Abstract:
A central processor subsystem controls multiple transceivers. Each transceiver transmits protocol data units from antennas of that transceiver and produces receive waveforms from wirelessly received signals at the one or more antennas. A transmit waveform, including a frame addressed to one or more wireless client devices, is sent through a first transceiver to be transmitted wirelessly by the first transceiver on a frequency channel. A receive waveform, representative of the transmission by the first transceiver and wirelessly received at a second transceiver, is received from the second transceiver. While the transmit waveform is being sent to the first transceiver: a level of collision between the receive waveform and another transmission on the frequency channel is detected; and if the level of collision exceeds a threshold prior to an end of the receive waveform, the transmit waveform being sent to the first transceiver is modified to reduce the collision.

Aspects discussed herein include a method and associated network device and computer program product. The method includes receiving a network packet, and estimating, using a preamble of the network packet, a power distribution corresponding to a plurality of subcarriers of a channel. The method further includes estimating a carrier frequency offset using the power distribution, and estimating a clock offset using the carrier frequency offset.
Abstract:
Seamless client roaming for Multi-Link Device (MLD) clients may be provided. First, a Traffic Identifier (TID)-to-link map may be established by an Upper Service Access Point (U-SAP) of a multi -AP MLD entity that assigns subsets of TIDs to at least two links of the entity. For example, a client device logically associates with the U-SAP, while the client device physically connects to a first and second AP of the entity on a respective first and second link, where the first and second AP include first and second Lower Service Access Points (L-SAPs) and are non-collocated. Next, using the map, data received at the U-SAP is directed over one of the two links for transmission to the client device. Further, frame aggregation and block acknowledgement functions may be performed by one of the first or second L-SAP based on whether data transmission is over the first or second link.
Abstract:
Wider bandwidth transmissions are dynamically enabled in a wireless networking environment. During a transmit opportunity time interval for a wireless network device, a transmission is sent in a primary channel in a frequency band in which the primary channel and a secondary channel may be used simultaneously to send a wider bandwidth transmission. Activity is monitored in the secondary channel. A determination is made as to whether the secondary channel is free based on the monitoring. When it is determined that the secondary channel is free, the wider bandwidth transmission is sent in the primary and secondary channels.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided for a multi-user reservation sequence used when transmitting a multi-user transmission in a wireless network. At a wireless access point device configured to operate in a wireless network, a multi-user request-to-send packet is transmitted as part of a multi-user reservation sequence prior to a multi-user transmission from the wireless access point device to a plurality of wireless client devices that are the intended recipients for the multi-user transmission. The multi-user request-to-send packet comprises duration information and address information configured to address at least some of the plurality of wireless client devices. Clear-to-send packets transmitted from two or more of the plurality of wireless client devices in response to the multi-user request-to-send packet are received at the wireless access point device. Each clear-to-send packet comprises identical content. In some scenarios, the multi-user request-to-send packet is preceded by a single-user request-to- send packet directed to a designated wireless client device.

Described herein are a computer-implemented method of determining a power plan/frequency plan combination assigning transmit frequency channels and transmit powers for a plurality of managed access points (APs) of a wireless network. Also described herein is a carrier medium carrying computer readable code configured to cause one or more processors of a processing system to implement the computer implemented method of determining a power plan/frequency plan combination. The method includes determining candidate power plans for the access points, including determining candidate transmit powers for the access' points, determining a candidate frequency plan corresponding to each of the determined candidate power plans using a frequency plan determining method to determine a set of candidate power plan/frequency plan combinations, and rating each combination of a candidate power plan and candidate frequency plan according to an evaluation criterion, and selecting a preliminary power plan/frequency plan combination based on the rating. One embodiment of the method further includes determining a final power plan for the preliminary frequency plan of the preliminary power plan/frequency plan combination to obtain a final power plan/frequency plan combination.

Abstract:
Techniques are provided herein to allow a wireless network access point (AP) to more fully use its bandwidth in order to leverage the different bandwidth capabilities of different types of wireless client devices that the AP serves. The AP generates control parameters for usage of a plurality of channels in a bandwidth during a downlink transmission interval. The control parameters comprise information indicating channel assignments that result in multiple downlink transmissions that at least partially overlap in time to different wireless client devices according to their respective bandwidth capabilities. The AP transmits the control parameters in a control frame in advance of the downlink transmission interval on each of the plurality of channels in the bandwidth.
Abstract:
Bypassing radar in wide Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) channels utilizing puncturing may be provided. A first client device may be classified as eligible for puncturing and a second client device may be classified as not eligible for puncturing. Next, it may be determined that a subchannel in a bandwidth range should not be used. Then, in response to determining that the subchannel in the bandwidth range should not be used, the first client device may be steered to a first subset of the bandwidth range and the second client device may be steered to a second subset of the bandwidth range. The second subset of the bandwidth range may be smaller than the first subset of the bandwidth range.

A plurality of time slots are allocated during which a location procedure is performed for one or more target wireless devices. Select ones of a plurality of wireless access points at different positions are assigned to each time slot such that multiple wireless access points assigned to a given time slot are sufficiently separated. In addition, wireless access points are assigned to a corresponding one of a plurality of groups for each time slot such that wireless access points assigned to a group tune to a channel used by a wireless access point in the group that transmits one or more frames that are intended to provoke one or more response frames from the one or more wireless devices.
