Abstract

A method and apparatus for adaptive network allocation are described herein. In some embodiments, a node may receive a request-to-send (RTS) packet that includes duration information and a basic service set identifier (BSSID). The network node may update a network allocation vector based at least in part on a received signal strength of the RTS packet and the BSSID. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
