    摘要: A modified preamble is used by extended devices that operate at higher rates, MIMO or other extensions relative to strict 802.11a-compliant devices. The extended devices might use multiple antenna techniques (MIMO), where multiple data streams are multiplexed spatially and/or multi-channel techniques, where an extended transmitter transmits using more than one 802.11a channel at a time. Such extensions to IEEE 802.11a can exist in extended devices. The modified preamble is usable for signaling, to legacy devices as well as extended devices, to indicate capabilities and to cause legacy devices or extended devices to defer to other devices such that the common communication channel is not subject to unnecessary interference. The modified preamble is also usable for obtaining MIMO channel estimates and/or multi-channel estimates. The modified preamble preferably includes properties that facilitate detection of conventional and/or extended modes (“mode detection”) and provides some level of coexistence with legacy IEEE 802.11a devices.

    摘要: Circuits, methods, and apparatus that provide high-throughput control fields that, among other functions, provide efficient TXOP handoffs in wireless networks. A handoff may be made by setting one or more bits in a field in a QoS frame, such as the HT control or other appropriate field. Various conditions may be placed on a handoff by a granting station. For example, conditions specifying where a station receiving a TXOP handoff may send data, what the receiving station may do with any remaining TXOP, or what types of data may be transmitted by the receiving station may be imposed. These various conditions may be combined or omitted in any logic combination.

    摘要: Improved beamforming techniques are provided for use in MIMO (multiple-input, multiple-output) communication systems, including MIMO-OFDM systems. The techniques include: (1) determining beamforming (BF) weights using a smoothed singular value decomposition (SVD) of the channel matrix; (2) determining BF weights using a power-optimized minimum mean-square error (MMSE) technique when the number of available transmit antennas exceeds the number of signal streams; and (3) determining BF weights using a hybrid SVD-MMSE technique. Additional techniques for reducing the impulse response length of the BF weights and/or normalizing the power per transmit antenna or per data stream may be used in conjunction with these or other beamforming techniques.

    摘要: A method of operating a first wireless device includes sending a first message including a first intent to be a group owner and a value to a second wireless device. In addition, the method includes receiving a second message including a second intent to be the group owner from the second wireless device. Furthermore, the method includes determining which of the first wireless device or the second wireless device should be the group owner based on the first intent, the second intent, and the value.

    摘要: A medium access contention protocol that is highly beneficial in wireless networks and particularly in wireless networks that employ a fixed minimum burst size such as OFDM wireless networks. In one embodiment, a MAC protocol is a demand-assigned protocol that maximizes utilization of the bus medium (the allocated frequency spectrum.) Each data communication device (DCD) in the network communicates with a central access point (AP). Multiple DCDs may request access from the AP in the same request access (RA) burst. Each of the multiple DCDs transmits its access request to the AP within a frequency domain channel in the RA burst that is orthogonal to the frequency domain channels used by the other DCDs requesting access. Each DCD includes channel training information in the access request burst to allow the AP and/or DCD to adapt to rapid variations in channel characteristics.

    摘要: Systems and methods for sharing a single decoder among data streams originating with multiple sources. Error correction coding techniques are modified to facilitate decoding of data from multiple sources multiplexed in the time domain at the decoder input. A single decoder accommodates multiple sources that have been encoded using disparate code rates. One application is an OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) point to multipoint system.
