Abstract:
Techniques pertaining to transmission methods of resource unit (RU) duplication and tone repetition for Enhanced Long Range (ELR) communications are described. An apparatus (e.g., station (STA)) generates a resource unit (RU) or multi-RU (MRU). The apparatus then performs an ELR communication wirelessly with either or both of: (a) duplication of the RU or MRU; and (b) repetition of tones of the RU or MRU.
Abstract:
Techniques pertaining to multi-link operation (MLO) assisted 60 GHz beamforming training and data transmission in wireless communications are described. An apparatus (e.g., as a 60 GHz-capable MLO station (STA)) performs MLO assisted 60 GHz operations by: (i) performing discovery and association; and (ii) performing either or both of beamforming training and data transmission in a 60 GHz band.
Abstract:
Techniques pertaining to designs of channelization of the 60 GHz band for next-generation wireless local area networks (WLANs) are described. A first apparatus communicates in a 60 GHz band wirelessly with a second apparatus by communicating with a channelization design of the 60 GHz band having a channel center frequency being equal to (a channel starting frequency+ΔF)+ΔF*channelIndex, with ΔF denoting a half of a channel spacing and with channelIndex denoting a channel index value.
Abstract:
A method of transmitting and receiving a HE PPDU and perform channel estimation enhancement is proposed. The HE PPDU comprises legacy preamble, HE-STF, HE-LTF, and data. A beam-change indication indicates if the pre-multiplied beamforming Q-matrix is changed from legacy preamble to H-SFT, HE-LTF, and data portion. A value of 1 indicates that Q matrix is changed. A value of 0 indicates that Q matrix is unchanged and receiver should be safe to combine L-LTF and HE-LTF. The beam-change indication can be used to significantly enhance channel estimation at receiver. When there is no beam-change, receiver does not change operation during HE-STF and HE-LTF such that the channel estimations can rely on the combination of L-LTFs, L-SIG, RL-SIG, HE-SIGAs and HE-LTF.

Abstract:
Techniques pertaining to transmission methods for hybrid power modes in 6 GHz frequency band in wireless communications are described. An apparatus (e.g., station (STA)) generates one or more resource unit (RUs). The apparatus then communicates wirelessly using the one or more RUs with a hybrid of power modes.

Techniques pertaining to multi-user multiple-input-multiple-output (MU-MIMO) transmission with mixed bandwidths and unequal modulation (UEQM) in wireless communications are described. An apparatus allocates a plurality of resource units (RUs) to a plurality of stations (STAs). The apparatus then performs mixed-bandwidth MU-MIMO communications with the plurality of STAs using the plurality of RUs.
Abstract:
Various schemes pertaining to short training field (STF) sequence design for wide bandwidths in wireless communications are described. A processor of an apparatus generates an STF of a physical-layer protocol data unit (PPDU) by using a predefined STF base sequence. The processor then performs a wireless communication in a 240 MHz, 480 MHz or 640 MHz bandwidth with the PPDU.
Abstract:
A wireless communicating method includes: performing one resource unit allocation upon a channel; and allocating a first resource unit and a second resource unit in said one resource unit allocation to a station, wherein the first resource unit is different from the second resource unit. By using the wireless communication method, throughput rate can be improved.
Abstract:
A method of sub-channel feedback in OFDMA systems is provided. A wireless receiving device (STA) receives a radio signal from a transmitting device (AP) over a wide channel in an OFDMA system. The radio signal is transmitted over multiple sub-channels of the wide channel. The STA estimates channel quality information based on the received radio signal for each sub-channel. The STA then sends feedback information to the transmitting device. The feedback information comprises the estimated channel quality information for a selected subset of sub-channels from the wide channel based on a predefined rule. In one embodiment, the feedback information is embedded within an ACK/BA frame or is carried in a frame immediately subsequent to the ACK/BA frame.
