ACCESS POINT RESOURCE NEGOTIATION AND ALLOCATION OVER WIRELESS INTERFACE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methodologies that facilitate communicating between access points using the same air interface as that for serving wireless devices.SOLUTION: Access points can communicate with one another over the air interface to exchange interference management messages related to negotiating and/or allocating resources among the access points or other messages. In addition, access points can prepare served wireless devices for time periods in which the access points communicate with disparate access points over the air interface to mitigate confusion or radio link failure detection by the served wireless devices.
