Abstract:
A method includes sending, from a first transmitter to a first receiver, a request to send (RTS) message associated with a first transmit opportunity (TXOP). The RTS message requests the first receiver to indicate whether reuse of the first TXOP is permitted. The method further includes receiving, at the first transmitter from the first receiver, a clear to send (CTS) message responsive to the RTS message.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for high-efficiency wireless frequency division multiplexing are provided. A method includes exchanging, at an access point, at least one frame reserving a wireless medium with at least one of a first and second wireless device. The method further includes receiving a first communication on a first set of wireless frequencies from the first wireless device. The method further includes receiving a second communication, at least partially concurrent with the first communication, on a second set of wireless frequencies from the second wireless device. The method further includes transmitting at least one acknowledgment of the first and second communication. The first set and the second set are mutually exclusive subsets of a set of wireless frequencies available for use by both the first and second wireless device.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication are disclosed herein. One aspect of the disclosure provides a method of receiving a transmission from two or more wireless communication devices. The method includes receiving a first preamble transmitted by a first wireless device; simultaneously receiving a second preamble transmitted by a second wireless device; receiving a first portion of the transmission in a first section of a bandwidth, the first portion transmitted by the first wireless device including a first data section; and simultaneously receiving a second portion of the transmission in a second section of the bandwidth, the second section of the bandwidth not overlapping with the first section of the bandwidth, the second portion transmitted by the second wireless device, the second portion including a second data section.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for selecting medium access parameters for each communication session are disclosed. In one aspect an access point includes a processor configured to select a value for a medium access parameter for a particular communication session between the access point and a wireless station.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for formatting frames in neighborhood aware networks are described herein. One aspect of the subject matter described in the disclosure provides a method of communicating in a wireless neighborhood aware network (NAN). The method includes determining at least one connection setup information element indicating one or more connection parameters of the NAN. The method further includes determining at least one service identifier of the NAN. The method further includes generating a public action discovery frame comprising the at least one connection setup information element and the at least one service identifier. The method further includes transmitting, at a wireless device, the public action discovery frame.
Abstract:
In one aspect, a method of communicating via a wireless medium by a wireless communications apparatus within a network is provided. The method includes detecting an operating characteristic associated with a load of the network. The method further includes determining an process for adjusting a size of a contention window in response to a successful transmission of a frame based on the detected operating characteristic, the contention window being provided for determining a deferral period for deferring access to the wireless medium. The method further transmitting information indicating the process to one or more wireless devices operating within the network.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for communicating in a wireless communication system are described. Various processes for detecting and correcting communication errors described. In aspect a method in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes transmitting a first packet from a sending device to a receiving device. The method further includes listening for an acknowledgement during a first time period. The method further includes transmitting a second packet to the receiving device after a second time period, when an acknowledgement is not received during the first time period. The second packet includes one or more error-correction codes operable to recover the first packet.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication are disclosed. In one implementation an apparatus for wireless communications is provided. The apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive a wake-up message that is a portion of a wake-up sequence. In certain implementations, the apparatus further includes a processing system operably coupled to the receiver and configured to wake the receiver for a period of time. The period of time can exceed at least a transmission period of the wake-up sequence plus a transmission period of the wake-up message. The apparatus can further include a transmitter configured to transmit a message acknowledging receipt of the wake-up message.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for communicating data in a wireless communications network are described herein. One innovative aspect of the present disclosure includes a method of communicating in a wireless network. The wireless network includes an access point and a relay. The method includes indicating to a client, at the relay, a network address of the access point. The method further includes receiving an association request, from the client, addressed to the access point. The method further includes forwarding the association request to the access point.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for communicating data in a wireless communications network are described herein. In some aspects, a relay is configured to receive at least one first parameter advertised by a first potential parent relay and at least one second parameter advertised by a second potential parent relay. The relay may be further configured to select the first potential parent relay or the second potential parent relay to relay one or more packets based on the at least one first parameter advertised by the first potential parent relay and the at least one second parameter advertised by the second potential parent relay.
