Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A first device may receive a channel reservation request from a second device, over a shared or unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band, the channel reservation request including a first expected response time duration to receive a channel reservation response in response to the channel reservation request. The first wireless device may transmit a channel reservation response in response, and receive a directional transmission according to the channel reservation request. The second device may transmit a directional channel reservation request on a transmit beam, the directional channel reservation request including a first expected response time duration to receive a channel reservation response the first device in response to the directional channel reservation request. The second device may receive the channel reservation response during the first expected response time duration and transmit a directional transmission according to the directional channel reservation request.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure may compensate for cyclic shift delays (CSD) in transmitted signals when estimating angle of arrival information of a wireless signal transmitted by a transmitting device. In some aspects, a receiving device may determine a presence of CSD in the wireless signal, and estimate an angle of arrival of the wireless signal based at least in part on the presence of CSD. For example, the receiving device may determine a first tap of the wireless channel based at least in part on the CSD. The receiving device may then determine a phase difference of the wireless signal between a plurality of antennas of the receiving device based on the first tap of the wireless channel. The receiving device may estimate the angle of arrival of the wireless signal based on the phase difference.
Abstract:
Described herein are implementations for using a remote control device to control a target device on a network via a remote control proxy device. A remote control device may determine an IoT device capable of functioning as a remote control proxy device. The remote control device may generate a data packet comprising a command for controlling the target device and a network address associated with the target device, and transmit the data packet to the IoT device. If the IoT device determines, using the network address, that it is not the target device, the IoT device may either unicast the data packet to the target device or multicast the data packet to multiple intermediate IoT devices on the network.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for using a shortened block acknowledgement (BlockAck) frame capable of acknowledging fragments. Such a shortened BlockAck frame may include a bitmap field having a shorter length than that of a basic BlockAck frame in the IEEE 802.11 standard (i.e.,
