  • Publication number: 20230224963
    Abstract: Various techniques pertaining to a special dual clear-to-send (CTS) mode for improvement in collision avoidance in wireless communications are described. A first station (STA) transmits a request-to-send (RTS) and, in response, receives a first CTS from a second STA. The first STA waits to receive a second CTS from the second STA before transmitting data to the second STA responsive to the first CTS being of a first type and the second CTS being of a second type different from the first type. The first STA then transmits the data to the second STA upon passage of a waiting period.
