The method includes transmitting, to a first station, a physical layer convergence procedure (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) containing a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) request (MRQ) and receiving, from the first station, a MCS feedback (MFB) in response to the MRQ, wherein the first station is one of destination stations of MU-MIMO transmission performed by the access point, and the MFB includes a recommended MCS value computed, by the first station, on the assumption that the first station, as a member of the destination stations, receives data transmitted over at least one spatial stream allocated to the first station in MU-MIMO transmission.
Abstract:
A method of transmitting a data frame by a station in a wireless local area network (WLAN), A station obtains a transmission opportunity (TXOP) for a bandwidth. The TXOP indicates an interval of time during which the station has a right to initiate frame exchange sequences onto a wireless medium. The station selects a transmit bandwidth parameter of a non-initial data unit of a plurality of data units from available bandwidth parameters. The available bandwidth parameters include a first available bandwidth parameter which is same as a transmit bandwidth parameter of a preceding data unit of the plurality of data units and a second available bandwidth parameter which is narrower than a transmit bandwidth parameter of the preceding data unit. The station transmits, during the TXOP, the non-initial data unit according to the transmit bandwidth parameter of the non-initial data unit.
Abstract:
A method for a wireless local area network performed by an access point (AP) configured to communicate over a primary subchannel and a secondary subchannel. The AP transmits a frame including a quiet channel element to a receiving station. The quiet channel element indicates that the secondary subchannel is to be quieted during a quiet interval in which the AP tests the secondary subchannel for a presence of radar transmissions and the receiving station does not send any frame to the AP. The quiet channel element includes an AP quiet mode field indicating whether a communication to the AP is allowed within the primary subchannel during the quiet interval. The primary subchannel and the secondary subchannel are quieted during the quiet interval if the AP quiet mode field indicates the communication to the AP is not allowed with the primary subchannel during the quiet interval.

Abstract:
A frame transmission method, for receiving data in a wireless local area network. A destination station establishes a direct link with a source station. The destination station receives a first physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) from the source station via the direct link. The destination station receives a second PPDU from a relay station via a relay link. In addition, the second PPDU is received by the relay station from the source station and is forwarded by the relay station to the destination station. Furthermore, the first PPDU includes a sequence field indicating that the second PPDU is to be transmitted via the relay link.
