Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described for monitoring interference level to selectively control usage of a contention-based protocol. In an example, a wireless device may transmit, while operating in a non-contention-based mode for a wireless link with a second wireless device, a first beamformed data transmission to the second wireless device over a shared channel. The wireless device may determine that an interference level condition is satisfied for the shared channel and transition from operating in the non-contention-based mode to operating in a contention-based mode for the wireless link based at least in part on the interference level condition being satisfied. The wireless device may perform a contention-based protocol, while operating in the contention-based mode for the wireless link with the second wireless device, prior to transmission of a second beamformed data transmission to the second wireless device over the shared channel.

Claim (Index 30):
The apparatus of  claim 27 , wherein determining that the interference level condition is satisfied comprises instructions further executable by the processor to:\n monitor interference on the wireless link; and determine that a variation in a level of monitored interference over a time period satisfies a first threshold; or determine that a difference satisfies a second threshold, the difference calculated between a maximum observed value of the monitored interference and a minimum observed value of the monitored interference within a time period; or determine that a level of the monitored interference satisfies a bursty metric; or determine that a magnitude of a level of the monitored interference satisfies a third threshold; or any combination thereof.
