    摘要: Systems and methods of expanding indication capabilities of existent PPDU preamble fields. The “GI+LTF Size” field is redefined to indicate a new combination of GI duration and HE-LTF size. The redefinition is indicated when the values of the two other existent fields, in combination, indicate an invalid scenario because the two values should have been mutually exclusive. Particularly, the DCM field and the STBC field are both set to the “enabled” mode as an indication for redefine the “GI+LTF Size” field. Upon receiving such a PPDU, a receiver is configured to resolve the PPDU as neither DCM nor STBC is enabled. Rather, the receiver interprets the particular combination of DCM and STBC values as an indication that the “GI+LTF Size” field is redefined to indicate the new combination of GI duration and HE-LTF size.

    摘要: A backward compatible frame reuse mechanism that allows new information to be defined a reused frame without causing any incorrect operation in a legacy receive device. To generate a reused frame, a portion of the frame in the first format is masked with a predetermined masking sequence (PMS) and thereby redefined as new fields in a second format. When a device that supports the reuse scheme receives a frame that possible is a reused frame, the device checks the potentially reused portion according to the first format after de-masking and also checks according to the second format without de-masking. Based on the check results, the device selects a format to resolve the frame. A legacy device receiving the reused frame only checks the reused portion without de-masking, which results in a certain check error and makes the device discard the frame without any harmful operation.

    摘要: Systems and methods of expanding indication capabilities of existent PPDU preamble fields. An existing field “Doppler mode” in a preamble is redefined into a dual-use field for indicating channel variation for a short packet as well as for indicating presence of mid-amble(s) in a long packet. Particularly, for a long packet (longer than a predefined data transmission time or a longer than a predefined number of data symbols), the two possible values of the one-bit “Doppler mode” field indicate whether there is any mid-amble carrying training symbols in the payload. On the other hand, for a short packet, the two possible values in the same field indicate whether the channel for transmitting the instant packet is currently time-variant as determined by the transmitting device.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for structured resource allocation signaling. In one novel aspect, an 8-bit RU allocation filed is allocated in the HE-SIG-B common field for each 20 MHz. The structured resource signaling supports more than four MU-MIMO users. In one embodiment, the STA decodes the 8-bit RU allocation signal following a structured resource unit (RU) allocation rule, and determines the RU. In one embodiment, the STA decodes the first two bits of the 8-bit RU allocation signal to determine a first category of the RU allocation. The categories of the RU allocation includes a large RU size category indicating larger than or equal to 20 MHz RUs exist, a two 106-tone category indicating two 106-tone RUs exist, and a no-large-RU category indicating only smaller-than-242-tone RUs exist. The STA further decodes based on the category. A lookup table (LUT) for RU allocation is built and decoded based on a structured signaling rule.

    摘要: A method of improved allocation of uplink resources in an OFDMA network is proposed. A wireless communications station (an AP) reserves both dedicated resource and contention resource for uplink OFDMA operation for a list of communications devices (STAs). The AP can switch between random access operation and non-random access operation without the need for any special protection mechanisms. In the event of an increase in uplink OFDMA frame collisions the AP can switch from random operation to non-random operation to reduce the number of collisions. In the event of a decrease in uplink OFDMA frame collisions the AP can switch from non-random operation to random operation to reduce required AP processing. The AP can also dynamically control a STA access probability to reduce the number of collisions by reducing the number of uplink OFDMA frames each STA transmits.

    摘要: A method of providing a configurable signaling (SIG) field is proposed to reduce the SIG overhead of a data packet in a wireless network. The SIG field comprises both HE-SIG-A field and HE-SIG-A2 field. HE-SIG-A field contains only necessary information for a default network scenario (e.g., indoor non-OFDMA SU-MIMO) to avoid HE-SIG-A2. HE-SIG-A2 field contains OFDMA, MU-MIMO, and/or outdoor parameter settings. By using HE-SIG-A to indicate the existence, mode, and/or length of HE-SIG-A2, the signaling overhead for default scenario can be reduced by avoiding the entire HE-SIG-A2 field. The number of symbols required for HE-SIG-A2 is adjustable based on each transmission scenario and indicated by HE-SIG-A. Further, because higher MCS such as QPSK may be supported for HE-SIG-A2, additional signaling overhead is reduced.
