Patent attributes
A first station is configured to perform a method and system to transmit frames to a second station where the first station is associated with a first basic service set (BSS) and the method manages interference of the transmission amongst overlapping basic service sets (OBSSs). The first station detects a received frame on a wireless medium. The first station determines whether the received frame is from a second station, which is associated with a second BSS. The first station determines a received signal strength of the received frame. The first station determines that the received signal strength is below a first OBSS preamble detection level, where the first OBSS preamble detection level is associated with a first transmission power. The first station then sets the first transmission power as a maximum transmission power used by the first station for all frame transmissions during a time period.
