Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: receiving, by a wireless relay device, over a second network from an access point, an allocation of a first time window and transmit power restrictions for transmit power control of the wireless relay device and one or more wireless stations in a first network overlapping the second network, for exchanging over the first network with the one or more wireless stations, first packets having a first maximum transmit power for packet transmissions during the first time window; and determining, by the wireless relay device, a second time window allocated for transmissions by the wireless relay device to the access point of second packets in the second network, wherein the second time window is allowed for exchanging with the one or more wireless stations, of the first packets in the first network, which overlap transmissions of the second packets in the second network, wherein the first packets are transmitted in the first network during the second time window, but only with second maximum transmit power during the second time window, indicated in the transmit power restrictions, that is lower than the first maximum transmit power for first packets transmitted during the first time window, so that interference by the transmissions of the first packets in the first network during the second time window, will be minimized with respect to transmissions of the second packets in the second network during the second time window.
