Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media for orthogonal multiplexing of high efficiency (HE) and extremely high throughput (EHT) wireless traffic. Devices in a wireless local area network (WLAN) may operate under HE or EHT conditions. An access point (AP) may support both HE and EHT communications with WLAN devices. To enable substantially simultaneous downlink HE and EHT transmissions and substantially simultaneous uplink HE and EHT transmissions, the AP may support orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) of HE and EHT transmissions. For example, pre-HE and pre-EHT modulated fields, HE and EHT modulated fields, and payloads may be aligned in time for the HE and EHT transmissions. The AP may ensure orthogonality for multiplexing the HE and EHT transmissions based on the alignment. In some implementations, a trigger frame may be utilized to indicate uplink transmission alignments.

Abstract: Certain aspects relate to methods and apparatus for wireless communication. The apparatus generally includes a first interface configured to output one first frame for transmission to solicit CSI feedback from each of one or more first wireless nodes associated with a first BSS and from each of one or more second wireless nodes associated with a second BSS, a second interface configured to obtain the CSI feedback solicited from the first and second wireless nodes, and a processing system configured to generate data frames for the first wireless nodes based on the CSI feedback solicited from the first wireless nodes, and one or more nulling frames based on the CSI feedback solicited from the second wireless nodes. The first interface is configured to simultaneously output the data frames for beamformed transmission to the first wireless nodes, and the nulling frames for beamformed transmission to the second wireless nodes.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and computer program products for improving training field design in packets with increased symbol durations are disclosed. In one aspect, a method of transmitting a packet on a wireless communication network is disclosed. The method includes transmitting a preamble of the packet over one or more space-time-streams, the preamble including one or more training fields configured to be used for channel estimation, the one or more training fields each comprising one or more symbols of a first symbol duration. The method further includes transmitting a payload of the packet over the one or more space-time-streams, the payload comprising one or more symbols of a second symbol duration, the second symbol duration greater than the first symbol duration.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for partial bandwidth feedback based on punctured sounding. Punctured sounding is used by a transmitting device that omits portions of a channel bandwidth based on a puncturing pattern. The puncturing pattern may be based on an exclusion bandwidth zone to avoid transmissions on portions of channels that may interfere with an incumbent system transmission. The puncturing pattern may be indicated in a null data packet announcement (NDPA) to inform the receiving device that a subsequent NDP will be punctured. The receiving device may determine the feedback by measuring the portions of the NDP that are not punctured. Beamforming may be enhanced by using punctured sounding between two beamforming endpoints.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. An access point (AP) may transmit, to a second AP and during a first portion of a transmission opportunity (TxOP), a request to participate in a multi-user (MU) transmission. The AP may receive, from the second AP and during the first portion of the TxOP, an indication of intent to participate in the MU transmission during the second portion of the TxOP, the indication of intent including a resource request of the second AP for participation in the MU transmission. The AP may transmit, during an initial period of the second portion of the TxOP, a trigger signal to the second AP indicating a set of one or more resources for the second AP during the MU transmission. The AP may participate, in conjunction with the second AP and during the second portion of the TxOP, in the MU transmission.

Abstract: A method for wireless communication is provided. The method includes receiving, at a wireless device, a packet including a first field over a first number of tones, and a second field over a second number of tones. The second number of tones is greater than the first number of tones by a number of one or more edge tones carrying data. The method further includes determining at least one of a communication mode and a channel estimation based at least in part on the one or more edge tones carrying data.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a wireless device including one or more processors and a memory storing processor-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the wireless device to perform operations. The operations include receiving a first message indicating a reuse transmission opportunity associated with a downlink transmission from a first device to a second device. The operations further include determining to participate in the reuse transmission opportunity based at least in part on the downlink transmission. The operations further include, during the reuse transmission opportunity, transmitting uplink communications to the first device concurrently with the downlink transmission from the first device to the second device in the same frequency channel.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides various aspects related to techniques for generating trigger frames, at an access point (AP), that reduce the overhead associated with triggering an uplink transmission from the wireless station (STA). Features of the present disclosure achieve this by, for example, utilizing a single per-user information field of the trigger to signal a plurality of random access resource units that may be allocated to the one or more STAs in the network. Such a technique is an improvement over the conventional system that require each random access resource unit to be signaled separately in a separate per-user information field (thus increasing the overhead). Additionally, aspects of the present disclosure allow the AP to effectively signal to the STA whether the one or more resources allocated to the at least one STA are a single user resource unit allocation or a multi-user resource unit allocation.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for communicating over a wireless communication network. A wireless communication device may be configured to generate and transmit a message according to a tone plan for transmission to multiple destination devices within one of a 240 or 320 MHz channel bandwidth. The message may include a short training field (STF) and a long training field (LTF). The STF may be used by a receiver to adjust an automatic gain control (AGC) function. The LTF may be used for channel estimation. In some implementations, the STF may have a data tone plan formed from a concatenated sequence of sub-STFs. A phase rotation applied to at least one of the sub-STFs of the concatenated sequence may reduce a peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) of the message as compared to a non- phase rotated concatenated sequence of sub-STFs.
