Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatus are disclosed for increasing reuse in wireless communications. In one aspect, a method of wireless communication is provided, transmitting a message to a first station indicating an identified transmission opportunity for the first station to communicate with a second station. The method further comprises transmitting a first wireless communication signal to at least a third station utilizing beamformed wireless communication such that the first wireless communication signal to the third station has a received signal level below a threshold at one or both of the first and second stations. The identified transmission opportunity is based on whether a transmission of a second wireless communication signal between the first and the second stations occurs over a period of time that is at least partially concurrent with the utilized beamformed communication.

Systems, methods, and devices for high-efficiency wireless frequency division multiplexing are provided. A method includes determining, at an access point, a performance characteristic for each wireless device in a set of wireless devices associated with the access point. The method further includes categorizing each wireless device in the set into at least a first and second subset of wireless devices based on the performance characteristic. The method further includes receiving communications from the first subset of wireless devices on a first set of wireless frequencies. The method further includes receiving communications from the second subset of wireless devices on a second set of wireless frequencies, the second set of wireless frequencies being a subset of the first. The first set of wireless devices have a higher performance characteristic than the second set of wireless devices.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for coordinating access to a shared medium are described herein. In some aspects, a method includes receiving information at an access point. The method further includes modifying, based on the received information, the use of the shared medium by one or more wireless devices to reduce the likelihood that the wireless devices are subject to interference. The method may further include determining whether one or more wireless devices is subject to interference with another wireless device in the wireless network. The method may further include identifying the one or more wireless devices that is subject to interference.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for high-efficiency wireless frequency division multiplexing are provided. A method includes receiving, at a first wireless device, a reference signal from an associated access point, the reference signal indicative of a time of joint transmission with at least a second wireless device. The method further includes transmitting a first communication to the access point based on the reference signal, the communication utilizing a first subset of wireless frequencies available for use. The first communication is concurrent with a second communication, from the second wireless device, utilizing a second subset of wireless frequencies, the second subset excluding the first subset.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer readable storage media communicate with a wireless device within a dense wireless environment. In one aspect, a method includes determining whether a wireless device is subject to interference, adjusting a transmission attribute based on the determining, and transmitting a message to the wireless device based on the adjusted transmission attribute. In some aspects, adjusting a transmission attribute may include selecting one or more of time division multiplexing or frequency division multiplexing when communicating with the wireless device. In some aspects, particular time periods and/or particular frequency bands may be selected for communication with the device depending on whether the device is subject to interference.
Abstract:
In a conditional channel measurement operation, an apparatus may determine how to invoke a channel measurement operation based on whether one or more measurement operation conditions are met. A channel measurement operation may involve measuring conditions on a channel, reporting results of a channel measurement, or some other operation related to measurement of a channel. A measurement operation condition may relate to resource availability, a measurement timing criterion, or some other condition used to control how a channel measurement-related operation is conducted. In some aspects, conditional channel measurement operations involve determining whether, when, and the manner in which channel conditions are measured and/or reported. For example, an apparatus may conduct a measurement and/or report the results of a measurement at a time or in a manner that mitigates impact on channel traffic and/or at least one resource.
