Abstract

A client device includes a processor and an antenna. The client device obtains an announcement that specifies a winning client of a channel contention competition; identifies a group association of the client device using an identity of the winning client; transmits a preamble modulated by an entry of a preamble interference nullification matrix, the entry is based on the group association; and transmits, after transmitting the preamble, a data transmission. The preamble is transmitted at the same time as a second preamble is transmitted by a second client device.
