Abstract
In an example of wireless communications, a transmitting station may set multiple network allocation vectors (NAVs) to reserve a communication medium for transmitting a frame in the amount of time indicated by the NAVs. A receiving station that receives a frame may identify which NAV is intended to be set by the receiving station. The receiving station may update a first type of NAV with duration information from the frame when the frame is received from a same wireless network, and update a second type of NAV with duration information from the frame when the frame is received from a different wireless network. The receiving station may ignore setting the NAV when the frame is received from the different wireless network. Alternatively, the receiving station may not ignore setting the NAV when the frame is received from the same wireless network. Other methods, apparatus, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
