METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISTRIBUTED SCHEDULING IN WIRELESS MESH NETWORK BASED ON OFDMA

摘要

A method and apparatus for distributed scheduling within an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA)-based wireless mesh network may be provided. A requester and a granter in the wireless mesh network may perform three way-handshaking using distributed scheduling messages. A plurality of distributed scheduling messages may use different sub-channels. The request may reserve sub-channels to be used by respective scheduling messages.
