Abstract
A wireless communication device (alternatively, device) includes a processing circuitry configured to support communications with other wireless communication device(s) and to generate and process signals for such communications. In some examples, the device includes a communication interface and a processing circuitry, among other possible circuitries, components, elements, etc. to support communications with other wireless communication device(s) and to generate and process signals for such communications. A device receives a request to send (RTS) from another device and replies with a clear to send (CTS) when the RTS includes a non-zero-valued network allocation vector (NAV) if one or more conditions make such a response permissible. The device processes other parameter(s) associated with other communications between other devices to determine if a CTS response is permissible even during the other communications between the other devices. If comparison of the other parameter(s) is/are favorably to certain condition(s), the device transmits the CTS.
