Abstract:
Systems and methods for wireless communications are disclosed. More particularly, aspects generally relate to an apparatus for wireless communications. The apparatus generally includes an interface for communicating with a plurality of wireless nodes via a plurality of antennas, and a processing system configured to determine a power state of each of the plurality of wireless nodes, and change from a first antenna mode used for communicating with the wireless nodes using a first number of spatial streams to a second antenna mode used for communicating with the wireless nodes using a second number of spatial streams, based on the determined power states of the wireless nodes.
Abstract:
At a communication device, a packet received via a communication media is processed. While the packet is being processed, power to at least one component in the communication device is reduced, in response to a condition associated with the processing of the packet being satisfied. Power to the at least one component is restored prior to receiving an entirety of the packet at the communication device.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for preferentially locating a candidate channel likely to have an active network during a WLAN scanning process of an increased bandwidth. The candidate channel may be detected using spectral analysis of a received signal that may involve any combination FFT captures and correlation operations associated with detecting packets. Upon identification of a candidate channel, a wireless communications device may switch to that channel to receive and process one or more packets to determine the existence of a BSS available for association.
Abstract:
An access point (AP) may prioritize the allocation of uplink resources between multiple basic service sets (BSSs). In some aspects, the AP may select one of a plurality of BSSs, may allocate one or more random-access resource units (RUs) to only the selected BSS, and may transmit, for each of the selected BSSs, a respective frame indicating the random-access RUs allocated to that BSS. Wireless devices belonging to the selected BSS may contend for access to the random-access RUs allocated by the frame, and then transmit uplink data using the random-access RUs.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may be communicating on a radio frequency spectrum band of a first radio access technology (RAT) using a set of antennas. The UE may determine, for at least one antenna of the set of antennas, that a demand requirement associated with the communications is below a threshold level and reconfigure, based at least in part on the demand requirement, the at least one antenna of the set of antennas to perform communications on the radio frequency spectrum band of a second RAT. Also, the UE may identify a time period associated with a rank mode modification schedule used for communications on a radio frequency spectrum band of a first RAT, identify a burst communication requirement on the radio frequency spectrum band of a second RAT, the burst communication requirement comprising a duration that is shorter than the time period associated with the rank mode modification schedule and reconfigure, based at least in part on the duration being shorter in time, at least one antenna of a set of antennas to perform burst communications during the duration on the radio frequency spectrum band of the second RAT.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for dynamically adapting channel access or transmission parameters based upon an identified channel access parameter or previously used transmission parameter are disclosed. In an aspect, an electronic device for communication over a wireless network is disclosed. The electronic device comprises a processor configured to generate a message that identifies one rule of a plurality of rules. Each of the plurality of rules defines a process for adapting a value of a communication parameter based on an identified channel access parameter. Also, each of the plurality of rules provides a particular quality of service and a particular priority for communication with the electronic device. The electronic device further comprises a transceiver configured to transmit the message to a station.
