Abstract: A method includes detecting, by a first device, a beacon sent from a second device. The beacon is associated with an ad-hoc wireless network. In response to detecting the beacon, the first device sends to the second device a request for management information associated with the ad-hoc wireless network. The request identifies at least a first information element associated with at least a first portion of the management information and a second information element associated with at least a second portion of the management information. The method further includes receiving from the second device a first wrapper information element that includes at least the first information element.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to apparatus and methods for switching operating bandwidth and/or operating channel in a wireless communications network. A transmitting STA may send an announcement of a switch to a particular bandwidth in a frame, wherein the presence of absence of a Secondary Channel Offset Element and a Wide Bandwidth Channel Switch Element in the frame indicates whether the particular bandwidth belongs to a first or second set of operating bandwidths. The presence of the Secondary Channel Offset Element and a Wide Bandwidth Channel Switch Element in the frame may indicate a switch to the first set of operating bandwidths. The first set of operating bandwidths may include VHT channels including 80 MHz only, 80+80 MHz and 160 MHz channels. The absence of the Secondary Channel Offset Element and a Wide Bandwidth Channel Switch Element in the frame may indicate a switch to the second set of operating bandwidths. The second set of operating bandwidths may include 20 MHz and 40 MHz channels.

Abstract: Calibration coefficients are combined to provide more robust calibration. In some implementations, calibration coefficients are generated by acquiring two or more sets of calibration coefficients that are associated with different periods of time, different receive devices, or some other condition. These different sets of calibration coefficients are then combined using maximal ratio combining or some other suitable technique. The resulting combined calibration coefficients are used to calibrate implicit channel estimates.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to apparatus and methods for managing acknowledgement messages from multiple destinations for multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) transmissions. According to certain aspects, a polled block acknowledgement (BA) mechanism can be considered mandatory to an acknowledgement protocol, and a sequential (or other type of scheduled/deterministic) mechanism can be considered optional.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for signaling extended sizes for Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol Data Unit (MPDU), Aggregated MPDU (A-MPDU) and Aggregated MAC Service Data Unit (A-MSDU) frame formats. A first technique proposes modifications to the current specifications of the IEEE 802.11n standard in order to allow for longer MPDUs in an A-MPDU. This technique reuses the IEEE 802.11n signaling format and utilizes reserved bits to convey the new information. The second technique proposes a new signaling mechanism to convey the extended sizes for the MPDU, A-MPDU and the A-MSDU through a very high throughput (VHT) capability element.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for using channel state information (CSI) feedback for multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) transmission. For certain aspects, a method of wireless communications generally includes generating a training frame and transmitting the generated training frame. The training frame typically includes first information identifying a group of one or more apparatuses and second information indicating whether each of the apparatuses in the group is to determine at least one characteristic of a channel. For other aspects, a method of wireless communications generally includes receiving a request at an apparatus and transmitting, in response to the received request, a packet using frame aggregation, wherein two or more frames are transmitted in a single transmission using a single header.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally apply to a wireless local area network (WLAN) where an access point (AP) has data to send to multiple stations (STAs). By using the Downlink Spatial Division Multiple Access (DL-SDMA) technique, the AP may send data at the same time towards multiple STAs. Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatuses for detecting that a multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) transmission has suffered a collision and to adapting a contention window (CW) size for a backoff counter applied to a subsequent MU-MIMO transmission.
