Abstract: Methods and systems for sounding a wireless network are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, by an access point a message including a beamforming report from a device. The device may be a station that is outside a basic service set of the access point. The method also includes transmitting a message to the device based on the beamforming report. For example, in some aspects, the access point may utilize the beamforming report to perform a coordinated beamforming, multi-access point transmission or a multi-access point MIMO transmission. In some aspects, the access point may transmit an interference nulling signal to the device based on the beamforming report. The nulling signal compensates for another simultaneous transmission by the access point that interferes with the device's reception of a message from an access point with which the device is associated.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Wireless devices may support parallel communications over multiple wireless links, which may benefit a wireless system in terms of throughput and latency (among other benefits). However, such systems may experience increased system complexity, which may in some cases mitigate some of the benefits provided by the parallel communication links. The described techniques provide for aggregation architectures that address various such complexities. For example, devices communicating in accordance with the described techniques may format data to be transmitted into a set of data units that are allocated to a communication link based on various factors described herein. Correspondingly, a device that receives the data packets may reorder the packets in accordance with the described techniques.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for multi-link wireless communication are described. A block acknowledgment (BA) agreement (e.g., a multi-link BA session) may be established based on exchanged multi-link capability information (e.g., a BA window size, BA scoreboarding information, one or more wireless link identifiers, etc.). In some cases, a BA agreement may be established across some or all of the multiple links. In other cases, a BA agreement may be established on a per-link basis. The BA agreement may further establish one or more sets of sequence numbers, as well as scoreboarding techniques used by the transmitting wireless device for the BA session. The wireless device may then transmit packets to another wireless device using multiple links, and receive a BA with acknowledgement information accounting for the transmitted packets according to the established BA agreement. BAs may be transmitted on one link or on multiple links by the receiving device.

Abstract: Methods and systems provide implementations for distributed MIMO communication. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a network message including data indicative of user data for transmission by a first access point to a first station over the wireless network prior to the transmission, generating precoded second data for transmission to the first station based on the data indicative of the user data, and transmitting, the precoded data to a third device. In some aspects, the precode data is transmitted by a second access point of a basic service set different than that of the first station to the first station as part of a distributed MIMO communication. In some other aspects, the precoded data is transmitted by a cluster controller to another access point having a basic service set different than that of the first station. The other access point may then transmit a signal based on the precode data to the first station simultaneously with the fist access point also transmitting to the first station. The two transmissions may form a portion of a distributed MIMO communication.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described, including identifying a first attribute value associated with a first access point; receiving a second attribute value; and determining that the first attribute value associated with the first access point is the same as the received second attribute value. An attribute value may be an n-bit value, where n is an integer. The n-bit value may identify a BSS color. The n-bit value may, additionally or alternatively, indicate other BSS color information such as a BSSID, ESSID, SSID, or a combination thereof. It is helpful when devices detect BSS attribute value (e.g., BSS color, BSSID, MAC address, ESSID) overlap and notify other associated devices (e.g., STAs, APs) of this overlap so that a device may cease using an attribute value for power save or channel access decisions, and facilitate attribute value adjustment and correction to eliminate a BSS collision.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for efficient ranging, for example, in a neighbor aware network (NAN). According to certain aspects, an apparatus for wireless communications is provided. The apparatus generally includes a processing system configured to determine a period that at least one second apparatus is scheduled to be awake, generate a first frame for transmission to the second apparatus during the period, determine ranging information based on a time difference between transmission of the first frame and receipt of a second frame in response to the first frame, and generate a third frame including the ranging information; a transmit interface configured to output the first and third frames for transmission; and a receive interface configured to obtain the second frame. By exchanging ranging information in already scheduled wake-up periods and in existing frame, power consumption and signaling overhead may be reduced.

Abstract: An 802.11ac access point (AP) may be capable of communicating with both 802.11n (on 40 MHz band) and 802.11ac devices (on 80 MHz band). While the 802.11ac AP is communicated with 802.11n devices on 40 MHz band, the remaining 40 MHz band is wasted because the 802.11n devices are not capable of communicating on this band. The AP may operate as if it is two virtual APs, one capable of communicating with 802.11n devices on a first primary and a first secondary channels (basic service set 1—BSS1) and the second communicating with 802.11ac devices on a second primary and a second secondary channels (BSS2). Individual beacons may be sent for BSS1 and BSS2. The transmissions on BSS2 may be performed simultaneously with transmissions on BSS1. However, transmission on one channel and receiving on the second channel cannot happen simultaneously.
