摘要:
Systems, methods, and devices for acknowledging communications from a plurality of wireless devices in a wireless network are described herein. In some embodiments, an access point for the wireless network transmits a group acknowledgment (ACK) to indicate whether communications (packets) from the plurality of wireless devices have been received or correctly decoded within some time interval. Each wireless device may have a different time interval associated with it. For some embodiments, the time interval for a wireless device is relative to when a previous group ACK was sent. A group ACK may include a bitmap. In some embodiments, the bitmap indicating whether a communication has been received or correctly decoded may be transmitted as part of a beacon.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a protocol to allow for load balancing between multiple frequency channels in a wireless communications system.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for efficiently managing overloaded group IDs for groups of stations (STAs) receiving simultaneous transmission in a multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) scheme. In this manner, overloading for some of the groups may allow flexibility at an access point (AP) to trade off between support for more STA combinations and power savings. As disclosed herein, the group ID management scheme may be flexible enough to support APs with both overloaded and non-overloaded groups and APs with only non-overloaded groups. This scheme also achieves these benefits for overloading with a low overhead.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for managing group identifiers (IDs) in multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) schemes to ensure that the group ID maps to the same assigned spatial stream position for a particular station (STA), for either Direct Link Service (DLS) or downlink (DL) MU-MIMO transmissions. One example method generally includes transmitting, from a first apparatus to a second apparatus, a message requesting assignment of a group ID identifying a group of apparatuses for receiving MU transmissions; and receiving, from the second apparatus, an indication of the assigned group ID, such that spatial stream assignments for the group of apparatuses are the same between the first and second apparatuses, the spatial stream assignments corresponding to the assigned group ID.

摘要:
A method includes wirelessly communicating with one or more stations that are partitioned into one or more groups. The method also includes generating a message that identifies one or more time periods during which each station of a first group of the one or more groups is permitted to contend for a communication channel or restricted from contending for the communication channel. The method further includes transmitting the message.

Systems, methods, and devices for communicating packets having a plurality of types are described herein. In some aspects, the packets include a compressed MAC header. In some aspects the packets include an acknowledgment (ACK) frame. The fields included in a particular packet type may be based on the type of information to be communicated to the receiving device.
摘要:
A method for reduced overhead paging by an access point is described. The method includes assigning at least one paging identifier to at least one station. The method also includes partitioning a paging identifier space into paging identifier sets. The method further includes generating a paging message based on at least one of the paging identifier sets and the at least one paging identifier. The method additionally includes sending the paging message.
