Abstract:
Various embodiments herein disclose coordinating frequencies for an access point (AR). A corresponding method comprises evaluating a performance profile for the AR, the performance profile comprising a first part related to a first network generated by a first radio of the AR and a second part related to a second network generated by a second radio of the AR. The method also comprises selecting first channels on which the AR generates the first network based on the performance profile and spectral regrowth profiles for transmission power levels of the first radio. The method additionally comprises selecting second channels on which the AR generates the second network based at least in part on the performance profile and the spectral regrowth profiles. Furthermore, the method comprises enabling communications between a first set of devices on the first channels and enabling communications between a second set of devices on the second channels.
Abstract:
Spurious beamforming in high density environments can be reduced via transmitting a first signal from a first Access Point (AP) to a first endpoint associated with the first AP via a first beamforming arrangement; in response to identifying that the first beamforming arrangement is pollutive to a second endpoint associated with a second AP: deprecating the first beamforming arrangement; and transmitting a second signal from the first AP to the first endpoint via a second beamforming arrangement, different from the first beamforming arrangement.
Abstract:
A dual mode antenna that comprises: a first conductive piece; and a second conductive piece, configured to electromagnetically couple with the first conductive piece through a dielectric at a second frequency to operate as a loop antenna with the first conductive piece and configured to operate independently of the first conductive piece at a first frequency to operate as a monopole antenna. The dual mode antenna can be included in an antenna array as one of a plurality of dual mode antennas coupled to a routing substrate or a reference dual mode antenna coupled to the routing substrate along with a plurality of single mode antennas coupled to the routing substrate; wherein each antenna of the plurality of dual mode antennas, the reference dual mode antenna, and the plurality of single mode antennas is arranged evenly relative to a first neighboring antenna and a second neighboring antenna.
Abstract:
A first device having a plurality of antennas wirelessly transmits multiple series of test packets to a second device having one or more antennas, each series of test packets being transmitted with a different level of interference imposed on the test packets. The first device determines a packet error rate for each series of test packets transmitted by the first device. The first device derives an estimate of an interference cancellation capability of the second device based on the packet error rate for different levels of interference.
Abstract:
A method includes instructing, by a WiFi access node, a first device to communicate using an uplink frequency band with a first uplink power. The method also includes instructing, by the WiFi access node, a second device to communicate using the uplink frequency band with a second uplink power different from the first uplink power.
Abstract:
Aspects described herein include a method comprising predicting, based on one or more transmission characteristics, error values for a sequence of bit positions used for modulating data within a packet. The method further comprises generating a bitmap that maps one or more payload bits and one or more padding bits of the packet to respective bit positions of the sequence. The one or more padding bits are preferentially mapped to respective bit positions having relatively greater error values. The method further comprises modulating the sequence according to the bitmap.
Abstract:
Embodiments herein describe techniques for conveying performance parameters to client devices using BSS coloring. IEEE 802.11 ax introduced BSS color to help with interference between BBSs operating in the same channel or partially overlapping channels in a frequency band. The BSS colors are typically assigned at random. However, in the embodiments herein, the BSS colors can still be relied to help with co-channel interference as intended by IEEE 802.11 ax but also can convey performance parameters to the client devices. The AP can leverage the BSS color to convey (or encode) a performance parameter such as radio frequency (RF) conditions, quality of service (QoS) conditions, or a policy of the network in response to expected (or future) conditions to receiving client devices.
Abstract:
Embodiments herein describe a group of APs (115A-115D) that uses a shared radar cache (120A) to select a new channel after vacating a current channel when performing dynamic frequency selection (DFS). The group of APs (115A-115D) can set aside memory to store status information about the DFS channels in the frequency band. For example, when one AP detects a radar event (and has to vacate a DFS channel), the AP updates an entry for that channel in the shared radar cache (120A). The APs can also query the cache to determine a new channel after vacating its current channel. That is, the shared radar cache may store the most recent radar events occurring in a channel. In this manner, the APs can select a new channel that has little or no recent radar events, which reduces the likelihood the AP will have to vacate the new channel.

Techniques for peer-to-peer (P2P) transmission using interference alignment are disclosed. These techniques include calculating one or more precoder matrices and one more decoder matrices relating to interference alignment for data transmission between a plurality of wireless stations (STAs). The techniques further include initiating P2P transmission between the plurality of STAs using the one or more precoder matrices and the one or more decoder matrices, the P2P transmission including: simultaneously transmitting data between at least two pairs of STAs, of the plurality of STAs, using the one or more precoder matrices and the one or more decoder matrices for interference alignment of the simultaneous transmissions.
