Abstract
A first device determines a maximum allowable interference, and transmits a packet including an indicator of the maximum allowable interference. The maximum allowable interference corresponds to an amount of interference that can be present at the first device without preventing proper reception, by the first device, of packets from a second device, or to an amount of interference that can be present at the first device without resulting in a reduction in a Modulation and Coding Scheme of communications between the first and second device. A secondary transmitting device receives an indication of a maximum allowable interference, determines a maximum transmission power according to the maximum allowable interference, and transmits packets during a NAV protection period at a transmission power less than or equal to the maximum transmission power, when the NAV protection period does not reserve the medium the secondary transmitting device.
