Abstract: Signaling and feedback schemes of channel variation information from WLAN receiver are proposed. WLAN receiver performs channel tracking and obtains channel variation information. The signaling and feedback of channel variation information can help WLAN transmitter to decide when to apply travelling pilots or mid-amble in the transmission. Furthermore, the channel variation information can assist WLAN transmitter for scheduling the next transmission properly and thereby enhancing the system performance of WLAN.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for HE-SIG-B common field formats and indications. In one novel aspect, a fixed format is used for HE-SIG-B common field indicating resource allocations (RA). In one embodiment, look-up tables (LUT) are configured for the resource allocation and indicated in the HE-SIG-B common field. In one embodiment, one or more RA LUTs are used based on the operation bandwidth. The RA LUTs are placed in an order of channel indexes from lower channel to upper channel signaled in each corresponding RA LUT. In another novel aspect, MU-MIMO is used for operation bandwidth of 160 MHz and a compression indicator is set in the HE-SIG-A field indicating a saving of all RA LUTS in the HE-SIG-B common field. In yet another novel aspect, a one-bit middle-tone indicator is included in the HE-SIG-B common field indicating whether the one or more middle 26 tone is used.

Abstract: A method of direction finding (DF) positioning in a wireless location area network (WLAN) is proposed. A multiple antenna IEEE 802.11 transmitting device can transmit signal preamble containing multiple Long Training Field (LTF) symbols in a radio frame from multiple antennas simultaneously, which allows a receiving device to resolve multiple DF sounding signals transmitted from the multiple antennas. As a result, angle of departure (AoD) of the transmitting device can be estimated by using the multiple resolved DF sounding signals from each antenna for DF positioning purpose.

Abstract: A method of interleaver design for dual carrier modulation (DCM) is proposed in a wireless network. For HE PPDU transmission with DCM, information bits are first encoded by a BCC encoder. The BCC encoded bit streams are then interleaved by a BCC interleaver. More specifically, the BCC interleaved bits are repeated on two halves of a given resource unit (RU). The BCC interleaver parameters are defined based on half of the total number of the data tones of the RU if DCM is applied. The BCC interleaved bits are then modulated and mapped to two halves of the RU by a DCM constellation mapper.

Abstract: A unified channel contention scheme is proposed such that spatial reuse can be enabled by a wireless station (STA) when a basic service set (BSS) color of a received signal cannot be resolved. If the detected frame is an intra-BSS frame, then the STA should not contend the channel for the PPDU duration. If the detected frame is an inter-BSS frame, then the STA uses OBSS Packet Detection (OBSS-PD) level as the CCA level for channel contention. Furthermore, when BSS color cannot be resolved, channel contention schemes for WiFi signal and non-WiFi signal are differentiated. If the received signal is detected as WiFi signal, then the STA uses WiFi-SIG Detection (WD) level as the CCA level for channel contention. If the received signal is detected as non-WiFi signal, then the STA uses Non-WiFi-SIG Detection (NWD) level as the CCA level for channel contention.

Abstract: A backward compatible frame reuse mechanism that allows new information to be defined a reused frame without causing any incorrect operation in a legacy receive device. To generate a reused frame, a portion of the frame in the first format is masked with a predetermined masking sequence (PMS) and thereby redefined as new fields in a second format. When a device that supports the reuse scheme receives a frame that possible is a reused frame, the device checks the potentially reused portion according to the first format after de-masking and also checks according to the second format without de-masking. Based on the check results, the device selects a format to resolve the frame. A legacy device receiving the reused frame only checks the reused portion without de-masking, which results in a certain check error and makes the device discard the frame without any harmful operation.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for burst OFDMA support MU-MIMO in the WLAN network. In one novel aspect, pluralities of user channels are configured for a downlink wideband channel, wherein each user channel is associated with a user group selecting from a SU-SISO, or a SU-MIMO or a MU-MIMO. In one embodiment, the SIG1 and SIG2 signaling fields are independent for each user channel. In another embodiment, the SIG1 fields are duplicates for all user channels carrying common information. The SIG2 fields for each user group are different from each other carrying user group specific information. In another novel aspect, an uplink OFDMA frames contains ACK packets from multiple STAs concurrently using an uplink wideband channel. In one embodiment, one ACK packet is sent for a MU-MIMO user group. In another embodiment, the uplink ACK packet assignment is based on indications in the downlink PHY SIG field.

Abstract: Dual sub-carrier modulation (DCM) is introduced in high efficiency (HE) WLAN. DCM is a solution to deal with narrow band interferences and for range extension. DCM can introduce frequency diversity into OFDM systems by transmitting the same information on two subcarriers separated in frequency. If DCM is applied, then the transmitter modulates the same encoded bits onto two separated subcarriers with the same or different constellation mapping schemes. DCM suffers from a high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). In accordance with one novel aspect, a method of transmitting and encoding a HE PPDU frame with binary phase shift keying (BPSK) DCM and lower PAPR is proposed.

Abstract: A spatial reuse prioritized channel access scheme is proposed to enhance the average throughput per station in a wireless network by optimizing spatial reuse. Spatial reuse capability (SRC) is defined as a monotonically decreasing function of co-channel interference signal strength from OBSSs. Higher spatial reuse capability can be transformed into higher data rate or less usage of airtime by using higher MCS or less interferences to OBSSs by reducing TX power. By allowing the stations that have larger spatial reuse capability to have higher probability to win channel access contention, the overall network throughput is enhanced.

Abstract: A method of transmitting and receiving a HE PPDU and perform channel estimation enhancement is proposed. The HE PPDU comprises legacy preamble, HE-STF, HE-LTF, and data. A beam-change indication indicates if the pre-multiplied beamforming Q-matrix is changed from legacy preamble to H-SFT, HE-LTF, and data portion. A value of 1 indicates that Q matrix is changed. A value of 0 indicates that Q matrix is unchanged and receiver should be safe to combine L-LTF and HE-LTF. The beam-change indication can be used to significantly enhance channel estimation at receiver. When there is no beam-change, receiver does not change operation during HE-STF and HE-LTF such that the channel estimations can rely on the combination of L-LTFs, L-SIG, RL-SIG, HE-SIGAs and HE-LTF.
