TECHNIQUES FOR RECEIVER BEAMFORMING AND ABANDONMENT THRESHOLD ADJUSTMENTS IN PEER-TO-PEER NETWORKS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To mitigate interference between a plurality of peer-to-peer devices.;SOLUTION: Transmission abandonment and/or reception abandonment may be performed among devices operating in a peer-to-peer network. A transmitter device will abandon communications on a time slot to a higher priority transmitter device if it will cause unacceptable interference to a higher priority receiver device. Likewise, a receiver device may abandon a use of the time slot if interference is unacceptably high. Both transmitter and receiver abandonment may be improved by use of beamforming at the receiver device. By utilizing beamforming information to make the transmitter and/or receiver abandonment decisions, better interference mitigation may be achieved.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT
