    Abstract: In a method for transmitting information in a wireless local area network (WLAN), a plurality of different data streams corresponding to a plurality of different devices are orthogonally multiplexed onto a single symbol stream without using channel state information corresponding to a plurality of channels between a transmitting device and the plurality of different devices. One or more transmit streams are generated using the single symbol stream.

    Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and apparatuses for secure fine timing measurement (FTM) with encoded long training fields (LTFs). In some aspects, a device transmits an announcement frame for an FTM exchange that includes an indication of encoding. Based on the indication of encoding, an LTF of a first null data packet (NDP) of the FTM exchange is encoded. The device transmits the first NDP having the encoded LTF to another device, and receives, from the other device, a second NDP having an encoded LTF. A round-trip time for the first and second NDPs with encoded LTFs is determined. Based on this round-trip time, a distance between the device and the other device can be determined. By encoding the LTFs of the NDPs of the FTM exchange, third parties can be prevented from spoofing an FTM frame to compromise the FTM exchange and related proximity-based security.

    Abstract: At a receiver in a short-range wireless system having a plurality of channels and a plurality of receiving antennas, an angle-of-arrival of a signal is determined by receiving, at at least two antennas, the signal on one of the channels, determining a phase difference between the signal as received at those antennas, removing a local oscillator phase from the phase difference to provide an adjusted phase difference, and determining, from the adjusted phase difference, the angle-of-arrival. Removing the local oscillator phase includes estimating a local oscillator phase for each channel to be used for all antennas, or determining an angle using multi-channel combining, and for each channel, using that angle to determine a channel local oscillator phase, or, for a given channel, identifying, as the local oscillator phase, a phase that minimizes the sum, over all antennas, of squares of phase differences between the given channel and a neighboring channel.

    Abstract: Adjusting automatic gain control of a receiver, in a short-range wireless system having a plurality of channels and a plurality of receiving antennas, includes setting initial gain to be set by receiver AGC based on signals received at a receiver reference antenna, receiving, at each of the receiving antennas, a signal on a current channel, and adjusting gain to be set by AGC for the signal to prevent saturation. Angle-of-arrival estimation may be performed following adjusting of the AGC. Adjusting AGC may include backing off the AGC, changing the reference antenna prior to deriving gain to be set by AGC, or determining gain to be set by AGC at additional receiving antennas, and for each antenna that is not the reference antenna and is not one of the additional antennas, selecting gain to be set by AGC from a closest one of the reference antenna and the additional antennas.

    Abstract: A method for adjusting an arrival time of a first orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) data unit of an uplink multi-user (MU) data unit is described. Respective round trip times (RTTs) are determined by a first communication device for multiple communication devices that communicate with the first communication device. A first time offset for a second communication device of the multiple communication devices is determined by the first communication device based on the respective RTTs. The first OFDM data unit is to be transmitted by the second communication device. A first timing control message that indicates the first time offset is generated by the first communication device. The first timing control message is caused by the first communication device to be transmitted to the second communication device.

    Abstract: A network interface of a wireless network device generates a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) sequence using information bits of a signal field of a physical layer (PHY) preamble of a PHY data unit, including generating the CRC sequence using a CRC polynomial. The network interface generates a CRC field to be included in the signal field, including generating the CRC field to include a portion of the CRC sequence. The network interface generates the PHY data unit to include the PHY preamble, the PHY preamble having the signal field, the signal field having the information bits and the CRC field that includes the portion of the CRC sequence, where the PHY data unit is generated such that the signal field does not include the entire CRC sequence. The network interface generates a transmission signal for transmission in the wireless network, the transmission signal corresponding to the PHY data unit.

    Abstract: A preamble, a first portion of a data payload, a midamble, and a second portion of the data payload of a single data unit are generated. The midamble is to be transmitted subsequent to transmission of the first portion of the data payload and prior to transmission of the second portion of the data payload. The midamble includes an indication of at least one characteristic of the data payload such as an indication of a size of the second portion of the data payload, or whether or not the data payload includes one or more other portions in addition to the first and second portions. A network interface of a communication device is configured to generate the preamble, the first and second portions of the data payload, and the midamble.

    Abstract: A method in a communication network includes obtaining descriptions of a plurality of communication channels. Each communication channel is associated with a different one of a plurality of receivers. The method also includes identifying, based on the descriptions of the plurality of communication channels, two or more communication channels that satisfy one or more predetermined constraints related to orthogonality between the two or more communication channels. The method further includes selecting, to be included in a group of receivers, receivers associated with the two or more identified communication channels. The method additionally includes transmitting, to the group of receivers, at least one data unit that includes data intended for each receiver in the group.
