Abstract:
A unified channel contention scheme is proposed such that spatial reuse can be enabled by a wireless station (STA) when a basic service set (BSS) color of a received signal cannot be resolved. If the detected frame is an intra-BSS frame, then the STA should not contend the channel for the PPDU duration. If the detected frame is an inter-BSS frame, then the STA uses OBSS Packet Detection (OBSS-PD) level as the CCA level for channel contention. Furthermore, when BSS color cannot be resolved, channel contention schemes for WiFi signal and non-WiFi signal are differentiated. If the received signal is detected as WiFi signal, then the STA uses WiFi-SIG Detection (WD) level as the CCA level for channel contention. If the received signal is detected as non-WiFi signal, then the STA uses Non-WiFi-SIG Detection (NWD) level as the CCA level for channel contention.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for clear channel assessment in the Wifi network. In one novel aspect, different clear channel assessment (CCA) threshold value is set for intra-BSS and inter-BSS frames during the counting down process. A CCA procedure senses the radio channel and determines if the radio channel is busy or idle during the backoff period by comparing the signal level value of detected fames with the CCA threshold value. The counting down will be suspended if the radio channel determined to be busy. If the detected frame is inter-BSS frame, the CCA threshold value is raised. If the signal level of the detected frames is lower than the inter-BSS CCA threshold for inter-BSS fames, the radio channel is considered idle. The counting down process is resumed.
Abstract:
Systems and methods of transmitting and receiving a Wake-Up Radio (WUR) packet by using a simplified preamble structure that contains no training field. The preamble carries a signature sequence selected from a set of predefined sequences, each corresponding to a different data transmission rate. The preamble and the control information of the WUR packet are transmitted in the same rate as indicated by the selected sequence. Hence, a receiving WUR can determine the data transmission rate and locate the associated control information directly if a sequence that matches a predefined signature sequence is detected. The same sequence or in combination with an additional sequence in the preamble may also be used to indicate automatic gain control synchronization, packet type and other related information.
