    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to channel estimation for coordinated access point (AP) transmissions. A device may identify of one or more access points associated with a coordinated basic service set. The device may determine to transmit one or more packets to a station device in coordination with the one or more access points. The device may determine one or more first training fields associated with one or more antennas of the device. The device may cause to send the one or more first training fields to the station device on one or more first communication links between the device and the station device.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to dynamic channel bonding and multi-band aggregation. A device may determine a plurality of aggregated medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (A-MPDU) subframes to send to a station device including a first A-MPDU subframe and a second A-MPDU subframe. The device may determine a quiet period between the first A-MPDU subframe and the second A-MPDU subframe. The device may cause to send the plurality of A-MPDU subframes to the station device on a first channel. The device may determine a status of a second channel during the quiet period. The device may cause to send the second A-MPDU subframe to the station device using a multi-band transmission on the first channel and the second channel.

    Abstract: Embodiments may implement a new hierarchical data structure for traffic indication mapping to facilitate transmissions for wireless communications devices. Many embodiments comprise MAC sublayer logic to generate and transmit management frames such as beacon frames with a partial virtual bitmap based upon the hierarchical data structure for traffic indication mapping. In some embodiments, the MAC sublayer logic may store the traffic indication map and/or the traffic indication map structure in memory, in logic, or in another manner that facilitates transmission of the frames. Some embodiments may receive, detect, and decode communications with frames comprising the partial virtual bitmap based upon the hierarchical data structure. In some embodiments, indications of buffered data for pages, super-blocks, blocks, sub-blocks, and/or stations may be inverted. In several embodiments, a new association identifier (AID) structure is defined for the new hierarchical data structure for traffic indication mapping.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, and methods related to signal classification in a wireless communication network. A first computing device comprising one or more processors and one or more transceiver component may receive a signal transmission packet comprising a physical layer (PHY) preamble. The first computing device may identify within the PHY preamble, one or more signal (SIG) fields, wherein at least one of the one or more SIG fields includes at least a length field indicating a length of the signal transmission packet. The first computing device may determine based at least in part on the length field, that the signal transmission packet is associated with a predetermined communication standard utilized to transmit the signal transmission packet. The first computing device may decode the signal transmission packet based at least in part on the determination that the signal transmission packet is associated with the predetermined communication standard.

    Abstract: Logic may enable client devices or access points to relay medium access control (MAC) frames through a Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) Direct network such as a network of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) connections to extend the wireless range of the devices or access points beyond the transmission range of the individual devices or access points. Logic may extend the range of IEEE 802.11 devices, such as IEEE 802.11ah devices, by allowing a station in the middle of two stations to serve as a relay station using the Wi-Fi Direct technology. Logic may enable relaying to avoid a full mesh technology such as is defined in IEEE 802.11s, since the full mesh technology may contain too many features that are not required for a simple or a static network configuration of such embodiments.

    Abstract: Embodiments allow a wireless device configured to work with the 802.11n/ac standard to work in the communication bands where 802.11p devices operate with little change. Embodiments may receive signals using a receiver adapted for the wider bandwidth 802.11n/ac signals. Embodiments may also increase the sensitivity of the receiver to reduce the likelihood of missing the presence of a lower bandwidth 802.11p signal. When a signal is detected, embodiments may process the incoming signal as if it were an 802.11n/ac signal while also processing incoming signal samples in a way that effectively narrows the receiver bandwidth to identify whether an 802.11p signal is present. If the device detects the presence of an 802.11n/ac signal, it may terminate the 802.11p signal processing and proceed with normal 802.11n/ac operation. If the device detects the presence of an 802.11p signal, it may terminate 802.11n/ac processing and trigger collision avoidance processes.
