Abstract
Systems and methods for system for channel access adaptation are disclosed. One system includes a plurality of remote antennas and a plurality of access points. The remote antennas transmit data to receivers and obtain channel state information. Additionally, each access point controls a different cluster of the remote antennas and receives the respective channel state information from the remote antennas of the cluster. Further, each access point is configured to, independently from other access points, adapt channel allocations to the remote antennas of the respective cluster based on a tracking of sums of collision loss probabilities. Each given sum is determined by the access point for a different given set of a plurality of sets of cooperating remote antennas in the respective cluster, where each constituent collision loss probability in the given sum is determined by the access point from a different interference clique to which the given set belongs.
