Yes, I've read that part in the past. These are very good rules of thumb, but there are many inefficiencies to cope with. Note that not all wireless users are "rude" on purpose. It's just that if you want to keep in touch with your relatives in the nearby town, you use the minimal needed power

Minimizing power is rule #2 per Paul Banan. SOME KINDERGARTEN RULES (written in 1994) To take the fullest advantage of our new technology with its sharing of a common resource requires that our smart transmitters and receivers cooperate. This may sound complicated, but the rules to make

Hmm, not sure I understand the distinction. CTS per the AP informs those other transmitters to stay quiet per the CTS NAV. I may be misunderstanding things. Thanks for the continued discussions. It helps to better thoroughly understand the issues. Bob On Mon, Aug 27, 2018, 6:52 PM David

I thought that RTS/CTS would handle the case of hidden nodes, i.e. a device that fails to successfully transmit can resort to RTS/CTS to get the receiver to reserve time for it. Also, lack of a RX ack seems ok to trigger MAC level retransmits. It seems the LBT bug is the collision avoidance

Indeed - and conversely, there may be interference that the transmitter can hear clearly but which is irrelevant to the intended receiver. In that case, any form of LBT will be needlessly conservative. - Jonathan Morton ___ Bloat mailing list

Hi Jonathan, I think in 802.11ax the AP can schedule STAs to some extent so it looks like that technique is coming soon. It is a bw tradeoff per the RUs per user. Multi-User Uplink Operation To coordinate uplink MU-MIMO or uplink OFDMA transmissions the AP sends a trigger frame to all users.

Jonathan, Not that giant handwaving though. IEEE 802.11ax makes use of "almost TDM" RTS/CTS and scheduling. The almost is necessary as it operates in 2.4/5Ghz bands. Similar to what you describe, and is coming very soon in shipping products. RTS/CTS is still a LBT to create a window where TDM

hmm, "going back" to TDM, doesn't that lose the benefits and efficiencies per statistical multiplexing? How can a centralized device predict the many "end stations'" network demand in its time scheduling? Note: I think with 802.11ax this is happening to some extent per uplink OFDMA but that
