DISTRIBUTED SCHEDULING PROTOCOL WITH DIRECTIONAL TRANSMISSION KNOWLEDGE

摘要

A wireless communication apparatus / system / method utilizing directional data transmission over a communication (e.g., mmW) band and a distributed scheduling protocol toward improving spectrum sharing and interference mitigation with other stations and BSSs that are also using the distributed schedule protocol. Transmitting directional transmission information containing sector directions and channel use time within beacons or messages being sent, such as EDMG beacons. Receiving and processing directional transmission information from other stations, and allocating channels and scheduling future transmissions based on the processed directional transmission information.
