Abstract:
A method for high efficiency wireless communication is provided. In one aspect, a method of high efficiency wireless communication includes generating, at an access point, a message for transmission over at least one channel. The message includes a first signal field indicative of a length of the first message after the first signal field. The message further includes a second signal field indicative of at least one channel assignment. The second signal field has a length based on a minimum allocation size. The method further includes transmitting the message to one or more wireless devices.
Abstract:
Systems and method for concurrent communication using high efficiency wifi are disclosed. One aspect is a method of transmitting a wireless message on a medium utilizing carrier sense multiple access (CSMA). The method includes receiving, via a first wireless device, at least a portion of a first wireless message from a second wireless device, the message including an indication of a basic service set of the second wireless device. The method also includes determining whether to defer transmission of a second wireless message based, at least in part, on the basic service set of the second wireless device.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for wireless communication. A method for wireless communication at an access point may include identifying a number of stations to receive data from the access point, and generating a downlink frame to transmit the data to the identified number of stations. The downlink frame may include a first signaling field (e.g., a wireless local area network (WLAN) signaling field) directed to the identified number of stations. The first signaling field may include a first segment and a second segment. The first segment may include information common to each of the identified number of stations. The second segment may include at least one information block. Each information block may be separately encoded for each of the identified number of stations. The method may also include transmitting the downlink frame to the identified number of stations.

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:
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.

Systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication are disclosed herein. One aspect of the disclosure provides a method of receiving a transmission from two or more wireless communication devices. The method includes receiving a first preamble transmitted by a first wireless device; simultaneously receiving a second preamble transmitted by a second wireless device; receiving a first portion of the transmission in a first section of a bandwidth, the first portion transmitted by the first wireless device including a first data section; and simultaneously receiving a second portion of the transmission in a second section of the bandwidth, the second section of the bandwidth not overlapping with the first section of the bandwidth, the second portion transmitted by the second wireless device, the second portion including a second data section.
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:
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.
