    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: A third device stores a receive signal strength of a received response data unit transmitted by a second device after receiving a first data unit transmitted by a first device. The third device obtains a clear channel access parameter included in a header of a second data unit transmitted by the first device to the second device and detects transmission exchanges in each of a plurality of service sets to use as samples of overlapping service set activity. The third device determines a minimum transmit power to be used by the third device to send a transmission to the fourth device based on transmission exchanges between devices in a particular service set. The third device determines whether to send a transmission to the fourth device based on the clear channel access parameter and minimum transmit power.

    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: An apparatus comprises an antenna array, a block of switches, a programmable logic device and a memory device. The antenna array comprises a plurality of antenna elements. The block of switches is configured to selectively connect respective ones of a subset of the plurality of antenna elements to corresponding ones of a plurality of transceivers in a host device. The programmable logic device is configured to communicate with the host device and to control the block of switches. The memory device is coupled to the programmable logic device, and is configured to store information allowing the host device to determine how to control connectivity of individual antenna elements to respective ones of the plurality of transceivers of the host device as part of transmit and/or receive operations of the host device.

    Abstract: Techniques are presented herein for improving location determination of a wireless device in environments where there can be multipath issues. A wireless device having a plurality of antennas receives a wireless transmission from a target device whose location is to be determined. Channel state information data is generated based on reception of the transmission at the plurality of antenna. The channel state information data is separated or partitioned into subcarrier group specific data for each of a plurality of groups of subcarriers within a bandwidth of the received transmission. Location probability data is computed for each of the plurality of groups of subcarriers from the subcarrier group specific data for respective ones of the plurality of groups of subcarriers. The location probability data for the plurality of groups of subcarriers is combined to produce aggregate location probability data, from which a location of the target device is determined.

    Abstract: A method is provided in which a first wireless access point selects two or more of a plurality of client devices based on similarity of receive signal strength and carrier frequency offset with respect to the first wireless access point, and sends a downlink multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission to the two or more client devices. The downlink multi-user MIMO transmission is configured to solicit acknowledgments from the two or more client devices. The acknowledgments are received at a plurality of antennas of the first wireless access point from the two or more client devices. Uplink multi-user MIMO processing of the acknowledgments is performed from the two or more of the plurality of client devices to recover the acknowledgments respectively from each of the two or more client devices.
