Abstract
some aspects, a method for configuring channel access parameters in a wireless communication system includes determining, at an access point, an enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) parameter for a first subset of stations of a plurality of stations, the first subset of stations capable of transmitting multi-user uplink transmissions. The method further includes generating an information element including the EDCA parameter. The method further includes transmitting the information element such that the information element is decodable by the first subset of stations and not by a second subset of stations of the plurality of stations.
Claims (16)
1. A method for selecting channel access parameters for communication in a network, the method comprising: selecting, at a first wireless device, a first enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) parameter for communication with a first subset of wireless devices that do not have the capability to transmit multi-user uplink transmissions; selecting, at the first wireless device, a second EDCA parameter for communication with a second subset of wireless devices, wherein selecting the second EDCA parameter is based on: a capability of the first wireless device to receive scheduled uplink transmissions, and a capability of the second subset of wireless devices to transmit multi-user uplink transmissions; generating an EDCA parameter set information element including the second EDCA parameter; and transmitting the EDCA parameter set information element in a physical layer convergence procedure (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) that is only decodable by the second subset of wireless devices and not by the first subset of wireless devices.
2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: determining whether the selected second EDCA parameter satisfies a performance characteristic, and in response to determining that the selected second EDCA fails to satisfy the performance characteristic, selecting a third EDCA parameter.
3. The method of claim 2, wherein selecting the third EDCA parameter is based on a previous transmission from a second wireless device of the second subset of wireless devices to the first wireless device.
4. The method of claim 2, wherein selecting the third EDCA parameter is based on receiving an immediate response to the EDCA parameter set information element transmitted to the second subset of wireless devices.
5. The method of claim 2, wherein selecting the third EDCA parameter is based on failure to receive a response from a second wireless device of the second subset of wireless devices after transmitting the EDCA parameter set information element to the second subset of wireless devices a number of times.
6. The method of claim 1, wherein the EDCA parameter set information element comprises a variable length of bits, wherein the variable length of bits is based on at least one of a type of signal and a service provider.
7. The method of claim 1, wherein selecting the second EDCA parameter further comprises selecting the second EDCA parameter based on a type of the second subset of wireless devices.
8. The method of claim 1, wherein the first and second EDCA parameters comprise at least one of a minimum contention window (CWmin), a maximum contention window (CWmax), a transmit opportunity (TXOP), a transmission opportunity limit (TXOP limit), and an arbitration inter frame space (AIFS).
9. The method of claim 1, wherein the first wireless device appends one or more rules for communicating with the first wireless device to the second EDCA parameter.
10. The method of claim 1, wherein the EDCA parameter set information element includes at least one of an element identification field, a length field and an EDCA parameter field.
11. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising: means for selecting, at a first wireless device, a first enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) parameter for communication with a first subset of wireless devices that do not have the capability to transmit multi-user uplink transmissions; means for selecting, at the first wireless device, a second EDCA parameter for communication with a second subset of wireless devices, wherein selecting the EDCA parameter is based on: a capability of the first wireless device to receive scheduled uplink transmissions uplink transmissions, and a capability of the second subset of wireless devices to transmit multi-user uplink transmissions; means for generating an EDCA parameter set information element including the second EDCA parameter; and means for transmitting the EDCA parameter set information element in a physical layer convergence procedure (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) that is only decodable by the second subset of wireless devices and not by the first subset of wireless devices.
12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein means for selecting the second EDCA parameter further comprises selecting the second EDCA parameter based on a type of the second subset of wireless devices.
13. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the first and second EDCA parameters comprise at least one of a minimum contention window (CWmin), a maximum contention window (CWmax), a transmit opportunity (TXOP), a transmission opportunity limit (TXOP limit), and an arbitration inter frame space (AIFS).
14. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the first wireless device appends one or more rules for communicating with the first wireless device to the second EDCA parameter.
