CPC H04W 74/06 (2013.01) [H04L 5/0055 (2013.01); H04W 74/0816 (2013.01); H04W 88/08 (2013.01)] | 20 Claims |
1. A device, comprising:
a memory storing instructions; and
a processor coupled to a Wi-Fi transceiver, the Wi-Fi transceiver configured to communicate via a Wi-Fi channel, the processor configured to execute the instructions stored in the memory to:
obtain a first contention-free access period on the Wi-Fi channel;
set at least one parameter of a Wi-Fi transmitter of the Wi-Fi transceiver to a first setting;
send a first probe packet to a receiving Wi-Fi device during the first contention-free access period using the Wi-Fi transmitter based on the first setting;
wait for a first reply period to determine a result responsive to the first probe packet;
set the at least one parameter of the Wi-Fi transmitter from the first setting to a second setting based on the result of the first reply period;
send a second probe packet to the receiving Wi-Fi device during the first contention-free access period using the Wi-Fi transmitter based on the second setting;
wait for a second reply period to determine a result responsive to the second probe packet; and
set the at least one parameter of the Wi-Fi transmitter to a data packet setting based at least on the result of the second reply period.

11. A method comprising: obtaining in a probing Wi-Fi device a first contention-free access period on a Wi-Fi channel;
setting at least one parameter of a Wi-Fi transmitter of the probing Wi-Fi device to a first setting;
sending by the probing Wi-Fi device a first probe packet to a receiving Wi-Fi device during the first contention-free access period using the Wi-Fi transmitter based on the first setting;
waiting for a first reply period to determine a result responsive to the first probe packet; setting the at least one parameter of the Wi-Fi transmitter from the first setting to a second setting;
sending by the probing Wi-Fi device a second probe packet to the receiving Wi-Fi device during the first contention-free access period using the Wi-Fi transmitter based on the second setting;
waiting for a second reply period to determine a result responsive to the second probe packet; and setting the at least one parameter of the Wi-Fi transmitter to a data packet setting based at least on the result of the second reply period.
