Abstract: A first wireless device (e.g., an access point) receives a message from a second wireless device (e.g., a client device). The first device determines an angle-of-arrival of the message at a plurality of antennas of the first wireless device. The first device compares the angle-of-arrival with an angle-of-arrival threshold to determine whether to transmit a response message to the second wireless device. In one example, the first wireless device is a wireless access point device operating in a wireless network, the second wireless device is a wireless client device operating in the wireless network, the message is a probe request message and the response message is a probe response message.

Abstract: In a wireless local area network, each of multiple access points, in a high density deployment, are configured to suppress co-channel interference. A first access point having a plurality of antennas beamforms a transmission to a wireless client device within a null-space or with the weakest singular eigenmodes of a wireless channel between the first access point and at least one co-channel second access point. Techniques are presented herein for situations in which any given access point has two or more co-channel access points. In addition, an access point may perform receive side suppression with respect to a transmission (made by a co-channel access point to one of its associated wireless client devices) that is received from that co-channel access point.

Abstract: A set of receiver path circuits is allocated for processing a radio-frequency (RF) signal provided by receive antennas coupled to the receiver path circuits. The RF signal may belong to a first signal class, such as Wi-Fi. A first gain control signal is applied to each of the allocated receiver path circuits to condition a signal level of the RF signal for the first signal class. A second gain control signal is applied to another set of receiver path circuits coupled to the receive antennas to condition the RF signal of a second signal class. First receive gain control signals are generated from the RF signals of the first signal class by the allocated set of the receiver path circuits. The first receive gain control signals are configured to optimize the signal level for processing the first signal class. A second receive gain control signal is generated to optimize the signal level of the RF signal for the second signal class.

Abstract: A first device having a plurality of antennas wirelessly transmits multiple series of test packets to a second device having one or more antennas, each series of test packets being transmitted with a different level of interference imposed on the test packets. The first device determines a packet error rate for each series of test packets transmitted by the first device. The first device derives an estimate of an interference cancellation capability of the second device based on the packet error rate for different levels of interference.

Abstract: A first device explicitly sounds a wireless channel with respect to a second device even when the second device cannot sound all the antenna/transmit paths of the first device. The first device has a first plurality of antennas and corresponding transmitters and the second device has a second plurality antennas and corresponding receivers. The first device wirelessly transmits a plurality of sounding frames to the second device such that at least one of the first plurality of antennas is kept constant across the plurality of sounding frames. The first device receives from the second device at least one feedback message containing channel matrix information derived from reception of the sounding frames at the second plurality of antennas of the second device. The first device derives a full wireless channel estimate between the first plurality of antennas of the first device and the second plurality of antennas of the second device.
