Hybrid coordination function (HCF) access through tiered contention and overlapped wireless cell mitigation

摘要: A method and system reduce interference between overlapping first second wireless LAN cells in a medium. Each cell includes respective plurality of member stations there is at least one overlapped station occupying both cells. An inter-cell contention-free period value assigned to access point the cell, associated with an accessing order medium for The transmits beacon packet containing value, which intercepted station. forwards cell. can then delay transmissions by until after expires.
