摘要:
When initiating SDMA training sequences, a base station may poll multiple mobile devices with the same multicast training poll, and the polled mobile stations may respond separately at different times based on an assigned delay period for each mobile station.

During a training phase in a network using spatial division multiple access (SDMA) techniques, frame types that trigger network allocation vectors may be used in the training phase to prevent unwanted devices from transmitting during the training phase.

According to some embodiments, a technique is provided that coordinates transmission of frames to reduce collisions. Frames are coordinated according to, for example, operation type, frame length, and solicited response. A base station gains access to a wireless medium and transmits multiple coordinated frames to multiple communication units. The transmissions to the multiple communication units may be substantially simultaneous in that at least a portion of the different frames are transmitted at the same time. The different frames may be substantially back-end aligned where the maximum difference between the termination time instances of the frame transmissions is controlled to reduce collisions.

Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, in response to receiving a wireless communication signal, a non-uniform codebook is generated based at least in part on one or more characteristics of the received wireless communication signal for quantization and communication back to a source of the received signal. The non-uniform codebook may be generated by selecting a suitable uniform codebook based at least in part on the one or more characteristics of the received wireless communication signal, and supplementing the uniform codebook with additional codewords to generate the non-uniform codebook.

Methods and apparatuses for reducing an amount of bandwidth required for feedback to a transmitter station in a closed-loop multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system are described herein. The methods may include initially measuring at a receiver station channel qualities associated with receiving signals from a transmitter station for a first and a second spatial channel, the transmitter and receiver stations employing a closed-loop MIMO system. The receiver station may then determine a first and a second channel quality indicator (CQI) based on the measured channel qualities and may then transmit to the transmitter station the first and the second CQI to directly and indirectly identify a first and a second modulation coding scheme (MCS) entry among a plurality of ordered MCS entries, respectively. The second MCS entry being one of a selected subset of lower ordered MCS entries relative to the first MCS entry. The transmitter station may selectively use the first and the second identified MCS to transmit signals to the receiver station over the first and the second spatial channel, respectively.
摘要:
Methods and apparatuses for providing CQI feedback with common code rate to a transmitter station are described herein. In one implementation, the methods may include a receiver station that is communicatively linked to a transmitter station via k spatial channels transmitting a first CQI to the transmitter station that indicates a modulation level for use by the transmitter station to transmit (i.e., to configure for transmission) a first of k streams of signals to be transmitted to the receiver station. The first CQI may further include a common code rate to be used by the transmitter station for transmitting the first of the k streams of signals as well as for transmitting the rest of the k−1 additional streams of signals to the receiver station. The receiver station may further transmit to the transmitter station k−1 additional CQIs to indicate to the transmitter station the k−1 modulation levels to be used by the transmitter station for transmitting the k−1 additional streams of signals to the receiver station.
摘要:
An access point in a wireless network communicates with multiple mobile stations simultaneously using spatial-division multiple access. The access point transmits to the mobile stations frames that end at different times within a predefined window of time. When the predefined window in time is a short interframe space (SIFS) in an IEEE 802.11 compatible network, the access point will be done transmitting the frames in time to receive acknowledgements from the multiple mobile stations.
