Abstract:
1. A mobile station comprising: processing logic operable to mitigate interference between a first wireless access point (AP) of a plurality of access points (APs) and at least a second wireless AP of the plurality of APs; processing logic operable to determine a first set of radio resources claimed for assignment by the first AP; processing logic operable to determine a second set of radio resources claimed for assignment by the second AP, a first set of resources claimed for assignment by a wireless AP for use in a first transmit power zone (TPZ) corresponding to a first transmit power level (TPL), and a second set of resources claimed for assignment by the wireless AP for use in a second TPZ corresponding to a second TPL; and processing logic operable to communicate interference mitigation data associated with the first and second sets of radio resources to the first wireless AP such that interference is mitigated, wherein the mobile station is operable to respectively determine claims for the first and second set of resources when the mobile station is located within the first and second TPZs, and wherein the mobile station receives from the first wireless AP resource preference information prioritizing the first TPZ and the second TPZ based on the first and second TPLs, respectively, such that the mobile station mitigates interference between the first and second wireless APs by selecting one of the first set of resources claimed or the second set of resources claimed based on the prioritizing the first TPZ and the second TPZ.
