Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices, systems, and computer programs encoded on storage media, for clear channel assessment (CCA) for a wide bandwidth channel. For example, a wide bandwidth channel may have a bandwidth that is greater than 160 MHz bandwidth. An example wide bandwidth channel has a 320 MHz bandwidth. The CCA techniques include detection thresholds that may be used for wide bandwidth channels. In some implementations, a CCA process may be extended to include assessments of extended portions of a wide bandwidth channel (such as a tertiary 80 MHz bandwidth channel and a quaternary 80 MHz bandwidth channel). In some implementations, a CCA process may be extended to use an assessment of a secondary channel of the wide bandwidth channel that has a 160 MHz bandwidth.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for techniques for reducing feedback information in an extremely high throughput (EHT) wireless local area network (WLAN). A receiving device (beamformee), such as a station (STA), may receive a sounding signal from a transmitting device (beamformer), such as an access point (AP), and transmit channel feedback. The receiving device may transmit the channel feedback as part of a reduced compressed beamforming feedback (CBF) operation that includes determining a first set of channel characteristics. The receiving device may select a subset of the first set of channel characteristics and determine a set of differential characteristics based on the subset. The transmitting device may then transmit the sets of characteristics as reduced CBF to the transmitting device. The transmitting device may determine a channel estimation for beamformed signaling based on the reduced CBF.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for implementing a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) protocol in a wireless local area network (WLAN). A station (STA) may send a HARQ transmission to another STA. The HARQ protocol may support the use of different types of feedback from the receiving STA to control the HARQ retransmission process. This disclosure provides example message formats to support HARQ transmission and HARQ feedback in a WLAN.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media for orthogonal multiplexing of high efficiency (HE) and extremely high throughput (EHT) wireless traffic. Devices in a wireless local area network (WLAN) may operate under HE or EHT conditions. An access point (AP) may support both HE and EHT communications with WLAN devices. To enable substantially simultaneous downlink HE and EHT transmissions and substantially simultaneous uplink HE and EHT transmissions, the AP may support orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) of HE and EHT transmissions. For example, pre-HE and pre-EHT modulated fields, HE and EHT modulated fields, and payloads may be aligned in time for the HE and EHT transmissions. The AP may ensure orthogonality for multiplexing the HE and EHT transmissions based on the alignment. In some implementations, a trigger frame may be utilized to indicate uplink transmission alignments.

Abstract: One aspect includes a method of establishing, via a first access point, a distributed MIMO joint transmission opportunity with one or more second access points to one or more stations. The method comprises generating, via a processor, a first message for transmission to the stations and the second access points. The first message indicates a null data packet transmission and the stations configured to receive a stream during the joint transmission opportunity. The method also comprises transmitting the first message to the second access points and the stations. The method further comprises generating, via the processor, a reference phase signal for transmission to the second access points.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for communicating over a wireless communication network. One such apparatus may include a memory and a processor configured to identify a transmission mode for a transmission of a signal; select a tone plan for transmission of the signal within a 320 MHz total channel bandwidth or a 240 MHz total channel bandwidth, where the tone plan includes a 256 point tone plan, 512 point tone plan, 1024 point tone plane, 2048 point tone plan, 4096 point tone plan, and where the tone plan is selected based on the transmission mode; generate the signal according to the tone plan; and transmit the signal over the 320 MHz total channel bandwidth or over the 240 MHz total channel bandwidth. The selected tone plan may include one or more duplicates of an IEEE 802.11ax 80 MHz (HE80) tone plan which may include one or more null space 26 tone resource units.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for multiplexing clients of different generations in trigger-based transmissions, including trigger-based transmissions in extremely-high throughput (EHT) Wi-Fi systems. An access point (AP) may generate a trigger frame compatible with two types of stations (STAs), such as EHT STAs and legacy (or high efficiency (HE)) STAs. The AP may transmit the trigger frame to a group of STAs, where legacy STAs may process the trigger frame a legacy trigger frame. EHT STAs may process the trigger frame to determine resource unit (RU) allocations for uplink transmissions in a bandwidth greater than a legacy bandwidth. An EHT STA may determine the resources in the larger bandwidth based on an EHT RU allocation table, a legacy RU allocation table and an additional bit in the trigger frame, or an ordering of RU allocations in the trigger frame.

Also, a WLAN device may advertise or indicate its 320 MHz bandwidth support capability to other WLAN devices in the WLAN.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. An access point (AP) may configure a preamble for a wireless transmission to include information indicative of a corresponding extremely high throughput (EHT) packet. In some cases, the preamble may be configured to include a signaling field indicative of the EHT packet. In some cases, symbols or bits of the preamble may be configured to indicate the EHT packet. In yet other cases, a field of the packet may be masked to indicate the EHT packet. A wireless station (STA) may receive the configured preamble, and based on the preamble, may receive (e.g., decode) the EHT packet.
