Abstract: A method for improving multiple-user (MU) multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) acknowledge (ACK) protocol efficiency includes: receiving a sounding frame from a device, sending a feedback response, which includes quantized channel state information (CSI) to the device, receiving an MU physical-layer protocol data unit (PPDU) frame from the device, and in response to receiving the MU PPDU frame, sending an ACK frame to the device without receiving a polling frame prior to the ACK frame.

Abstract: A dedicated calibration device may be utilized by a wireless transceiver device, such as a base station, to compute compensation matrices. The wireless transceiver device and the dedicated calibration device can exchange training sequence signals. Based on the exchanged training sequence signals, the wireless transceiver device and the dedicated calibration device can estimate overall baseband to baseband channel responses taking into account the amplitude and phase responses of the respective transmit and receive radio chains, and the wireless transceiver device can determine the compensation matrices. Furthermore, the wireless transceiver device can estimate a baseband-to-baseband uplink channel response relative to actual user equipment, approximate a downlink channel response using only one of the determined compensation matrices, and perform beamforming to the actual user equipment using the approximated downlink channel response.

Abstract: Selective processing of one or more packets to be transmitted from a wireless communication device to another wireless communication device is effective to reduce the peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmission. The one or more packets are transmitted via two or more sub-bands of an available transmission medium. The number of coefficients or factors within that sequence corresponds to the number of sub-bands via which the one or more packets are to be transmitted. Also, a phase ramp or time-domain cyclic shift may be added to one or more of the packets after having undergone multiplication by one of the coefficients or factors within the sequence.

Abstract: Short training field (STF) for use within single user, multiple user, multiple access, and/or MIMO wireless communications. An STF design as is made such that the power associated with the tone indices at the edges of the STF design is relatively less than the power associated with the tone indices more centrally located within the STF design. Also, when multiple respective operational modes are supported (e.g., 1 MHz and 2 MHz), the respective STF designs corresponding to those respective operational modes have a great deal of similarity. For example, the respective STF designs for different respective operational modes may have certain common STF tone indices among those respective STF designs.
