Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention are drawn to systems, apparatus and methods that perform wireless ranging procedures using EHT frames supporting large bandwidth transmission. Moreover, ranging specifications are expanded for the EHT frame format in order to support BW320 ranging with improved performance and accuracy. Embodiments of the present invention support high-bandwidth BW320 and BW240 wireless ranging using a EHT frame format and support 802.11az ranging using a high efficiency (HE) for 802.11be devices. Long training field (LTF) repetition features and security features are also described for EHT-LTFs, and signaling of preamble puncturing patterns are defined for 320 MHz physical layer protocol data units (PPDUs) carried in the U-SIG field and in Trigger Frames to improve spectrum efficiency and reduce interference, according to embodiments.
Abstract:
A method of transmitting and receiving a HE PPDU and perform channel estimation enhancement is proposed. The HE PPDU comprises legacy preamble, HE-STF, HE-LTF, and data. A beam-change indication indicates if the pre-multiplied beamforming Q-matrix is changed from legacy preamble to H-SFT, HE-LTF, and data portion. A value of 1 indicates that Q matrix is changed. A value of 0 indicates that Q matrix is unchanged and receiver should be safe to combine L-LTF and HE-LTF. The beam-change indication can be used to significantly enhance channel estimation at receiver. When there is no beam-change, receiver does not change operation during HE-STF and HE-LTF such that the channel estimations can rely on the combination of L-LTFs, L-SIG, RL-SIG, HE-SIGAs and HE-LTF.
Abstract:
A communication unit includes: a quadrature transmitter having analog transmit filter(s) for filtering a first quadrature test signal. An analog feedback loopback path selectively first routes the filtered quadrature first test signal to a quadrature receiver. The quadrature receiver has: at least one analog receive filter for further filtering the filtered quadrature first test signal; and a quadrature receive baseband circuit arranged to receive and decode the further filtered quadrature first test signal. The quadrature transmitter is arranged to receive a second quadrature test signal and the analog feedback loopback path selectively routes a filtered quadrature second test signal to the quadrature receiver via a second route such that the quadrature receive baseband circuit is arranged to determine a frequency-dependent quadrature imbalance of at least one component in the transmitter/receiver based on the decoded further filtered first quadrature test signal and the decoded further filtered second quadrature test signal.
Abstract:
A Wi-Fi communication method includes: performing resource allocation for multi-user transmission orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) according to a regulated frequency band boundary and a resource unit (RU) type, and sending information indicative of the resource allocation, where the RU type includes at least one of regular RU (rRU) and distributed-tone RU (dRU), the resource allocation indicates RUs or multiple RUs (MRUs) allocated in a channel, the channel is across the regulated frequency band boundary, and an RU or MRU allocated per user in the channel is not across the regulated frequency band boundary when using rRU.
Abstract:
In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a station (STA). In certain configurations, the STA transmits a request-to-send (RTS) frame in an enhanced long range (ELR) format for obtaining a transmission opportunity (TXOP). The STA receives a first clear-to-send (CTS) frame in the ELR format or a non-ELR format responding to the RTS frame. In response to receiving the first CTS frame, the STA transmits data in the ELR format in the TXOP. In certain configurations, the STA further receives an acknowledgement in the same format as the first CTS frame for responding to the data being transmitted. In certain configurations, prior to transmitting the RTS frame, the STA transmits a CTS-to-Self frame in the non-ELR format.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and devices for performing wireless sensing operations that can accommodate different Rx frequency responses with minimum PHY changes to increase the performance and reliability of wireless sensing in wireless local area network (WLAN) networks. Rx frequency response information can be obtained as channel state information (CSI) in a loopback test and can further be normalized with the total gain in the receiver chain leading to CSI estimation. Moreover, different Rx frequency responses can be categorized into limited groups with underlying circuit conditions based on their frequency response variations. The different Rx frequency responses can be indicated in subfields of a CSI report transmitted to the sensing initiator for performing sensing operations with the sensing responder.

A sensing receiver is configured to perform a sensing measurement and generate a sensing measurement report indicating channel state information (CSI) according to the sensing measurement. The sensing measurement report further indicates one or more categories of a frequency response of the sensing receiver without indicating any gain setting of the sensing receiver. The sensing receiver is also configured to transmit, as a sensing responder, the sensing measurement report to a sensing initiator.
