Abstract:
A first Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) node and a method therein for performing a transmission to a second WLAN node in a WLAN. The first WLAN node identifies a third WLAN node transmitting a first signal (S 1 ) overheard by the first WLAN node, and determines to transmit, to the second WLAN node, a second signal (S 2 ) based on the identity of the third WLAN node and on a received power of the first signal. When determined to transmit the second signal, the first WLAN node determines a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) index value by means of a link adaptation process specific for the identified third WLAN node and transmits to the second WLAN node, the second signal using the determined MCS index.

Claim (Index 62):
A method performed by a second Wireless Local Area Network, WLAN, node for assisting a first WLAN node comprised in a WLAN to perform a transmission to the second WLAN node, wherein the first WLAN node has overheard a first first signal (S 1 1 ) transmitted by a third WLAN node, and wherein the method comprises:\n receiving, from the first WLAN node, a first second signal (S 2 1 ) transmitted using a Modulation and Coding Scheme, MCS, index value determined by means of a link adaptation process specific for the third WLAN node, transmitting, to the first WLAN node, an acknowledgement of receipt of the first second signal (S 2 1 ), and transmitting, to the first WLAN node, information relating to a recommended MCS index to be used when the first WLAN node overhears a second first signal (S 1 2 ) from the third WLAN node and is to transmit a second second signal (S 2 2 ) to the second WLAN node.
