Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide wireless communication, and more specifically, a keep-alive indication method used to maintain data transmission.SOLUTION: A transmitting device transmits data to one or more receiving devices. At least one of the receiving devices transmits a keep-alive to the transmitting device. The keep-alive is transmitted at a reduced rate relative to the data transmission rate. In some implementations, multiple receiving devices may transmit keep-alives. In these cases, each receiving device may transmit its keep-alives in accordance with a schedule to prevent or reduce the likelihood of overlapping keep-alives. In some implementations, a receiving device may be selected to transmit keep-alives. Here, if the selected receiving device stops transmitting the keep-alives, another receiving device is selected to transmit keep-alives.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of media access control for ultra-wide band communication.SOLUTION: The media access control employs a peer-to-peer network topology. The media access control utilizes a reduced addressing scheme. Concurrent ultra-wide band channels are established through the use of a pulse division multiple access channelization scheme. Multiple media access control states are defined, and thereby each state may be associated with one or more of different channel parameter state information, different duty cycles, and different synchronization states.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for transmitting and receiving an acknowledgement packet.SOLUTION: A method comprises the steps of: receiving a data packet; processing the data packet; and transmitting an ACK packet approximately at an end of a first defined time interval if the processing of the data packet is completed within the first defined time interval, or transmitting the ACK packet approximately at an end of a second defined time interval if the processing of the data packet is not completed within the first defined interval and is completed within the second defined time interval. Another method comprises the steps of: transmitting a data packet; scanning a channel for an ACK packet approximately at an end of a first defined time interval from the transmission of the data packet; and scanning the channel for the ACK packet approximately at an end of a second defined time interval from the transmission of the data packet if the ACK packet has not been received within the first defined interval.

Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. In one aspect, an apparatus is configured to receive information indicating a wake time period from a STA and use the received wake time period to schedule communication with the STA. The apparatus may use the received wake time period to determine a target transmission time for transmitting a trigger frame to the STA. The apparatus may transmit a beacon to the STA and then transmit the trigger frame to the STA at the target transmission time following the beacon. The apparatus may also indicate an offset from the beacon that the apparatus will use for communication with the STA based on the wake time period of the STA.

Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, and computer-readable media for wireless communication may involve techniques for throughput estimation. An expected air time parameter may be used as a parameter for estimating throughput. The expected air time parameter may be indicative of an estimated air time fraction obtainable for communications using an access point (AP), for example, between a wireless station (STA) and the AP. Either the expected air time parameter or an estimated air time fraction determined (e.g., calculated) from the expected air time parameter may be transmitted from the AP to the STA (or other communication device) to allow the STA (or other communication device) to determine an estimated throughput for communications using the AP.
