Abstract:
A particular method includes receiving, at an access point, one or more request messages from one or more relay nodes, each of the one or more request messages is a probe request message or an association request message related to a station. The method includes selecting a communication path between the access point and the station based on the one or more request messages and sending a response message indicating the selected communication path.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a methods and apparatus for selecting modulation coding schemes (MCS). In one aspect, a method for wireless communication includes processing a message identifying a duration constraint for a response message. The method further includes selecting one or more parameters for transmission of the response message based at least in part on the duration constraint.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for compression of wireless communications headers are disclosed. In one aspect, an apparatus for wireless communication includes a processing system configured to output a request for transmission to a second apparatus, the request indicating a request to the second apparatus to store first information; decode a response from the second apparatus to determine whether the second apparatus will store the first information; generate a first header, the first header generated without the first information therein if the second apparatus will store the first information; and output the first header for transmission to the second apparatus.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for selectively setting a network allocation vector for a subset of stations. In one aspect, a method of reserving access to wireless communication medium for a plurality of wireless devices, comprising: transmitting a message including a first indication for a first subset of wireless devices of the plurality of wireless devices to set a network allocation vector (NAV) and further including a second indication for a second subset of wireless devices of the plurality wireless devices to not set the NAV, thereby reserving access to the wireless medium for at least the second subset of the plurality of wireless devices.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatuses for full duplex communication on a wireless network are disclosed. In one aspect, one or more lists of non-effecting nodes are determined for one or more devices on the wireless network. A list of non-effecting nodes for a device identifies other network nodes or devices whose transmissions do not cause substantial interference with the device. When a full duplex communication is scheduled on the wireless network, a downlink message transmitted to the device may be performed concurrently with an uplink transmission from one of the non-effecting devices. This full duplex communication may be possible even if the device does not inherently support full-duplex communication on the wireless network.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication are provided. In an embodiment, a method of wireless communication includes receiving, at an access point, a probe request from a wireless device, transmitting a probe response including shared access point state information, receiving an association request including an indication that the wireless device has stored the shared access point state information, and transmitting an association response conditionally including the shared access point state information based on the indication in the association request.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides methods and apparatuses for multiple user uplink. One aspect of the disclosure provides a method for wireless communication. The method comprises receiving a first wireless message from an access point indicating an uplink transmission opportunity and a target transmission duration for each of a plurality of user terminals including a first user terminal. The method also comprises changing a planned transmission duration of a second wireless message from the first user terminal to fit the target transmission duration. The method also comprises transmitting the second wireless message from the first user terminal over the target transmission duration.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for multiple user uplink are provided. In one aspect, a method of wireless communication is provided. The method includes transmitting a first message to at least two stations. The first message indicates a second message to be transmitted to at least two stations after the first message. The method further includes transmitting the second message to the at least two stations. The method further includes receiving a plurality of uplink data from the at least two stations in response to the second message.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for dynamically adapting channel access or transmission parameters based upon an identified channel access parameter or previously used transmission parameter are disclosed. In an aspect, an electronic device for communication over a wireless network is disclosed. The electronic device comprises a processor configured to generate a message that identifies one rule of a plurality of rules. Each of the plurality of rules defines a process for adapting a value of a communication parameter based on an identified channel access parameter. Also, each of the plurality of rules provides a particular quality of service and a particular priority for communication with the electronic device. The electronic device further comprises a transceiver configured to transmit the message to a station.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for determining primary channel availability are disclosed. One aspect is a method in a wireless communications system including a first primary channel having first and second frequency spectrum bandwidths. The second frequency spectrum bandwidth includes the first frequency spectrum bandwidth. The method includes determining whether a first preamble has been detected on the second primary channel during a first threshold period of time, determining whether a second preamble has been detected on the first primary channel during a second threshold period of time, determining whether a guard interval has been detected on the second primary channel during a third threshold period of time, determining whether the second primary channel is idle based at least in part on detection of the first preamble, the second preamble and the guard interval, and transmitting a wireless message based at least in part on whether the second primary channel is idle.
