    Abstract: A wake-up radio is configured to scan for transmissions while the radio receiver is in sleep mode. The wake-up radio detects incoming RF transmissions intended for the radio receiver by analyzing data frame characteristics in an incoming RF transmission. The data frame characteristics may contain a signature code that is unique to the radio receiver. The signature code may be based on the time duration of a sequence of orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) symbols received in a clear to send to self (CTS2S) transmission or a time duration of short interframe spaces (SIFS) used to transmit the data frames.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving the accuracy of a round trip time (RTT) estimate between a first device and a second device are disclosed. The method involves calculating an acknowledgement correction factor and a unicast correction factor. These correction factors are used to compensate for symbol boundary time errors resulting from multipath effects.

    Abstract: In a multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) system, a wireless node's receive chain demodulation function is enhanced to include phase tracking. VHT Long Training Fields (LTFs) embedded in a frame preamble are used for phase tracking. Single stream pilot tones are added during transmission of VHT-LTFs. A receiver estimates the channel using the pilot tones in a first set of LTFs. A second set of LTFs are used to estimate the phase of the pilot tones using the estimated channel. The phase estimation is continuously applied to other received data tones throughout the VHT-LTFs of data symbols. Phase errors due to PLL mismatches and phase noise are reduced at reception, leading to better signal to noise ratio for different levels of drift and frequency offset. Further, MIMO channel estimation is more accurate, improving the overall wireless network when the accurate MIMO channel estimation data participates in calibration and handshake between wireless nodes.

    Abstract: An electronic device includes a medium access controller (MAC) to generate frames and transmitter circuitry to convert the frames to radio-frequency (RF) analog signals for transmission. The MAC is to initiate frame generation at a time that precedes initiation of RF analog signal transmission by a specified time period. In a first mode, the MAC is to generate a dummy frame during a first portion of the specified time period and to initiate generation of a transmit frame during a subsequent second portion of the specified time period. Also in the first mode, the transmitter circuitry is to convert the dummy frame into a first analog signal, discard the first analog signal, convert the transmit frame into a second analog signal, and transmit the second analog signal.

    Abstract: A single receive chain of a MIMO receiver is activated during a low power listen mode. Upon detecting a legacy short training field (L-STF) in a received packet, the single receive chain performs a first frequency estimation, and activates one or more additional receive chains of the MIMO receiver. The MIMO receiver uses maximal ratio combining (MRC) to receive the signal using the first receive chain and the one or more additional activated receive chains, wherein the MRC is based, at least in part, on the first frequency estimation. The MIMO receiver may determine whether the received packet is a high throughput/very high throughput (HT/VHT) packet, and if not, deactivate the one or more additional receive chains. In one alternative, the additional receive chains are not activated until determining that a HT/VHT packet has been received.
