Abstract:
1. A wireless transmitter for congested traffic wireless environments, the wireless transmitter having: a list of stations associated with a particular Basic Service Set IDentifier (BSSID), each station in said list of stations having an associated Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) indicating the strength of a received signal from a respective station; an RSSI threshold value computed from an observation period during which a BSSID entry or station entry is placed in a table with an associated RSSI value, each entry also indicating whether it is in said list of stations, said RSSI threshold value computed to be a value less than the weakest RSSI for a station or access point in said list of stations associated with said particular BSSID; the wireless transmitter sending a packet if a signal energy from a measured RSSI is below said RSSI threshold, and not sending a packet if the signal energy from a measured RSSI is above said RSSI threshold.
