Abstract: Various methods and apparatus are directed to collision detection and/or avoidance regarding peer to peer connection identifiers. A wireless communications device broadcasts a signal indicating its acquired connection identifier in one of two alternative blocks. A base station monitors peer to peer signaling in its coverage area and tracks the usage of peer to peer connection identifiers by pairs of devices. The base station detects when multiple pairs of devices are using the same peer to peer connection identifier. The base station provides assistance to the peer to peer network to avoid a collision or facilitate rapid collision detection by the peer to peer devices. In one approach the base station sends an instruction for a connection to switch its connection identifier. In another approach the base station sends a connection a message to bias its selection as to which of the two alternative blocks to use for transmission.

Abstract: A hybrid communications system implements different communication technologies to communicate data and information for particular communications directions in different portions of the system. Power line communications (PLC) signaling is used to deliver data and information from a gateway device to a light access point. Visible light communications (VLC) signaling is used to communicate data and information from the light access point to a user equipment (UE) device. Wireless radio signaling, wireless infrared (IR) signaling, or a combination of wireless IR signaling and PLC signaling is used to communicate data/information from the UE device to the gateway device. To efficiently control the VLC communications channel between the light access point and UE device, the UE device measures the VLC channel, e.g., calculating SNRs on a per VLC tone basis, and communicating VLC channel quality feedback information to the gateway device, which is forwarded to the light access point.

Abstract: A method of data encoding is disclosed. An encoder receives a set of information bits and performs an LDPC encoding operation on the set of information bits to produce a codeword based on a matched lifted LDPC code. The matched lifted LDPC code is based on a commutative lifting group and includes a number of parity bits and a submatrix to determine values of the parity bits. An order of the lifting group (Z) corresponds with a size of the lifting. A determinant of the submatrix is a polynomial of the form: ga+(g0+gL)P, where g0 is the identity element of the group, g0=gL2k, and P is an arbitrary non-zero element of a binary group ring associated to the lifting group.

Abstract: Various exemplary methods and apparatus are directed to using Visible Light Communication (VLC) in a downlink, e.g., a supplemental downlink, in combination with a wireless radio downlink/ uplink pair. A gateway is coupled, via a wireline link, to a VLC access point. In some embodiments, the gateway includes a wireless radio base station. A user equipment device detects a visible light signal from the VLC access point, and transmits a radio signal to a communications device, e.g., a gateway including a base station or a macro base station, indicating that the UE device is in a VLC coverage area. The gateway configures the VLC access point to serve as a supplemental wireless cell which supports downlink communications. The gateway sends traffic signals to the VLC access point, via the wireline, which are converted by the VLC access point into VLC signals which are transmitted. The UE device receives VLC downlink traffic signals and transmits a corresponding acknowledgment signal via an uplink radio channel.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for low-density parity check (LDPC) coding. Some aspects more specifically relate to extending LDPC codewords to produce longer codewords. In some examples, a first wireless device may generate a baseline LDPC code by performing a first lifting on a base matrix, which may produce an LDPC code used for a current Wi-Fi implementation. The first wireless device may then perform a second lifting or a re-lifting (such as a cyclic lifting, a product lifting, a swapping lifting, or a combination thereof) to generate an extended lifted code. This extended lifted code may be an extension of the first LDPC code such that the first LDPC code may be preserved as part of the extended code. Then first wireless device may then transmit the extended LDPC code as an extended or lifted codeword.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to techniques for compactly describing lifted low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. A method by a transmitting device generally includes selecting a first lifting size value and a first set of lifting values; generating a first lifted LDPC code by applying the first set of lifting values to interconnect edges in copies of a parity check matrix (PCM) having a first number of variable nodes and a second number of check nodes; determining a second set of lifting values for generating a second lifted LDPC code for a second lifting size value based on the first lifted PCM and the first set of lifting values; encoding a set of information bits based the first lifted LDPC code or the second lifted LDPC code to produce a code word; and transmitting the code word.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless communication device may identify a first set of bits associated with a first set of modulation layers. The wireless communication device may interleave a second set of bits associated with a second set of modulation layers to obtain an interleaved second set of bits. The wireless communication device may generate a combined set of bits based at least in part on combining the second set of bits and at least a portion of the first set of bits. The wireless communication device may perform a transmission based at least in part on the combined set of bits and the second set of bits. Numerous other aspects are described.
