摘要:
Techniques to efficiently schedule and serve stations in a wireless network are described. An access point may aggregate stations with flows carrying traffic having similar characteristics, e.g., VoIP flows. The access point may schedule these stations together in an overall service period. The access point may serve each station in a respective service period within the overall service period. The access point may send a multi poll frame at the start of the overall service period to indicate the start time and/or service period for each station. Each station may decide to power down until its start time. The service periods for the stations may overlap one another. The service period for each station may cover an initial transmission as well as additional transmission and/or retransmission. If additional transmission and/or retransmission are not needed for a given station, then the next station may be served right away.

Certain embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for establishing direct link setup (DLS) connections between stations in a wireless local area network (WLAN). The DLS connections may be established in a manner that helps avoid collisions with transmissions from hidden stations.

Techniques for improving power saving by stations (120x) in wireless networks (100) are described. In an aspect, a source station receives a frame with information on transmission opportunity (TXOP) bursting receive capability of a recipient station operating in a power save mode. The source station performs channel access at the start of a TXOP and sends multiple data frames in the TXOP to the recipient station based on the TXOP bursting receive capability of the recipient station.

Techniques to support beamforming for stations in a wireless network are described. In one aspect, a station may support beamforming with implicit feedback or explicit feedback by having capabilities to transmit and receive sounding frames, respond to training request by sending a sounding frame, and respond to request for explicit feedback. In one design of explicit beamforming, the station may send a first frame with a request for explicit feedback and may also send a Null Data Packet (NDP) having at least one training field but no data field. The station may receive a second frame with the explicit feedback, which may be derived based on the NDP. The station may derive steering information (e.g., steering matrices) based on the explicit feedback and may then send a steered frame with beamforming based on the steering information. The station may also perform implicit beamforming using NDP for sounding.

Techniques for quickly sending feedback information for beamforming are described. A transmitter/initiator sends a first frame comprising training symbols. A receiver/responder receives the first frame, determines the amount of time to generate feedback information, and determines the amount of time to send the feedback information. The receiver then determines the length of a second frame carrying the feedback information based on the amounts of time to generate and send the feedback information. The receiver sends the second frame after waiting a short interframe space (SIFS) period from the end of the first frame, without performing channel access. The receiver generates the feedback information based on the training symbols and sends the information in the second frame when ready. The transmitter receives the second frame, derives at least one steering matrix based on the feedback information, and sends a third frame with the at least one steering matrix.

The application relates to a method for constructing a self-configuring ad-hoc network. The method can include receiving a GPS coordinate from a node through a WWAN channel at a management system and creating an initial topography based at least in part on the GPS coordinate to achieve a network connectivity with diverse routes between a plurality of nodes.

A method for wireless communications, comprising receiving, via a second communication link, feedback for packets sent in a first data transmission via a first communication link; estimating signal-to-noise-and-interference ratio (SNR) of the first communication link based on an estimated SNR of the second communication link, an asymmetric parameter indicating a difference in channel quality between the first and second communication links, and at least one back-off factor used to used to reduce the SNR estimate from an average SNR; adjusting at least one back-off factor based on the received feedback; and selecting a rate for a second data transmission based on the estimated channel quality of the first communication link as well as a corresponding apparatus.
