Abstract

See full text

Methods, systems, and devices are described for efficient use of transmit opportunities (TXOPs) through adjustment of contention window backoff time values to compensate for one or more TXOPs that may exceed a TXOP limit. A contention window value may be increased, for example, to provide other devices in the network with a fair opportunity for network access based at least in part on one or more TXOPs that exceed the TXOP limit. Allowing one or more transmissions to exceed a TXOP limit may provide enhanced efficiency as compared to having multiple transmissions.
