Abstract:
1. A method of increasing system throughput in an unlicensed spectrum comprising: receiving a service set identifier (SSID) broadcast; estimating an actual channel gain between a first mobile device and a second mobile device based on the SSID broadcast; transmitting from the first mobile device to the second mobile device a first request to send (RTS) signal having a first transmit data power level based on the actual channel gain between the first mobile device and the second mobile device; receiving, at the first mobile device, a first clear to send (CTS) signal from the second mobile device; and transmitting data at the first transmit data power level from the first mobile device to the second mobile device, wherein the actual channel gain is inversely proportional to a distance between the first mobile device and the second mobile device.
