    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: A method of spatial reuse with opportunistic transmit power control (TPC) and clear channel assessment (CCA) is proposed. In the opportunistic TPC and CCA, a spatial reuse station (SR-STA) gains enough knowledge in certain situation for more aggressive spatial reuse such that its transmit power may be adjusted to meet the spatial reuse conditions based on the received OBSS PPDU and the corresponding spatial reuse parameter (SRP). Both Type 1 SRP and Type 2 SRP are defined. In one example, the Type 1 or Type 2 SRP is a 5-bit parameter carried in the HE-SIG-A field of the OBSS PPDU, which can be a trigger frame, a response frame, a request-to-send (RTS)/clear-to-send (CTS) frame, and a data frame.

    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 method of performing contention-based uplink OFDMA transmission is proposed in accordance with one novel aspect. A wireless communications station (an AP) reserves both dedicated resource and contention resource for uplink OFDMA operation for a list of communications devices (STAs). For contention-based random access, the AP does not need to collect traffic requests from the STAs. The AP only needs to make simple resource arrangement. The AP only needs to specify the allocated resource for random access and the uplink OFDMA operation duration and timing for each uplink OFDMA packet. Each STA having traffic request will contend the resource based on a random access probability scheme.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for clear channel assessment in the Wifi network. In one novel aspect, different clear channel assessment (CCA) threshold value is set for intra-BSS and inter-BSS frames during the counting down process. A CCA procedure senses the radio channel and determines if the radio channel is busy or idle during the backoff period by comparing the signal level value of detected fames with the CCA threshold value. The counting down will be suspended if the radio channel determined to be busy. If the detected frame is inter-BSS frame, the CCA threshold value is raised. If the signal level of the detected frames is lower than the inter-BSS CCA threshold for inter-BSS fames, the radio channel is considered idle. The counting down process is resumed.

    Abstract: A method of very high throughput (VHT) operation information subfields design for IEEE 802.11 WLAN is proposed. The VHT operation information subfields comprise a channel width, a channel center frequency segment 0 (CCFS0), and a channel center frequency segment 1 (CCFS1). Multiple definitions of the VHT operation information subfields have been adopted by different access points (AP)s and wireless stations (STAs). In accordance with one novel aspect, upon receiving the VHT operation information element broadcasted by an AP, an STA will first check the channel width indicated by the AP. The STA then follows different definitions under different channel widths. Under such method, the STA can support up to 160 MHz operation mode with APs following different definitions and operating up to 160 MHz mode.

    Abstract: An access point (AP) accepts a communications device to join a wireless communications network. The AP registers a service provided by the communications device. The service is available in accordance with a schedule and a set of service parameters. The AP receives a request from a peer communications device seeking the service. The AP announces availability of the service on behalf of the communications device while the communications device is unavailable. The service is later provided by the communications device to the peer communications device when both devices are available to communicate. By utilizing an always-on AP to announce service availability and to exchange service parameters, fast service discovery can be achieved with low power consumption for both service advertisers and service seekers.
