Appl. No.:

14/862985

Inventors:

- San Diego CA, US

International Classification:

H04W 24/10
H04L 12/26
H04W 72/00

Abstract:

In one aspect, a method performed by an access point in a wireless local area network (WLAN), includes receiving a first ranging request message from a first device and monitoring for a second ranging request message from a second device on a channel of the WLAN. The first ranging request message includes a device identifier of the first device and the second ranging request message includes a device identifier of the second device. In response to receiving the second ranging request message, the access point combines the device identifier of the first device, first timing information associated with the first ranging request message, the device identifier of the second device, and second timing information associated with the second ranging request message into a single ranging response message. The access point then broadcasts the single ranging response message on the channel of the WLAN.

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for full duplex communication on a wireless network are disclosed. In one aspect, one or more lists of non-effecting nodes are determined for one or more devices on the wireless network. A list of non-effecting nodes for a device identifies other network nodes or devices whose transmissions do not cause substantial interference with the device. When a full duplex communication is scheduled on the wireless network, a downlink message transmitted to the device may be performed concurrently with an uplink transmission from one of the non-effecting devices. This full duplex communication may be possible even if the device does not inherently support full-duplex communication on the wireless network.
