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:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for uplink (UL) multiuser multiple-input, multiple-output (MU-MIMO) transmissions in a High Efficiency WLAN (HEW) system. One example method generally includes generating a packet having a preamble portion and transmitting the packet. The preamble portion typically includes a long training field (LTF); a first signal (SIG) field subsequent to the LTF; one or more other LTFs located subsequent to the first SIG field; and at least one second SIG field, wherein all SIG fields in the preamble portion, other than the first SIG field, are subsequent to the one or more other LTFs. Another example method generally includes receiving, from an apparatus, a packet having a preamble portion comprising tone-interleaved LTFs; and performing frequency offset adjustment on the packet based on the tone-interleaved LTFs.
Abstract:
One aspect disclosed is a method in a wireless communications system including a first primary channel having a first frequency spectrum bandwidth and a second primary channel having a second frequency spectrum bandwidth, wherein the second frequency spectrum bandwidth includes the first frequency spectrum bandwidth. The method includes performing a first and a second back-off procedure at least partially in parallel, the first back-off procedure based on whether the first primary channel is idle, and the second back-off procedure based on whether the second primary channel is idle, and transmitting a wireless message based on whether the first or the second back-off procedure completes first.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for transmitting data are described herein. In some aspects, a method comprises generating a first message. The first message may comprise an allocation of a first station to a first frequency channel and a second station to a second frequency channel. The method further comprises transmitting the first message over the first frequency channel and the second frequency channel. The method further comprises transmitting, after transmission of the first message, a second message to the first station using the first frequency channel. The method further comprises transmitting, after transmission of the first message, a third message to the second station using the second frequency channel.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication are disclosed herein. One aspect of the disclosure provides a method of transmitting on a wireless communication network. The method includes transmitting to one or more first devices in a first portion of a bandwidth, the one or more first devices having a first set of capabilities, simultaneously transmitting to one or more second devices in a second portion of the bandwidth, the one or more second devices having a second set of capabilities, and wherein the transmission comprises a preamble which includes an indication for devices with the second set of capabilities to locate a frequency band in the bandwidth for symbols containing a set of transmission parameters for devices with the second set of capabilities, and where the indication is sent so as to have no substantial impact on a preamble decoding of devices with the first set of capabilities.
Abstract:
A method of performing dynamic sounding in a wireless communication device includes determining whether to perform sounding based on an age of current channel state information (CSI). An achievable throughput can be recorded as a reference throughput after performing the sounding. A current achievable throughput can be compared with the reference throughput. A CSI timestamp can be reset when the current throughput is above the reference throughput by a first predetermined amount, thereby prolonging a lifespan of the current CSI. The CSI timestamp can be reduced when the current throughput is below the reference throughput by a second predetermined amount, thereby reducing the lifespan of the current CSI.
Abstract:
Systems and methods of controlling characteristics of messages in sub-1 GHz networks (e.g., IEEE 802.11ah networks) are disclosed. One or more data structures indicating tone scaling parameters may be stored at or accessible to transmitters and receivers. The data structures may be organized based on a frame format, a wireless network bandwidth, and/or the number of spatial streams in use at the wireless network. Information stored in the data structures may be used in generation and processing of messages communicated via the sub-1 GHz network.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for communicating data in a wireless communications network are described herein. In some aspects, a receiver of a relay is configured to receive a relay initiator frame and a data frame. A transmitter of the relay is configured to transmit an amplified version of the data frame at a same or substantially same time as a time that the data frame is received if the relay initiator frame is received prior to the data frame.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including non-transitory computer-readable medium for tone mapping an error correction code for 1 MHz OFDM transmission. In one aspect, a wireless communications apparatus is provided. The wireless communications apparatus includes a tone mapper configured to tone map at least error correction codeword to data tones of an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol based on an error correction code tone mapping distance selected from the group consisting of 2, 3, and 4. The OFDM symbol has twenty four data tones, at least one pilot tone, a DC tone, and at least one guard tone. The wireless communications apparatus further includes a transmit module configured to transmit the at least one tone mapped error correction codeword using about a 1 MHz OFDM transmission mode.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for detecting packets in signals are described herein. The apparatus comprises a receiver configured to receive a signal comprising a plurality of samples. The apparatus comprises circuitry. The circuitry is configured to apply a match filter (228) to the plurality of samples to produce a plurality of blocks of samples, each block comprising a number of samples. The circuitry is configured to correlate (510a, 510b) a subset (505a, 505b,...) of the samples of a first block with a subset of the samples of a second block (505b, 505c,...) to produce an output. The circuitry is configured to compare (525) the output to a threshold value (T) to determine whether the signal comprises a data packet.
