmitting a first data packet to a third device during a time other than the first time. The first device may transmit a second data packet to the second device during the first time.

9. An apparatus for coordinating transmissions between devices, comprising:
-
means for receiving, from a first device, a peer request to send message requesting a first time for transmissions with a second device; means for reserving the first time for transmissions between the first device and the second device; means for transmitting a coordination message to the first device and the second device, the coordination message indicating that the first time is reserved for transmissions between the first device and the second device; and means for transmitting a first data packet to a third device during a time other than the first time, the first device transmitting a second data packet to the second device during the first time. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code that, when executed, causes an apparatus to:
-
receive, from a first device, a peer request to send message requesting a first time for transmissions with a second device; reserve the first time for transmissions between the first device and the second device; transmit a coordination message to the first device and the second device, the coordination message indicating that the first time is reserved for transmissions between the first device and the second device; and transmit a first data packet to a third device during a time other than the first time, the first device transmitting a second data packet to the second device during the first time. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. An apparatus for coordinating transmissions between devices, comprising:
-
a receiver configured to receive, from a first device, a peer request to send message requesting a first time for transmissions with a second device; a transmit control unit configured to reserve a first time for transmissions between the first device and the second device; and a transmitter configured to transmit a coordination message to the first device and the second device, the coordination message indicating that the first time is reserved for transmissions between the first device and the second device, the transmitter further configured to transmit a first data packet to a third device during a time other than the first time, the first device transmitting a second data packet to the second device during the first time. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
