Abstract:
A particular method includes receiving a power save polling frame from a station at an access point. The method also includes, in response to receiving the power save polling frame, transmitting a frame from the access point to the station, the frame indicating whether traffic associated with the station is buffered at the access point. Another particular method includes transmitting a power save polling frame from the station to the access point. The method further includes, in response to transmitting the power save polling frame, receiving a frame from the access point indicating whether traffic associated with the station is buffered at the access point.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for acknowledgment of multiple user uplink are provided. In one aspect, a method of wireless communication includes receiving a first wireless message from a first station at least partially concurrently with receiving a second wireless message from a second station, generating a first acknowledgment message in response to receiving the first wireless message, generating a second acknowledgement message in response to receiving the second wireless message, and transmitting the first acknowledgment message to the first station at least partially concurrently with transmitting the second acknowledgement message to the second station.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for multiple user uplink are provided. In one aspect, a method for wireless communication includes generating a first wireless message granting permission for a first station to transmit during a transmission opportunity, generating a second wireless message granting permission for a second station to transmit during the transmission opportunity; and transmitting the first wireless message to the first station at least partially concurrently with transmission of the second wireless message to the second station.
Abstract:
The present disclosure presents methods and apparatuses for improved wireless node transmission of advertising beacons based on, for example, the presence of sufficient wireless node resource availability and one or more user equipment (UE) wakeup schedules. For example, the present disclosure describes example methods of advertising beacon transmission by a wireless node, which may include determining that a resource availability opportunity exists for supporting a UE at the wireless node. In another aspect, methods may include tuning to a non-serving channel based on determining that the resource availability opportunity exists. According to such example methods, the non-serving channel may be different from a serving channel of the wireless node. Furthermore, the example methods may include transmitting an advertising beacon on the non-serving channel. Upon successful receipt of the advertising beacon, the UE may scan for the serving channel of the wireless node for subsequent wireless network access.
Abstract:
Methods and devices for communicating in a communication system are described herein. One aspect provides a method of communicating over one or more space-time streams. The method includes transmitting a first stream with a bandwidth of 2 MHz or less. The method further includes transmitting, when there are at least two streams, a second stream with a cyclic shift delay relative to the first stream equal to half a period. The method further includes transmitting, when there are at least three streams, a third stream with a cyclic shift delay relative to one of the first and second stream equal to a quarter of the period. The method further includes transmitting, when there are at least four streams, a fourth stream with a cyclic shift delay relative to the other of the first and second stream equal to a quarter of the period.
Abstract:
A method includes determining, at a first transmitter, whether to permit reuse of a first transmit opportunity (TXOP) associated with a message. The method further includes sending a portion of the message from the first transmitter to a first receiver. The portion of the message indicates whether reuse, by a reuse transmitter, of the first TXOP is permitted. When reuse of the first TXOP is permitted, the reuse transmitter is permitted to send a second message while the first transmitter sends a second portion of the message to the first receiver during the first TXOP.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for concurrently allowing station-to-station transmissions and access point-to-station transmissions are described herein. In some aspects, a method comprises receiving, from a first device, a peer request to send message requesting a first time for transmissions with a second device. The method further comprises reserving the first time for transmissions between the first device and the second device. The method further comprises transmitting a coordination message to the first device and the second device. The coordination message may indicate that the first time is reserved for transmissions between the first device and the second device. The method further comprises transmitting a first data packet to a third device during a time other than the first time. The first device may transmit a second data packet to the second device during the first time.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication are disclosed herein. One aspect of the disclosure provides a method of transmitting on a wireless communication network. The method includes transmitting to one or more first devices in a first portion of a bandwidth, the one or more first devices having a first set of capabilities, simultaneously transmitting to one or more second devices in a second portion of the bandwidth, the one or more second devices having a second set of capabilities, and wherein the transmission comprises a preamble which includes an indication for devices with the second set of capabilities to locate a frequency band in the bandwidth for symbols containing a set of transmission parameters for devices with the second set of capabilities, and where the indication is sent so as to have no substantial impact on a preamble decoding of devices with the first set of capabilities.
Abstract:
The operation of one or more low power/low functionality wireless tags is established in a system, and an external station is then introduced to the system. Communication is established between wireless tags and the external station, wherein the external station directly receives advertised information transmitted from the wireless tags. Various modes of operation include: (1) the external STA is introduced into a system including passive wireless tags, which are associated with a wireless access point (AP); (2) the external STA is introduced into a system including active wireless tags, which are associated with a wireless AP; (3) the external STA is introduced into a system including passive wireless tags, which are not associated with a wireless AP; and (4) the external STA is introduced into a system that includes active wireless tags, which are not associated with a wireless AP.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for managing interference in a transmission medium are disclosed. A apparatus and method may be used to detect a condition experienced by only one of first and second wireless nodes, and modify an operational parameter of one of the first and second wireless nodes, if the condition is detected, such that both the first and second wireless nodes experience the condition or neither the first and second wireless nodes experience the condition.
