Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for sub-channel selection in a wireless network. In one aspect, a first message is generated at a first electronic device of a wireless network in response to a number of electronic devices of a wireless network being less than a threshold number. The first message indicates particular sub-channels of a transmission band that are to be used for a transmission in a single user (SU) mode of operation to a second electronic device of the wireless network. The method further includes sending the first message to the second electronic device. The first message indicates that a second message is to be sent to the second electronic device using the particular sub-channels. The method further includes sending the second message to the second electronic device via the transmission using the particular sub-channels.
Abstract:
Techniques and apparatus for wake-up radio (WUR) operations are provided. One technique includes communicating with one or more wireless devices via a first radio operating on a first channel. A WUR is operated on a second channel different from the first channel. A wireless device may receive an indication of the second channel to use for monitoring for WUR transmission, and monitor for a WUR transmission on the second channel after receiving the indication.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for wireless communication are provided. In one configuration, an apparatus is configured to transmit a wake-up radio (WUR) signal, to determine to transmit a second signal within a SIFS after transmitting the WUR signal to increase medium reuse, and to transmit the second signal within the SIFS after transmitting the WUR signal based on the determination. The second signal may be a data, management, control, ACK, or CF-end frame to enable legacy devices that do not decode the WUR signal to avoid wasted airtime cause by EIFS after the WUR signal. In another configuration, the apparatus is configured to transmit a CTS-to-self frame, to determine to transmit a second signal within a SIFS after transmitting the CTS-to-self frame, and to transmit the second signal based on the determination. The second signal may be a WUR signal or an intermediate signal followed by a WUR signal.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. In one aspect, an apparatus is configured to determine a plurality of resource units for communication. The apparatus is configured to generate a set of pilot signals in at least one resource unit of the plurality of resource units. The apparatus is configured to transmit the generated set of pilot signals in the at least one resource unit of the plurality of resource units.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for communicating control information in a physical layer convergence protocol (PLCP) service data unit (PSDU) on one or more tones of the PSDU that are not used for transmitting data (or pilot signals). One example method for wireless communications generally includes generating a packet comprising a PSDU having control information conveyed in one or more tones of the PSDU that are not used for transmitting data, processing the packet to generate a signal, and transmitting the signal.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. In one aspect, an apparatus includes a processor configured to allocate a plurality of resource blocks for wireless communication. The processor is further configured to transmit data on a first resource block of the plurality of resource blocks, in which the first resource block is associated with a first set of tone indices and a second set of tone indices, and the first set of tone indices is a set of nominal tone indices that is logically mapped to a second set of tone indices that is a set of physical tone indices.
Abstract:
In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a wireless device. The wireless device determines a first subset of resource units (RUs) of a set of RUs that extends across a bandwidth of a channel in a transmission time period, the first subset of RUs including less RUs than the set of RUs, each RU of the set of RUs including at least 26 tones. The wireless device communicates at least one of data or control information in the first subset of the RUs.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for generating responses to extended length frames having increased symbol lengths without changing the short interframe space duration. According to certain aspects, a method for transmitting an extended length frame generally includes generating a packet having a preamble decodable by a first type of device having a first set of capabilities and a second type of device having a second set of capabilities, wherein at least a first portion of the packet is generated using an increased symbol duration or increased cyclic prefix relative to a second portion of the packet generated using a standard symbol duration or standard cyclic prefix and the packet includes padding symbols after the first portion, and outputting the generated packet for transmission.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide apparatus, methods, processing systems, and computer program products for time synchronization function (TSF) rollover solutions for short beacons. Aspects of the present disclosure provide an apparatus for wireless communications. The apparatus generally includes a processing system configured to generate a time stamp with a first value of a first portion of a counter and generate a frame including a first field with the time stamp and a second field having one or more bits with a second value of the first portion of the counter, and an interface configured to output the frame for transmission to a receiving device.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for deferral based on basic service set identification (BSSID) information. According to certain aspects, a method for wireless communications is provided. The method generally includes receiving, on a shared access medium, a packet having at least one deferral-related parameter and deciding whether to defer transmission on the shared access medium based, at least in part, on the deferral-related parameter. Another method may generally include generating a packet comprising at least one deferral-related parameter to be used by another apparatus for deciding whether or not the other apparatus should defer transmitting on a shared access medium and providing the packet to the other apparatus.
