Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for multiple user communication are provided. In one aspect, method for wireless communication includes generating a packet comprising a multiple-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) portion and an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) portion. The method further includes transmitting the packet over a packet transmission frequency bandwidth.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for transmitting data are described herein. In some aspects, a method comprises generating a first message. The first message may comprise an allocation of a first station to a first frequency channel and a second station to a second frequency channel. The method further comprises transmitting the first message over the first frequency channel and the second frequency channel. The method further comprises transmitting, after transmission of the first message, a second message to the first station using the first frequency channel. The method further comprises transmitting, after transmission of the first message, a third message to the second station using the second frequency channel.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for modifications to operation of a group of devices utilizing target wakeup times (TWTs).
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for enhancing error protection for wireless transmissions. The apparatus may generally include a processing system configured to generate a first error check value for a packet to be transmitted to another apparatus, the first error check value generated based on a remaining portion of the packet, and generate a second error check value for the packet based on information known or expected by the other apparatus and other information transmitted in the packet. The apparatus may also include a transmitter configured to transmit the packet to the other apparatus, the packet comprising the first and second error check values.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for channel state information feedback are provided. In various aspects, a message is transmitted to one or more wireless communication devices requesting channel state information. In some aspects, a first portion of the message is transmitted according to a first or second, and contains first information intended for a first or second set of wireless communication devices compatible with the first or second format respectively. In some aspects, a second portion of the first message is transmitted according to the second format, and contains second information intended for the second set of wireless communication devices compatible with the second format. In some aspects, this information may comprise at least one of a list of identifiers, a set of parameters for estimating the channel state information estimation, and uplink transmission allocation information.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for transmitting data are described herein. In some aspects, a method comprises generating a first packet. The first packet may comprise a physical layer and a media access control (MAC) layer. The MAC layer may allocate a first station to a primary frequency channel and a second station to a secondary frequency channel. The method further comprises transmitting the first packet to the first station and the second station. The method further comprises transmitting a second packet to the first station using the primary frequency channel. The method further comprises transmitting a third packet to the second station using the secondary frequency channel.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for concurrently allowing station-to-station transmissions and access point-to-station transmissions are described herein. In some aspects, a method comprises receiving, from a first device, a peer request to send message requesting a first time for transmissions with a second device. The method further comprises reserving the first time for transmissions between the first device and the second device. The method further comprises transmitting a coordination message to the first device and the second device. The coordination message may indicate that the first time is reserved for transmissions between the first device and the second device. The method further comprises transmitting a first data packet to a third device during a time other than the first time. The first device may transmit a second data packet to the second device during the first time.
Abstract:
A position location method includes receiving, over a messaging link, a request from an access point of a position location system to perform a ranging operation between a first asset tag and a second asset tag. The method also includes transmitting, by the first asset tag, a first ranging pilot signal on a ranging link to enable the ranging operation between the first asset tag and the second asset tag. The method further includes receiving, by the first asset tag, a second ranging pilot signal on the ranging link from the second asset tag.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for tuning media access parameters are disclosed. In one aspect an access point includes a receiver configured to receive at least one message from a second access point. The access point further includes a processor configured to coordinate with the second access point to select a value of a medium access parameter comprising one of a carrier sense threshold and an energy detection threshold for a wireless station. The processor may generate a message identifying the value of the medium access parameter and may further comprise a transmitter connected to the processor and configured to transmit the message to the station.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for multiple user uplink are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, at a wireless device, a trigger message allocating one or more wireless transmission resources, each resource allocated to a plurality of stations. The method further includes determining whether to transmit over the allocated resources based on a contention procedure. The method further includes selectively transmitting over the allocated resources based on said determining.
