Abstract:
A system and method are provided to facilitate signaling between base stations controlled by alternate spectrum holders (ASH's) and individual multi-mode devices (MMD's) operating in communication with those base stations to indicate an ability to a global spectrum marketplace of an ability of the base stations and/or the individual MMD's to support communication in both International Mobile Telecommunication (IMT) and non-IMT bands is support of a dynamic spectrum allocation scheme. The disclosed systems and methods may be based on a modification of the 3rd Generation Partnership Protocol (3GPP®) Long Term Evolution (LTE®) standard so that non-IMT licensed spectrum can be included in LTE® or LTE-Advanced® multi-band carrier aggregation.

Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of communicating a Single-User (SU) Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) transmission. For example, a first wireless communication station may be configured to transmit a Request to Send (RTS) to a second wireless communication station via a plurality of SU MIMO Transmit (Tx) sectors of the first wireless communication station, the RTS to establish a Transmit Opportunity (TXOP) to transmit an SU-MIMO transmission to the second wireless communication station, a control trailer of the RTS including an indication of an intent to transmit the SU-MIMO transmission to the second wireless communication station; and to transmit the SU-MIMO transmission to the second wireless communication station, upon receipt of a Clear to Send (CTS) from the second wireless communication station indicating that the second wireless communication station is ready to receive the SU-MIMO transmission.

Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, devices, systems and methods of communicating a PPDU including a training field. For example, an Enhanced Directional Multi-Gigabit (DMG) (EDMG) wireless communication station may be configured to determine one or more Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) Training (TRN) sequences in a frequency domain based on a count of one or more 2.16 Gigahertz (GHz) channels in a channel bandwidth for transmission of an EDMG PPDU including a TRN field; generate one or more OFDM TRN waveforms in a time domain based on the one or more OFDM TRN sequences, respectively, and based on an OFDM TRN mapping matrix, which is based on a count of the one or more transmit chains; and transmit an OFDM mode transmission of the EDMG PPDU over the channel bandwidth, the OFDM mode transmission comprising transmission of the TRN field based on the one or more OFDM TRN waveforms.
Abstract:
A processor may control a transmitter to send a first signal representing a request for one or more priority rules for data packet prioritization; to receive a second signal in response to the first signal, the second signal representing the one or more priority rules for data packet prioritization, and to receive a third signal representing a data packet including a header and a data payload. The header may comprise a first priority tag representing a first priority level. The processor may be configured to determine from the data payload and the one or more rules for data packet prioritization a second priority tag representing a second priority level and to replace the first priority tag with the second priority tag.
Abstract:
An access point (AP) station (STA) (AP STA) that is part of an AP multi-link device (MLD) may be configured as a reporting AP may encode a BSS Transition Management (BTM) request frame for transmission to one or more associated non-AP stations (STAs). The BTM request frame may include a neighbor report element encoded to include information about one or more neighbor APs. The neighbor report element may indicate whether the one or more neighbor APs identified in the neighbor report element are part of an AP MLD and, when a neighbor AP is indicated to be part of an AP MLD whether the reporting AP is part of the indicated AP MLD. The AP STA may decode a reassociation frame from one of the non-AP STAs for transition from one of the AP STAs of the AP MLD to one of the neighbor APs.

Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, devices, systems and methods of beamforming. For example, a responder station may process a received Beam Refinement Protocol (BRP) request including a beam tracking request from an initiator station; and select whether or not to transmit a BRP response including beam tracking feedback, in response to the BRP request, based on a comparison between a time period and a BRP tracking time limit, the time period being based on a timing of the BRP request and a timing of the BRP response.
