Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for adding coded bit padding for an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) data transmission device. SOLUTION: The method includes the steps of: receiving a data payload for OFDM transmission; encoding the data payload; adding bit padding to the encoded data payload; and outputting a minimum number of OFDM symbols. Furthermore, the step of adding bit padding is specified by an expression of NPad=NSYM*NSD-(NMACBYTES*8+16+6). COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable two kinds of devices to operate in a network that includes a new device capable of using wideband channels and a legacy device capable of using only narrowband channels.SOLUTION: A network controller may define which devices use which narrowband channels for concurrently transmitting uplink acknowledgements. Further, the network controller may schedule the devices to respond in groups based on the received signal strength of their transmissions in the network controller.
Abstract:
A tone selection module selects tones suitable for use in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) data transmission device based on several constraints. These constraints include number of available tones, modulation type, and code rate. The OFDM device may use either wired or wireless transmission.
Abstract:
An embodiment of the present invention provides non-resolvable long training field (LTF) formatting methods used in wireless networks, comprising defining the non-resolvable LTF frame format so that a transmission of VHT-SIG-B is aligned for all users, thereby requiring that a VHT-LTF portion of a packet be of a same duration for all users.

Abstract:
Embodiments of an OFDM transmitter and method of reducing the effects of interference on subcarriers in an OFDM system by symbol loading are disclosed herein. A linear transformation is performed on a group of two or more input data symbols that are mapped to different signal dimensions to generate a corresponding two or more output data symbols. Each of the output data symbols has an increased number of constellation points. Each output data symbol is configured for transmission within one of the different signal dimensions. The linear transformation is configured so that each of the two or more output data symbols carry the information of each of the input data symbols of the group. This coding together of input data symbols that are mapped to different signal dimensions may provide improved reliability against fading and severe interference. The different signal dimensions may comprise a frequency, a time and/or a space dimension.
Abstract:
Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of selectively aborting reception of wireless communication packets. For example, a receiver may at least partially process a portion of a wireless communication packet, to determine based on the portion of the communication packet whether the packet is intended to be received by the receiver and, if the packet is not intended to be received by the receiver, to abort processing of a remainder of the communication packet by one or more components of a physical layer of the receiver. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
An embodiment of the present invention provides a method of wakeup signaling for a very low power wireless local area network device (WLAN) device, comprising transmitting by an access point operable in the WLAN of a wake-up signal that can be received using low-power techniques at a receiver associated with the device.
Abstract:
Embodiments of a communication station and methods for efficiently providing channel feedback for MIMO communications over an OFDM channel are generally described herein. In some embodiments, receiving stations may perform a recursive differential quantization of channel information across time and/or frequency to generate quantized differential channel feedback. The quantized differential channel feedback from each receiving station may be used by a transmitting station to precode MIMO transmissions to one or more of the receiving stations. The quantized differential channel feedback may be either a quantized differential channel matrix or a quantized differential beamforming matrix.
