Abstract:
A method of wirelessly communicating a packet including a first portion for transmission over at least one channel of a first transmission type and a second portion for transmission over at least one channel of a second transmission type. In one aspect, the method includes generating, at a wireless device, a packet including a first portion having a first symbol duration. The packet further includes a second portion having a second symbol duration greater than the first. The second portion can include a plurality of repeated portions of the signal field, the repeated portions having the second symbol duration. The first portion includes a first training field. The method further includes prepending or appending a second training field to the first portion. The second training field has the second symbol duration. The method further includes transmitting the packet.
Abstract:
A method of wirelessly communicating a packet includes generating, at a wireless device, a first packet. The first packet includes a first preamble decodable by a plurality of devices and a second preamble decodable by only a subset of the plurality of devices. The first preamble includes a first signal field, and the second preamble includes a second signal field. The method further includes setting a length indication of the first signal field to carry non-length signal information. The method further includes transmitting the first packet.
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods of using content information for encoding multimedia data are described. A method of processing multimedia data includes obtaining content information of multimedia data, and encoding the multimedia data so as to align a data boundary with a frame boundary in a time domain, wherein said encoding is based on the content information. In another aspect, a method of processing multimedia data includes obtaining a content classification of the multimedia data, and encoding blocks in the multimedia data as intra-coded blocks or inter-coded blocks based on the content classification to increase the error resilience of the encoded multimedia data. Apparatus that can process multimedia data described in these methods are also disclosed.

Abstract:
A method of wirelessly communicating a packet includes generating, at a first wireless device, a first packet including a first preamble decodable by a plurality of devices and a second preamble decodable by only a subset of the plurality of devices. The first preamble includes a first signal field. The second preamble includes a first training field. The method further includes transmitting the first packet concurrently with one or more second packets to be transmitted by wireless devices other than the first wireless device.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided for phase tracking in wireless communications using frames with some portions that use relatively long symbol durations. One technique includes generating a frame having a plurality of orthogonal training field sequences. Each orthogonal training field sequence is assigned to a different spatial stream. The frame is output for transmission as a single user (SU) transmission, a downlink multi-user (MU) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) transmission, or an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) transmission. After obtaining the frame, channel estimation and/or phase tracking may be performed based on the orthogonal training field sequences.

Abstract:
Systems and methods for using travelling pilots for channel estimation are described herein. In one aspect, wireless communications apparatus is described that comprises a processor configured to divide a plurality of tones on which pilot signals are to be transmitted among a plurality of symbols, wherein each symbol includes less than all of the plurality of tones and the plurality of symbols includes at least a subset of the plurality of tones. The wireless communication apparatus further comprises a transmitter configured to transmit, during a given symbol, pilot signals on the tones included in the given symbol, wherein the tones over which the pilot signals are transmitted are changed from symbol to symbol.
