    Abstract: A method for decoding an orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) data unit is described. OFDM symbols of the OFDM data unit are received that include a first OFDM symbol that corresponds to a legacy signal field followed by a second OFDM symbol that corresponds to a candidate signal field. It is determined whether the candidate signal field corresponds to a repetition of the legacy signal field. At least some of the OFDM symbols of the OFDM data unit are decoded according to a first communication protocol indicated by the determination of whether the candidate signal field corresponds to the repetition of the legacy signal field.

    Abstract: A method of calibrating analog transceiver delay includes generating a signal in a portion of a first device to arrive at a first known time at analog transmit circuitry of the first device, transmitting the signal from the analog transmit circuitry of the first device, receiving the transmitted signal, and deriving transceiver delay from the received signal. The transmitting may be performed via a closed loop to analog receiver circuitry of the first device, detecting the signal at a second known time at an output of the analog receiver circuitry of the first device. The transmitting also may be performed wirelessly to receiver circuitry of a second device placed at a predetermined distance from the first device, detecting the received signal at a second known time at the receiver circuitry of the second device. Transceiver delay can be determined from transit time and apportioned between transmit delay and receive delay.

    Abstract: In a method for beamforming in a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) communication system, a data unit from a second communication device is received at a first communication device via a MIMO communication channel. Training signals in the data unit are buffered in a memory of the first communication device, wherein buffering assumes that the data unit spans a bandwidth greater than a maximum bandwidth of a legacy first communication protocol. The first communication device determines whether the data unit is formatted according to a duplication mode in which a bandwidth portion of the data unit conforms to the legacy first communication protocol. If it is determined that the data unit is formatted according to the duplication mode, the first communication device utilizes a transmit beamforming matrix generated using the training signals buffered assuming that the data unit spans the bandwidth greater than the maximum bandwidth of the legacy first communication protocol.

    Abstract: A first communication device measures respective receive power levels of signals transmitted by second communication devices in a plurality of second communication devices. The first communication device selects a group of two or more second communication devices from the plurality of second communication devices for simultaneous transmission of respective data to the first communication device, wherein the group is selected i) so that respective measured receive power levels of the signals from any two second communication devices in the group differ by no more than a predetermined amount, and ii) without instructing any second communication device in the group to adjust a transmit signal power level. The first communication device generates a communication frame that includes information indicative of the group, and transmits the communication frame to prompt the group to simultaneously transmit respective data to the first communication device.
