Abstract: Uplink requests for bandwidth and/or other types of communication resources are provided. In some embodiments, a communication device can access a mapping between quality of service (QoS) metrics and communication resources. The communication device can determined a value of the QoS (e.g., a guaranteed rate, a defined traffic priority, an amount of buffered data, etc.) and can determine a communication resource element using at least the mapping and the value of the QoS metric. The communication device also can configure an uplink request for communication resources based at least on the communication resource element. In addition, the communication device can send the uplink request.

Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and computer readable media for resource allocation are disclosed. A high-efficiency wireless local-area network (HEW) master station is disclosed. The HEW master device may include circuitry configured to generate one or more resource allocations for each station of a plurality of stations. Each resource allocation may include an address of a corresponding station, a channel index to indicate a channel of a plurality of pre-defined channels of a bandwidth, and a sub-channel index to indicate the sub-channel bandwidth. If the sub-channel bandwidth is less than 20 MHz, each resource allocation includes a sub-channel location to indicate a sub-channel out of the multiple sub-channels of the indicated sub-channel bandwidth. The one or more resource allocations may be for a transmission opportunity in case of non-contiguous resource allocations for a single station. The circuitry may be further configured to operate in accordance with orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA).

Abstract: Embodiments of an access point (AP), station (STA) and method of sounding are generally described herein. The AP may transmit, during a transmission opportunity (TXOP), a trigger frame (TF) to indicate that an STA is to transmit an uplink sounding packet during an uplink sounding period of the TXOP. The AP may attempt to detect the uplink sounding packet during the uplink sounding period. If the uplink sounding packet is not detected during the uplink sounding period, the AP may transmit a recovery packet to cause other STAs to determine a busy condition during the uplink sounding period. If the uplink sounding packet is detected during the uplink sounding period, the AP may determine a channel estimate for the STA based at least partly on the uplink sounding packet.

Abstract: Methods, computer readable media, and wireless apparatuses are disclosed. The apparatuses including processing circuitry configured to: associate with a master station, decode a frame, where the frame comprises a first duration and a transmitter address and determine that the frame is an intra basic service set (Intra-BSS), an inter (Inter-BSS), or an unclassified frame, where the unclassified frame is the Intra-BSS frame or the Inter-BSS frame. The processing circuitry may be further configured to set an Intra-BSS network allocation vector (NAV) to the first duration if the first duration is longer than a current duration of the Intra-BSS NAV and the frame is determined to be the intra-BSS frame and set the second NAV to the first duration if the first duration is longer than a current duration of the second NAV and the frame is determined to be the inter-BSS frame or the unclassified frame.

Abstract: Embodiments of an access point (AP), station (STA) and method for multi-user (MU) location measurement are generally described herein. The AP may contend for a transmission opportunity (TXOP) to obtain access to a channel. The AP may transmit a trigger frame (TF) to initiate a multi-user (MU) location measurement during the TXOP. The AP may receive service requests for the MU location measurement from a plurality of STAs. The AP may transmit an MU acknowledgement (ACK) frame that indicates reception of the service requests. The AP may receive, from the STAs, uplink sounding frames that include per-STA timing information for the service requests and the MU ACK frame. The STA may determine location measurements for the STAs based on the per-STA timing information included in the uplink sounding frames.
