摘要:
A first system receives N data transmissions from a second system. The first system combines N ACK/NACK responses, corresponding to the N data transmissions received, and encodes the combined N ACK/NACK responses by selecting a position of a communication channel over which the first system sends ACK/NACK transmissions to the second system and setting a value for each bit sent during each ACK/NACK transmission based on the combined N ACK/NACK responses. The first system sends the bits at the selected position of the communication channel. The second system, upon receiving the bits sent at the selected position of the communication channel, decodes the N ACK/NACK responses based on the position at which the bits are sent and the bits.

Disclosed is a wireless station having a receiver and a network allocation vector associated with each of a plurality of directional antennas. The receivers concurrently listen for frames from remote stations. When any receiver detects a frame from a remote station, the receiver activates its associated NAV. The station has one or more transmitters that can transmit using the antennas. While transmitting a signal using an antenna, the receivers associated with any non-transmitting antennas continue to listen for signals from remote stations. The station cancels any signals from the transmitting antenna received by the non-transmitting antennas. To perform the cancellation, the station performs a self-calibration procedure. The station can self-calibrate by either silencing neighboring stations or by inserting null tones into a transmitted calibration signal.

A beamforming method including selecting a first transmission site from a plurality of transmission sites (108a, 108b, 108c) based on the quality of a first channel between the first transmission site and an endpoint or terminal (110). The method further includes determining a first precoding matrix corresponding to the first transmission site. The first precoding matrix may be applied to data transmitted by the first transmission site to the endpoint. The method further includes determining a second precoding matrix corresponding to a second transmission site of the plurality of transmission sites. The second precoding matrix may be determined based on at least a first spatial direction that is calculated based on at least the first channel.

According to one embodiment, a method for wireless communication comprises providing, at a base station, a plurality of endpoints with access to a wireless network. The method also comprises the base station entering a low power mode, wherein the base station ceases to provide the plurality of endpoints with access to the wireless network while in the low power mode. In addition, the method comprises the base station transitioning to an active mode from the low power mode during a first predetermined time, wherein the first predetermined time is identified by the base station and at least one endpoint before the base station transitions to the active mode. Further, if the base station receives a request to access the wireless network from at least one endpoint after transitioning to the active mode during a second predetermined time, the method comprises the base station remaining in the active mode. If the base station does not receive a request to access the wireless network from at least one endpoint after transitioning to the active mode during the second predetermined time, the method comprises the base station transitioning to the low power mode.
摘要:
A transmission method for use in a multi-hop wireless communication system, the system comprising a source apparatus, a destination apparatus and one or more intermediate apparatuses, said source apparatus being operable to transmit information along a series of links forming a communication path extending from the source apparatus to the destination apparatus via the or each intermediate apparatus, and the or each intermediate apparatus being operable to receive information from a previous apparatus along the path and to transmit the received information to a subsequent apparatus along the path, the system having access to at least one predetermined transmission introduction sequence and also having access to a time-frequency format for use in assigning available transmission frequency bandwidth during a discrete transmission interval, said format defining a plurality of transmission windows within such an interval, each window occupying a different part of that interval and having a frequency bandwidth profile within said available transmission frequency bandwidth over its part of that interval, each said window being assignable for such a transmission interval to at least one of said apparatuses for use in transmission, the method comprising: when transmitting a message with a preamble in a particular transmission interval, transmitting the preamble in a first transmission window of that transmission interval; and transmitting the or one of the transmission introduction sequences in a second transmission window of that transmission interval other than the first transmission window preferably as control information for use by at least one said intermediate apparatus or the destination apparatus.
摘要:
A method of mapping transmission stations in a wireless network groups the transmission stations such that all transmission stations in the same group transmit a sounding signal at the same time. A method of grouping transmission stations in a wireless network includes sorting (1000) the transmission stations in descending order according to the number of unmapped transmission links, evaluating (2000) the transmission stations based on how many unmapped transmission links can be mapped if the evaluated transmission station is made to transmit a sounding signal, placing (3000) the transmission stations into groups, based on the evaluations, until all of the transmission links are mapped or until the maximum number of sounding bands is used, and if all of the transmission links are not mapped, repeating (4000) the sorting, evaluating, and placing for each time symbol until all of the transmission links are mapped.
