description

An attractive approach to overcome capacity limitations in a densely deployed WLAN environment is to enable transmission concurrency. In this paper, we propose a co-channel concurrent transmission scheme, referred to as C2SMA/CA, which determines whether to allow multiple concurrent transmissions based on interference estimation using positional information. A distributed multi-link concurrency scheduling algorithm is implemented, and its performance is evaluated through extensive simulations.
