Abstract: A mid-packet detection technique is provided that detects a packet with periodic repetitions of a fixed duration at a point in time of the packet other than a start-of-packet pattern, e.g., a preamble, associated with the packet. The process performs packet detection without detecting a preamble and does not require carrier frequency recovery, timing recovery (synchronization) or channel estimation. In one embodiment, a doubly differential matched filter autocorrelation of the received signal is computed and used as a metric for packet detection when the preamble is not observed or to complement preamble detection. The metric is compared to a threshold to indicate detection of a packet.

Abstract: Access Point (AP) placement using Fine Time Measurement (FTM) may be provided. First, a plurality of Time-of-Flight (ToF) values between a first service end point and a second service end point may be determined. Each one of the plurality of ToF values may be derived from packets transmitted via different beamforming vector patterns at the first service end point and the second service end point. Then a minimum ToF value of the plurality of ToF values may be determined. Next, a distance between the first service end point and the second service end point may be determined based on the minimum ToF value.

Abstract: A method and system for providing location services at a network edge is described. An AP can receive location information associated with a second AP in a location group. The AP can also receive client location data from the second AP and associated with a first client. From at least the received client location data, the AP can determine a location of the first client. The AP can then send the location of the first client to a location service.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe performing AoA resolving to identify a plurality of AoAs corresponding to a multipath signal and then using AP voting to identify a location of the client device. AoA resolving enables an AP to identify the different angles at which a multipath signal reaches the AP. That is, due to reflections, a wireless signal transmitted by a single client device may reach the AP using multiple paths that each has their own AoA. The AP can perform AoA resolving to identify the AoAs for the different paths in a multipath signal. In one embodiment, the AoAs for two APs (or a subset of the APs) can be used to identify cross points or intersection points that represent candidate locations of the client device. A voting module can determine whether those cross points corresponds to AoAs identified by the remaining APs.

Abstract: An electronically a steerable and switchable antenna array is provided that can produce a first beam with a first coverage range and a second beam with a second coverage range by selecting one of a first and a second beamwidth for both the first and second beams; in response to selecting the first beamwidth: switching signal inputs to narrow-beam antenna arrays; steering the first beam to one of a first positive, negative, or zero offset position; independently steering the second beam to one of a second positive, negative offset, or zero offset position; and transmitting signals received from the signal inputs via the first beam and the second beam; and in response to selecting the second beamwidth: switching signal inputs to wide-beam antenna arrays; and transmitting signals received from the signal inputs via the first beam and the second beam.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to synchronize wireless signal transmission by endpoints controlled by a central controller. For example, an example method of wireless communication includes receiving, at a first device, over a wired medium between the first device and a second device, a plurality of packets from the second device. Each of the plurality of packets comprises data representative of a portion of a signal corresponding to a wireless medium. The method further includes receiving, at the first device, from the second device over the wired medium a synchronization signal based on a common master clock at the second device. The method further includes synchronizing, at the first device, a local clock of the first device to the common master clock based on the synchronization signal. The method further includes reconstructing the signal corresponding to the wireless medium based on the plurality of packets and the synchronized local clock.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a technique for Internet of Things (IoT) device location tracking using midambles is provided. A first wireless device in connection with an antenna array may receive one or more first data symbols of a data payload from a second wireless device using a first antenna state that assigns a radio path, used for location estimation, to a first antenna of the antenna array. Subsequent to identifying a first midamble of the data payload, the first wireless device may change the first antenna state to a second antenna state that assigns the radio path to a second antenna of the antenna array. The first wireless device may receive one or more second data symbols of the data payload using the second antenna state. The first wireless device may determine a location of the second wireless device based on location information determined using the radio path.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a central controller controlling multiple radio heads (RHs) in a network. The central controller generates network information for the radio heads based on a probe request transmitted from a network device and received by one or more of the radio heads. The central controller calculates a respective metric value for each of the radio heads based on the network information. The metric value indicates a capability of a radio head to serve the network device. The central controller selects a subset of radio heads from the multiple radio heads to send a probe response to the network device based on the metric values.

Abstract: Techniques are presented herein for computing angle-of-arrival estimates while switching antenna states during a packet unit for the general Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFMDA) case (including a single user). A wireless device computes channel estimates throughout the entire frame and not only during the training symbols. Consequently, the wireless device computes channel estimates for all antennas in its array within a single frame instead of having to wait for multiple frames.
