摘要:
Embodiments of a high-efficiency Wi-Fi (HEW) station, access point (AP), and method for communication in a wireless network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the HEW station may perform random access contention with other HEW stations for uplink resources for data transmission to the HEW AP. The HEW station may determine transmission activity during a first portion of a channel sensing period, and may select a sub-channel on which transmission activity is not determined. The HEW station may transmit an announcement signal on the selected sub-channel during a second portion of the channel sensing period. The announcement signal transmission may indicate, to other contending HEW stations, an intention by the HEW station to transmit on the same selected sub-channel during a subsequent access period.

Embodiments of a high-efficiency Wi-Fi (HEW) station, access point (AP), and method for communication in a wireless network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the HEW AP may transmit a resource allocation message to indicate an allocation of channel resources for uplink transmissions by one or more HEW stations. The channel resources may include multiple channels, each of which may include multiple sub-channels and an extra portion of channel resources. The resource allocation message may include multiple sub-channel allocation blocks to indicate an allocation for a particular HEW station. A length of the sub-channel allocation blocks may be based on various factors, such as a number of channels included in the channel resources and a sub-carrier bandwidth.

Apparatuses, methods, and computer readable media for signaling clear-channel assessment parameters in a high-efficiency wireless local area network (HEW) are disclosed. A HEW master station comprising circuitry is disclosed. The circuitry may be configured to determine one or more clear-channel assessment (CCA) parameters for one or more HEW stations, and transmit a CCA parameter of the one or more CCA parameters to the corresponding HEW station of the one or more HEW stations. The clear-channel assessment parameter may be one from the following group: mid-packet detect (MPD) threshold, energy detect threshold, and signal detect threshold. The HEW master station may determine the CCA parameter based on the at least one of the following group: an uplink signal strength of the HEW device, a signal quality report received from the HEW device, and a downlink signal strength of the master station received by the HEW device.

Embodiments of a high-efficiency Wi-Fi (HEW) station, access point (AP), and method for random access contention in a wireless network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the HEW station may receive a beacon frame that indicates a number of trigger frames (TFs) included in a beacon interval. The beacon frame may be received from an HEW access point (AP) in channel resources that include multiple sub-channels. The HEW station may receive a random access TF that indicates a random access portion of the sub-channels that are allocated for random access contention during an uplink transmission period. The HEW station may select a candidate sub-channel from the channel resources. When the candidate sub-channel is included in the random access portion, the HEW station may transmit an association request (AR) frame on the candidate sub-channel during the uplink transmission period.

Computing readable media, apparatuses, and methods for random access with carrier sensing are disclosed. An apparatus is disclosed including processing circuitry configured to: decode a trigger frame, the trigger frame to indicate resource units (RUs) for random access and to indicate if a carrier sense (CS) is to be performed. The processing circuitry may be further configured to: decrement a value of an orthogonal frequency division multiple-access (OFDMA) backoff (OBO) field based on a number of the RUs indicated for random access. The processing circuitry may be further configured to: when the value of the OBO field reaches a predetermined value, randomly select one of the RUs indicated for random access, and if the CS is to be performed, determine a virtual CS based on one or more network allocation vectors (NAVs) and perform a physical CS on the selected RU, and if the virtual CS and the physical CS both indicate that the selected RU is idle, configure the wireless device to transmit a physical (PHY) layer convergence procedure (PLCP) protocol data units (PPDU) on the selected RU in accordance with OFDMA.

摘要:
Systems, apparatus, and methods to provide an indication of frequency resource unit (RU) allocation from a wireless access point (AP) to one or more station devices (STA) are disclosed. The AP may be configured to generate a protocol data unit including a high efficiency wireless (HEW) preamble that indicates the RU allocation corresponding to each of the STA. The indication of the RU allocation for each of the STA, as disclosed herein, may be encoded in fewer bits than providing a bitmap of the RU allocation for each of the STA. A predetermined RU pattern may be used to map RU (e.g., 26 tone units, 52 tone units, etc.) to a RU allocation index. This RU allocation pattern may be efficiently communicated to each of the STAs in the HEW preamble of the protocol data unit.
