Abstract:
A wireless device may selectively add padding to an end of a data transmission in order to provide adequate time for a receiving device to process the transmitted data and transmit feedback related to the transmitted data. A wireless device may identify a total amount of data capable of being transmitted in a transmission, and determine a number of data bits to be transmitted in the transmission. An amount of padding may be selected based on a proportion of the total amount of data capable of being transmitted and the number of data bits. In some examples, a preamble for a feedback transmission may be transmitted concurrently with processing of the received transmission.
Abstract:
RESUMEN Se describe un dispositivo inalámbrico que puede añadir selectivamente relleno al final de una transmisión de datos a fin de proporcionar un tiempo adecuado para que un dispositivo de recepción procese los datos transmitidos y transmita una retroalimentación relacionada con los datos transmitidos. Un dispositivo inalámbrico puede identificar una cantidad total de datos capaces de ser transmitidos en una transmisión, y determinar un número de bits de datos a transmitirse en la transmisión. Una cantidad de relleno puede seleccionarse con base en una proporción de la cantidad total de datos capaces de ser transmitidos y el número de bits de datos. En algunos ejemplos, puede transmitirse un preámbulo para una transmisión de retroalimentación simultáneamente con el procesamiento de la transmisión recibida.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for enabling an immediate response. In this manner, issues can be avoided where data carried by the last symbol of a frame cannot be entirely decoded by a receiver within a deadline for generating an immediate response. One example method for wireless communications by a first apparatus generally includes determining at least one constraint for communicating with a second apparatus; generating a frame that solicits a response; and outputting the frame for transmission to the second apparatus, wherein at least a last symbol of the frame is transmitted in a manner determined by the constraint to allow the second apparatus to transmit the response within a determined period.
Abstract:
A ranging operation between a first wireless device D1 and a second wireless D2 is performed by: sending (504), to the second wireless device, a data frame including a request for the second wireless device to report its actual SIFS duration to the first wireless device; determining (505) a time of departure (TOD) of the data frame; receiving (516), from the second wireless device, a response frame including SIFS information indicative of the actual SIFS duration of the second wireless device; determining (518) a time of arrival (TOA) of the response frame; and determining (522) a round trip time (RTT) of the data frame and the response frame using the TOD of the data frame, the TOA of the response frame, and the actual SIFS duration of the second wireless device. 501). Device D2 determines (508) the TOA of the received frame by capturing a time stamp, creates a response frame and determines (510) the TOD of the response frame, determines (512) ist actual SIFS duration, and embeds (514) the SIFS information into the response frame. The response frame is preferably an acknowledgement frame (ACK). Wireless devices D1 and D2 preferably include an SIFS database that stores a number of previously determined SIFS durations for the wireless device, one or more median SIFS durations for wireless device, and/or whether other wireless devices support ranging operations in accordance with the example embodiments. The exchange of ranging capabilities informs each of wireless devices D1 and D2 whether the other one supports capturing timestamps and/or is able to determine its own SIFS duration. In this manner, the ranging operations may be performed without estimating the SIFS duration of the second wireless device, thereby eliminating ranging errors resulting from uncertainties in the SIFS duration of the second wireless device.

Abstract:
A wireless transmitter can include a plurality of bandwidth modules, each bandwidth module processing data based on a predetermined frequency band. In one embodiment, such a wireless transmitter can include encoding components for receiving transmit data and generating encoded data. A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) stream parser can receive the encoded data and generate a plurality of MIMO streams. A first module parser coupled to a first MIMO stream can generate a first plurality of partial MIMO streams. A first bandwidth module can include a first interleaver that interleaves bits of the first partial MIMO stream and generates first interleaved data. A second bandwidth module can include a second interleaver that interleaves bits of the second partial MIMO stream and generates second interleaved data. A first inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) unit can combine and process the first and second interleaved data and generate a first transmission MIMO stream.

A first combination of frequency bands is selected for transmitting a first data packet, and a second, different combination of frequency bands is selected for transmitting a second data packet. A data stream is divided into a first set of data and a second set of data. The first set of data is allocated to the first combination of frequency bands, and the second set of data is allocated to the second combination of frequency bands.

Abstract:
A wireless device may be configured to operate in one of two modes where each mode uses a different channel list to perform operations in accordance with the IEEE 802.11 standard. In a first mode, the wireless device operates as an access point that sets up channels using one channel list in order to facilitate communications within a basic service set (BSS). In a second mode, the wireless device uses a second channel list to operate as a station and scan for a BSS. The first channel list contains a subset of the channels contained in the second channel list. The channels in each respective channel list may be reconfigured to adapt to changes in the configuration of a BSS and the devices communicating therein.
