    Abstract: A method of determining the location of a mobile computing device includes measuring a first time of flight (ToF) value and a first value of received energy of direct path (EDP) (PR) of a number of acknowledgement (ACK) packets received in response to a number of first probe packets sent to a first mobile device. The method calculates a preliminary distance value (d0) using a ToF-based distance equation, selects an ACK packet with a distance closest to d0 from the number of ACK packets, calculates an initial path loss exponent (γ0) of the selected ACK packet sample using d0 and PR. With the access point, the method also includes measuring a second PR for a second number of ACK packets received in response to a number of second probe packets sent to the first mobile device, calculates a supplemental distance value using an EDP-based distance equation and the γ0, and determines the location of the mobile device using multilateration and the supplemental distance value.

    Abstract: Described herein are techniques for determining a location of a disconnected device. In an example, a method includes instructing a first access point to sniff a wireless channel for probe request packets from disconnected devices, and instructing the first access point to send a distance-probing packet to a disconnected device after receiving a probe request packet from the disconnected device. The method further includes receiving, from the first access point, a MAC address of the disconnected device determined from the received probe request packet. After receiving the MAC address from the first access point, a group of access points is instructed to send distance-probing packets to the disconnected device. The method further includes receiving, from the first access point and the group of access points, time-of-flight measurements associated with the disconnected device. A location of the disconnected device can be determined using the time-of-flight measurements.

    Abstract: An example system includes a transceiver. The transceiver communicates multicast frames to a plurality of client devices in a multicast group. The system further includes a controller. The controller determines that a predetermined time has passed since the transceiver most recently sent a unicast transmission to one of the plurality of client devices. The controller instructs the transceiver to transmit a unicast frame to the one of the plurality of client devices. The controller computes a data rate for the one of the plurality of client devices based on the transmission of the unicast frame to the one of the plurality of client devices.

    Abstract: A set of antennas is selected from a plurality of antennas for transmitting data streams on a plurality of subcarriers based on channel state information of a communications channel between the plurality of antennas and a plurality of receive antennas at a client device, a number of the data streams to be transmitted, and a channel coherence time of the communications channel. A size of the set is equal to or greater than the number of data streams.
