Original Abstract Submitted
This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for multi-hop support for coordinated medium access. Some aspects more specifically relate to one or more mechanisms according to which an access point (AP) may indicate how many hops a medium access schedule is to be re-announced throughout a wireless network. In some examples, a first AP may select a medium access schedule and may transmit timing information indicative of communication periods associated with the medium access schedule and a value associated with a multi-hop propagation of the timing information. A second AP may receive the timing information and the value and may selectively transmit the timing information in accordance with the value. For example, if the value is indicative of greater than or equal to a threshold hop count value, the second AP may propagate the timing information associated with the communication periods of the first AP.
