Abstract
Methods and devices for dynamic sensitivity control (DSC) in wireless networks are provided by adapting a clear channel assessment threshold (CCAT) on a frame-by-frame basis, based on a destination of a head-of-line (HoL) frame in a medium access control (MAC) layer transmission queue. Two different ways of protecting the communication range among devices in a basic serving set (BSS) are disclosed. In the first way, frames received from a node's BSS are differentiated, at the MAC layer, from frames received from an overlapping BSS (OBSS), and different CCATs are used for frames received from the node's BSS versus frames received from OBSS(s). In the second way, a lower bound on the CCAT value is defined based on the average received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of frames previously received from the node's BSS, and the CCAT is periodically reset to its minimum value.
