Claim Text:
1. A method that supports scheduling for spatial reuse, comprising: receiving, by a first terminal in a network, first scheduling information requesting at least one terminal in the network to perform channel measurement for spatial reuse from a control station; measuring, by the first terminal, a channel based on the first scheduling information, and transmitting channel measurement information for spatial reuse to the control station; and receiving, by the first terminal from the control station, second scheduling information allocating an overlapping resource to a terminal pair and a second terminal in the network other than the first terminal, wherein the first terminal and the second terminal do not interfere with each other, wherein the overlapping resource includes a time period allocated to both the first terminal and the second terminal, wherein the terminal pair includes the first terminal and a third terminal scheduled to communicate with the first terminal using the overlapping resource, wherein the third terminal is a terminal other than the second terminal, and wherein the second scheduling information includes a prohibition on transmitting, using the overlapping resource, one or both of an ACK message and a BlockACK message.
