DISTRIBUTED RESOURCE UNITS IN COORDINATED ORTHOGONAL FREQUENCY-DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESS

Abstract: distributed resource units (drus) in coordinated orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (c-ofdma) may be provided. using c-ofma with drus can include determining to use with drus for a transmit opportunity (txop). neighbor access point (ap) traffic information is requested from a neighbor ap, and the neighbor ap traffic information is received from the neighbor ap. a dru assignment for the neighbor ap is determined based on the neighbor ap traffic information, and the dru assignment is sent to the neighbor ap. traffic is exchanged with one or more stations (stas) using c-ofdma with drus during the txop, wherein the neighbor ap is operable to exchange neighbor ap traffic with one or more additional stas during the txop using c-ofdma with drus based on the dru assignment.
