Abstract: A station or access point has a list of associated stations including a BSSID. During an observation period, measurements of RSSI are made for each BSSID, including a maximum RSSI and a minimum RSSI. After the observation interval, an RSSI_threshold is computed which is below the weakest RSSI of a station which is on the list of associated stations, and also above the weakest RSSI of a station which is not on the list of associated stations. During packet reception, packet acquisition starts when the receiver signal level is detected to be above the RSSI_threshold. During packet transmission, a clear channel assessment (CCA), which ordinarily prevents transmission when signal energy is detected, is overridden if the measured RSSI is below the RSSI_threshold value, enabling earlier transmission of the packet than if the transmitter were to wait for CCA to be asserted.
