摘要:
Group identification and definition within multiple user, multiple access, and/or MIMO wireless communications. A group identification definition field may be transmitted to a number of receiving devices for use in interpreting current or subsequently received packets that include a group identification field (group ID). The group ID can serve a number of functions such as indicating those receiving devices for which the packet is intended, the identification of fields within the packet corresponding to the various devices, certain parameters (e.g., code type, code rate, modulation type, etc.) associated with such fields within the packet, etc. The group identification definition field may be updated or modified to allow for modification of the manner in which subsequent packets, including respective group IDs, are processed. One of a variety of events may direct the group identification definition field may be updated or modified.

Adaptive and selective frame formats within multiple user, multiple access, and/or multiple input multiple output (MIMO) wireless communications. A reconfigurable channel circuitry, that may be implemented to communicate with one, a subset, or all of various blocks within a communication device provides for adaptive and selective frame formatting of communications between the communication device and other communication devices. In a wireless communication device context, and also in the context of multiple user, multiple access, and/or MIMO communications (e.g., multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) and/or orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), etc.), frame formatting may be adapted in accordance with a number of parameters including: the one or more users with which communications are to be made, the clusters (e.g., channel, band, frequency, etc.) employed for such communications, the one or more antennae (e.g., within a multi-antenna architecture) employed for such communications, and/or any other parameters.
摘要:
Transmission coordination within multiple user, multiple access, and/or MIMO wireless communications. Within wireless communication systems, there can be various wireless communication devices therein that are not all compliant with a common capability set, communication protocol, communication standard, recommended practice, etc. For example, some communication systems may have some wireless communication devices characterized as ‘legacy’ wireless communication devices, and other wireless communication devices therein may be newer and compliant with newer capability sets, communication protocols, communication standards, recommended practices, etc. In such instances, coordination of transmissions among the various wireless communication devices may be made, when performing simultaneous transmissions, by ensuring that transmissions of devices on different channels is made when aligned on a common boundary of an OFDM symbol. Alternatively, such simultaneous transmissions may be made when offset by some multiple of OFDM symbol duration. When performing non-simultaneous transmissions, transmissions may be made based on channel availability.
摘要:
Cluster parsing for signaling within multi-user wireless communication systems. Cluster assignment allows for complete flexibility across a variety of operational parameters in accordance with communications provided from a transmitting wireless communication device to a number of receiving wireless communication devices. For example, an access point (AP) may communicate to a number of wireless stations (STAs) in accordance with multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO), orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), and/or MU-MIMO/OFDMA. The selectivity may involve employing different antenna for communicating with each of the respective, receiving wireless communication devices. Also, the formation of a cluster employed in such communications may involve using as few as one channel within one band, different channels within a single band, different channels within different bands, or other combinations. Signaling corresponding to different clusters may be transmitted using different antenna or different groups of antennae.

摘要:
Transmission acknowledgement within multi-user wireless communication systems. Within multi-access wireless communication systems such as those operating in accordance with multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO), orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), and/or MU-MIMO/OFDMA, acknowledgement of receipt (e.g., using ACKs) is provided back to the sending or transmitting wireless communication device from each (or a subset) of the intended recipient wireless communication devices. Appropriate coordination of these ACKs from the respective, receiving wireless communication devices may be performed using instructions embedded within a multi-user packet that is provided to the receiving wireless communication devices. Alternatively, polling as effectuated by the sending or transmitting wireless communication device may be used to give explicit direction to the respective, receiving wireless communication devices of the manner by which their respective ACKs should be provided to the transmitting wireless communication device.
