摘要:
Embodiments include systems and methods for allocating time to a plurality of devices in the network of a piconet controller. Embodiments comprise selectively directing a steerable antenna beam of the piconet controller to a plurality of devices in succession during a polling process to receive time allocation requests from one or more of the devices. Subsequent to the polling process, a grant procedure is performed wherein a device is granted permission to transmit in a subsequent time interval. Also during the grant process, one or more devices are instructed to receive from the device granted permission to transmit. The polling process and the grant process occur in the same superframe.

Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of indicating station-specific information within a wireless communication. For example, a device may include a wireless communication unit to transmit a wireless communication frame to a plurality of stations using a respective plurality of beamforming configurations, wherein the wireless communication unit is to transmit to the stations beamforming configuration information including station-specific information corresponding to the plurality of beamforming configurations, respectively.

An extended range preamble is disclosed, for transmission between extended range 802.11n devices. The extended range preamble consists of a high-throughput signal field, in which a modulation coding scheme rate and payload length are specified by the transmitting device. The extended range preamble also includes an expanded preamble, which is adjacent to the high-throughput signal field, and is not understood by non-extended range devices. The modulation coding scheme rate is specified as either one of the rates supported in non-extended range 802.11 devices or as a reserved modulation coding scheme not understood by the non-extended range devices. In either circumstance, the non-extended range device respects the preamble, and thus does not itself attempt a transmission during processing of the preamble.

Bidirectional iterative beam forming techniques are described. An apparatus may include a wireless device having an antenna control module operative to initiate beam formation operations using an iterative training scheme to form a pair of communications channels for a wireless network, the antenna control module to communicate training signals and feedback information with a peer device via the transceiver and phased antenna array using partially or fully formed high rate channels, and iteratively determine antenna-array weight vectors for a directional transmit beam pattern for the phased antenna array using feedback information from the peer device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Embodiments of an access point (AP), station (STA) and method for multi-user (MU) location measurement are generally described herein. The AP may contend for a transmission opportunity (TXOP) to obtain access to a channel. The AP may transmit a trigger frame (TF) to initiate a multi-user (MU) location measurement during the TXOP. The AP may receive service requests for the MU location measurement from a plurality of STAs. The AP may transmit an MU acknowledgement (ACK) frame that indicates reception of the service requests. The AP may receive, from the STAs, uplink sounding frames that include per-STA timing information for the service requests and the MU ACK frame. The STA may determine location measurements for the STAs based on the per-STA timing information included in the uplink sounding frames.

This disclosure describes methods, apparatus, and systems related to a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) system. The device may determine a wireless communications channel with a first device in accordance with a wireless communications standard. The device may generate a header in accordance with a communication standard, the header including, at least in part, a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) index value. The device may determine a code rate associated with the MCS index value based at least in part on the wireless communications channel. The device may cause to send the header to the first device over the wireless communications channel based at least in part on the MCS index value.

Exploratory beamforming training techniques for 60 GHz devices are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise a station (STA) comprising logic, at least a portion of which is in hardware, the logic to identify an exploratory link quality associated with an exploratory beamforming configuration for a directionally-beamformed wireless link, determine whether to revert to a previous beamforming configuration for the directionally-beamformed wireless link based on the exploratory link quality, and in response to a determination to revert to the previous beamforming configuration, send a frame comprising a rollback notification for the directionally-beamformed wireless link. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
Systems and methods to provide ad-hoc networks by establishing peer-to-peer communicative connections where one user device is deemed a group owner user device and the other user device(s) are deemed client user device(s) is disclosed. The group owner may be determined, based at least in part on a rank score indicative of a device type of the user devices that are to form a peer-to-peer communicative connection. Furthermore, secondary parameters, such as remaining battery life for each of the user devices that are to form a communicative connection may be used to identify the group owner.

Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, devices, systems and/or methods for controlling an antenna scheme of one or more antennas. For example, a controller may be configured to control an antenna scheme of one or more antennas of a mobile device for wireless communication based on a position of a lid of the mobile device relative to a base of the mobile device.
