Abstract:
A method for providing repeater communication in a wireless repeater deployed in a multi-repeater environment includes inserting a message signal into the transmit signal of the repeater. The message signal may be a unique or quasi-unique low power spreading sequence uniquely identifying the repeater from other repeaters in the environment. The message signal may also contain information relating to the operational characteristics of the repeater. The message signal may be detected by another repeater or by an end-user wireless communication device.
Abstract:
A wireless repeater includes a channel estimation block to estimate a feedback channel between the antennas of the repeater using frequency domain channel estimation. The repeater includes a pilot signal blanking circuit to blank out a selected number of samples of the pilot signal to improve the accuracy of the channel estimation. In another embodiment, the repeater replaces T samples of the pilot signal with a cyclic prefix.

Un aparato (110) para comunicación inalámbrica, que comprende: medios para transmitir (224a; 224ap) un mensaje de "libre para transmitir", CTX, (1000) a dos o más estaciones (120), indicando el mensaje CTX (1000) una oportunidad de transmisión de enlace ascendente, comprendiendo además el mensaje CTX (402) una solicitud para que las dos o más estaciones (120) transmitan simultáneamente (1000) datos de enlace ascendente en un momento específico (1048); donde el mensaje CTX comprende un campo de duración de unidad de datos de protocolo de protocolo de convergencia de capa física, PPDU, que indica una duración para la transmisión de los datos de enlace ascendente; y medios para recibir (224a; 224ap) una pluralidad de transmisiones de datos de enlace ascendente en el momento específico (1048) desde al menos dos estaciones de las dos o más estaciones (120).
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for managing reuse of a wireless medium are provided. One method of managing reuse of a wireless medium includes determining, at an access point, whether to allow reuse of the wireless medium by one or more stations in a basic service set (BSS). The method further includes transmitting, upon determining to allow reuse, an indication that reuse of the wireless medium can be permitted for stations meeting a criteria. The method further includes determining one or more reuse parameters. The method further includes transmitting the one or more reuse parameters. 1Ib /I, 1108 c IZ n/IC~c:>
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for multiple user uplink are provided. In one aspect, a method of wireless communication is provided. The method includes transmitting a quality of service (QoS) message to a device. The QoS message includes a request for a transmission opportunity for sending uplink data to the device. The QoS message includes at least one of a sequence control field or a QoS control field. The method further includes receiving a clear to transmit (CTX) message in response to the QoS message. The method further includes transmitting data to the device in response to the CTX message.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a first user terminal. The first user terminal receives, on a first DL communication channel of multiple DL communication channels, a DL MU PPDU includes MPDUs transmitted from an access point to multiple user terminals including the first user terminal on the multiple DL communication channels. The first user terminal obtains an UL channel indication and a BA indication. The first user terminal transmits, on a first UL communication channel of multiple UL communication channels, a first BA to the access point based on the UL channel indication and the BA indication simultaneously or concurrently with a BA transmission from the rest of the multiple user terminals to the access point on the rest of the multiple UL communication channels. The first BA acknowledges one or more of the MPDUs.

Abstract:
In some aspects, a method for configuring channel access parameters in a wireless communication system includes determining, at an access point, an enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) parameter for a first subset of stations of a plurality of stations, the first subset of stations capable of transmitting multi-user uplink transmissions. The method further includes generating an information element including the EDCA parameter. The method further includes transmitting the information element such that the information element is decodable by the first subset of stations and not by a second subset of stations of the plurality of stations.
