The apparatus may be configured to determine one or more TWTs for the apparatus based on the TWT schedule.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. In an aspect, an apparatus may be configured to determine whether to switch to an active mode, a power save mode, or a TWT power save mode. During the TWT power save mode, the apparatus may enter an awake state during TWT service periods and may enter a doze state outside of the TWT service periods. The apparatus may transmit a message to a second wireless device based on the determination.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide an apparatus for wireless communications. The apparatus generally includes a processing system configured to generate a data frame based on a compressed data frame format and to include control information in at least one field of the data frame, wherein the at least one field is not specified in the compressed data frame format and an interface for outputting the data frame for transmission. Another example apparatus generally includes a processing system configured to generate a frame having a first one or more bits indicating whether the frame has a compressed format and a second one or more bits indicating which of one or more fields are absent if the frame has a compressed format and an interface for outputting the frame for transmission.

Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. In one aspect, an apparatus allocates dedicated sets of pilot tones within symbols to a plurality of stations to enable per station phase drift tracking from symbol to symbol. Each station of the plurality of stations is allocated a dedicated set of pilot tones for transmitting dedicated single stream pilots to enable the apparatus to perform per station phase drift tracking from symbol to symbol. The apparatus transmits a frame to the plurality of stations. The frame includes information indicating the allocated and dedicated sets of pilot tones used for transmitting dedicated single stream pilots to enable per station phase drift tracking from symbol to symbol.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques that may help address the effects of larger delay spreads in WiFi bands. Methods and apparatus are provided that perform wireless communications utilizing varying cyclic prefix lengths, varying repetition intervals, and varying symbol durations to ameliorate the effects of large delay spreads.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for managing wireless communications in a machine-to-machine (M2M) wireless Wide Area Network (WAN). A traffic slot map is generated. The traffic slot map identifies one or more first time slots and one or more second time slots. First data is transmitted during the one or more first time slots at a first data rate. Second data is transmitted during the one or more second time slots at a second data rate. The traffic slot map is broadcasted to one or more M2M devices during a traffic slot of a first forward link frame at a beginning of a traffic channel cycle.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for reducing out-of-band emission (OOBE) for transmissions associated with a distributed resource unit (RU) (dRU) allocation. Some aspects more specifically relate to introducing more unevenness in terms of tone spacing to a first subset of dRUs associated with a given bandwidth and maintaining relatively more even tone spacing for a second subset of dRUs associated with that given bandwidth. In some implementations, for example, a complete set of dRUs associated with a bandwidth may include a first subset of dRUs and a second subset of dRUs, with dRUs of the first subset having more uneven tone spacings as compared to dRUs of the second subset. In some aspects, the first subset of dRUs may include dRUs associated with relatively fewer tones as compared to dRUs of the second subset.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for increasing the transmit power of wireless communication devices operating on power spectral density (PSD)-limited wireless channels. Some implementations more specifically relate to pilot tone designs that support distributed transmission. A transmitting device may modulate a physical layer convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) on a number (M) of tones representing a logical RU associated with the legacy tone plan and may further map the M tones to M noncontiguous subcarrier indices associated with a wireless channel. The transmitting device may transmit the PPDU, over the wireless channel, with a number (N) of pilot tones each having a respective location relative to the M tones as mapped to the M noncontiguous subcarrier indices. In some implementations, the relative locations of the N pilot tones may be different than relative locations of a number (K) of pilot tones associated with the logical RU.
