Abstract:
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to tone mapping for a high-efficiency (HE) trigger-based (TB) null data packet (NDP) feedback physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU). A device may identify a frame received from a second device. The device may determine, based on the frame, a resource unit allocated to the device, wherein the resource unit is associated with a 20 MHz sub-channel of a bandwidth. The device may determine, based on the resource unit and the bandwidth, tones associated with a HE short training field (HE-STF) of a HE TB NDP feedback PPDU. The device may send the HE TB NDP feedback PPDU to the second device in the 20 MHz sub-channel, wherein the HE TB NDP feedback PPDU includes the tones.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to scrambler initialization for multi-user (MU) clear to send (CTS) transmission. A first device may identify a MU request to send (RTS) frame received from a second device. The first device may determine an initial state of a scrambler based on the first 7 bits of a service field of the MU-RTS frame. The first device may cause first data to be scrambled, using the initial state of the scrambler, resulting in second data. The first device may cause to send a MU-CTS frame that comprises the second data to the second device.
Abstract:
Fractional symbol based phase noise mitigation, including methods and systems to determine phase noise trajectory, or indication of phase noise, for each of multiple fractional portions of a frequency domain symbol, and modify the symbol based on the phase noise trajectories of the subsets. Multiple correction hypotheses may be generated for each fractional portion of the symbol based on pre-defined phase noise hypotheses. The correction hypotheses may include frequency domain correction hypotheses. The correction hypotheses for a subset may be evaluated to select one of the phase noise hypotheses as the trajectory for the subset. The evaluation may include applying each correction hypothesis to a corresponding equalized frequency domain symbol to generate corresponding symbol hypotheses, computing a signal quality for each symbol hypothesis, and comparing the signal qualities. Signal qualities may be determined as error vector magnitudes, and may be based on all or a subset of corresponding symbol tones.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for decoding a frame control header message in a wireless communication transmission are disclosed. The method comprises assuming at least some of the bits comprising the frame control header message are constant across multiple frames or are known a priori and generating metrics at least from the bits of the frame control header message that are assumed to be constant or are known a priori. The method further comprises decoding the metrics, for example, with a Viterbi decoder or using chase combining, to yield the decode frame control header message.
Abstract:
Preamble generator for a multiband frequency division multplexing (OFDM) tranceiver of a wireless personal area network (WPAN) being switchable between a time frequency interleaving (TFI)-mode wherein data packets are transmitted by said transceiver in different frequency bands according to a predetermined frequency hopping pattern and a fixed frequency interleaving (FFI) mode wherein data packets are transmitted by the transceiver in at least one fixed frequency band, wherein said preamble generator scrambles in the fixed frequency interleaving (FFI) mode a predetermined preamble of the data packets by multiplying said preamble with a pseudo random data sequence to flatten a power spectrum of said preamble.
Abstract:
Described herein is an apparatus having at least two antennas to communicate over multiple communication channels. The apparatus can further include processing circuitry coupled to the at least two antennas to measure isolation in the communication channels while the communication channels are operating in a radar mode to select a channel having highest isolation among the communication channels. The processing circuitry can further perform radar detection over the channel having highest isolation. Other systems and methods are described.

For example, an Access Point (AP) may be configured to set Resource Unit (RU) allocation information in a Signal (SIG) field, the RU allocation information configured to indicate an RU allocation for a user; to set Unequal Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) (UEM) information for the user in the SIG field, the UEM information for the user configured to indicate an assignment of a plurality of MCSs to a plurality of frequency sub-channels in the RU allocation for the user, respectively; and to transmit a Downlink (DL) Physical layer (PHY) Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) including the SIG field and a data field for the user, wherein the data field for the user is configured according to the assignment of the plurality of MCSs to the plurality of frequency sub-channels in the RU allocation for the user.
Abstract:
An extremely high-throughput (EHT) station (STA) may encode an EHT PPDU for transmission on a plurality of subchannels. The EHT STA may determine a spectral mask to apply to the EHT PPDU prior to transmission of the EHT PPDU. When preamble puncturing is performed, the EHT STA may apply an overall spectral mask to the EHT PPDU prior to transmission. The overall spectral mask may be based on an interim spectral mask and a preamble-puncture spectral mask. The subchannels may be in a 6 GHz band and the EHT STA may determine if preamble puncturing is to be performed for one or more of the subchannels based on a presence of incumbents in the one or more of the subchannels, although the scope of the embodiments is not limited in this respect.
Abstract:
Embodiments of an access point (AP) station (STA) configured for operating in a next-generation (NG) wireless local area network (WLAN) (i.e., EHT) are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a comb resource unit (RU) structure may be used to distribute tones of an RU across a wider bandwidth for narrow RU power spectral density (PSD) boosting for longer-range transmission in EHT to meet ETSI and/or FCC limitations.
