Embodiment Construction

[0017] Traditional wireless networks may use the Common Control (CCC) protocol for Media Access Control. The CCC protocol is a MAC protocol that extends the IEEE 802.11 distributed MAC protocol to enable the use of multiple channels within a BSS or mesh network. The CCC protocol defines a flexible channel access architecture based on media access based on distributed priority contention. The CCC protocol distinguishes between two logical channel functions - Control Channel (CC) and Data Channel (DC). In the following description, a station or mesh point following the CCC MAC protocol is called a "node". Nodes exchange control and management frames on the control channel. The data channel carries data traffic.

[0018] Reservations for transmissions on the respective data channels are made by exchanging control frames on the control channels. As an extension of inherited RTS and CTS messages, CC-RTS and CC-CTS are used to make the data channel reserve the time used for send...

Abstract

A method, device and computer program product for avoiding exposed nodes in a wireless local area network are presented. The method comprises maintaining at a node a first timer (NAV_RTS) of a channel which, if set, prevents the node from authorizing itself to transmit on the channel ; maintaining at the node a second timer (NAV_CTS) for the channel that, if set, prevents the node from transmitting on the channel. The method also includes updating the NAV_RTS when receiving a transmission request (CC-RTS) frame having a reservation duration value greater than zero and greater than the current value of the NAV_RTS; The NAV_CTS is updated when the transmission response (CC-CTS) frame of the reserved duration value of the current value of the NAV_CTS is received.

Description

Background technique [0001] Wireless local area networks (WLANs) have become ubiquitous. Typically, for wireless communications in a WLAN a single channel is used, and in other communications the WLAN is accessed through a distributed MAC protocol. [IEEE 802.11 Standard] A WLAN may include multiple channels and multiple radios. A method of providing both multiple channels and multiple radio capabilities is presented in co-pending patent application entitled "A Protocol For Wireless Multi-Channel Access Control," Attorney Docket No. AVA06-01, filed March 29, 2006 , the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference, describes the CCC (Common Control Channel) MAC protocol. CCC uses two types of logical channels - control channels and data channels. [0002] In a wireless local area network (LAN), while using an asynchronous distributed random channel access method, a wireless channel can be reserved for frame sequence transmission. In such an environment, both the s...
