Abstract
The present disclosure describes a network that uses dual NAVs. An apparatus includes one or more memories and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the one or more memories. A combination of the one or more processors generates a message that includes (i) a first NAV indicating a first time period and (ii) a second NAV indicating a second time period and transmits the message. The first NAV indicates to a first access point assigned to an overlapping basic service set to defer transmissions during the first time period. The second NAV indicates to a second access point assigned to a MAPC group that transmissions are allowed during the second time period.
