Abstract
Embodiments may comprise logic such as hardware and/or code to enable coexistence of high-density and low-density transmissions with a modified CSMA protocol. Embodiments include a self-CTS (self clear to send) packet transmission prior to transmission of a ready to send (RTS) signal when initiating a high density transmission amidst legacy devices. In many embodiments, the self-CTS or the RTS includes a network allocation vector (NAV) having a value for the duration of the transmission. In some embodiments, the self-CTS may include a flag or bit to indicate the Shading Transmission Starts (STS).
