Abstract:
Embodiments of a mobile device transmitter and methods for transmitting signals in different signal dimensions are generally disclosed herein. The mobile device transmitter comprises a mapper to map a block of two or more input modulation symbols to different signal dimensions comprising two or more spatial dimensions, and linear transform circuitry to perform a linear transform on the block of mapped input modulation symbols to generate a block of precoded complex-valued output symbols such that each output symbol carries some information of more than one input modulation symbol. The mobile device also comprises transmitter circuitry to generate time-domain signals from the blocks of precoded complex-valued output symbols for each of the spatial dimensions for transmission using the two or more antennas. The precoded complex-valued output symbols are mapped to different signal dimensions comprising at least different frequency dimensions prior to transmission.
Abstract:
Embodiments may comprise an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system operating in the 1 GHz and lower frequency bands. In many embodiments, physical layer logic may implement a new preamble structure with a new signal field. Embodiments may store the preamble structure and/or a preamble based upon the new preamble structure on a machine-accessible medium. Some embodiments may generate and transmit a communication with the new preamble structure. Further embodiments may receive and detect communications with the new preamble structure.
Abstract:
Embodiments of a wireless station to operate as a per-symbol relay device and method for retransmission of symbols between client devices and a master device using millimeter-wave links is generally disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the relay device may receive one or more of independent symbol streams from the master device. Each independent symbol stream may comprise packets that include groups of one or more symbols. Each group within a packet may be destined for a different one of the client devices. The relay device may separately decode each symbol or group of symbols to generate an independent stream of symbols for retransmission to the client devices using beamforming. The relay device may be arranged to receive, decode, and retransmit each symbol or group of symbols within a delay that is bounded by the number of symbols in the group.
Abstract:
Embodiments of a wireless device and method for transmitting a packet comprising one or more orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) transmission symbols are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the wireless device may be configured to map data to active tones and map zeroes to nulled tones of a set of OFDM tones to generate an OFDM symbol comprising both the active and the nulled tones. The number of active and nulled tones may be based on a nulling factor. The OFDM symbol may be down-clocked to generate an OFDM transmission symbol for transmission over a reduced transmission bandwidth. Accordingly, low power may be used for very low data rate transmissions, which may be suitable for sensor devices.
Abstract:
In a device or system, a total tone count is determined or selected for modulating a data payload. Two or more code words are interleaved into the data payload, and the data payload is transmitted on a channel of the device or system.
Abstract:
Pilot logic may determine based upon channel and phase information how to process pilot tones that shift locations every N symbols in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) packet transmission. Pilot logic may determine a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the channel to determine how to process the shifting pilot tones. Pilot logic may also determine channel and phase information updates such as channel state information and phase correction information from pilot tones. In situations of high SNR, logic may use channel estimates and phase rotations that are obtained from locations of the pilot tones for phase tracking and updating the equalizer. In situations of low SNR, logic may use the phase rotations for phase tracking and not update the equalizer during the OFDM transmission. Logic may also determine the presence or absence of a Doppler effect on the transmission and transmit a selection for N to an access point in response.
Abstract:
Logic may determine a first frame comprising a hopping pattern value and a target hopping time (THT). The hopping pattern may indicate a pattern of channels to which to hop. Logic may determine a clear-to-send (CTS) frame comprising a duration value indicative of a duration of a data transmission. Logic may transmit the first frame on at least a primary channel of the channels. Logic may transmit the CTS frame prior to transmitting the data transmission on the one or more channels in accordance with the hopping pattern, each channel having a bandwidth of at least 450 megahertz and being within in a 6 gigahertz to 10 gigahertz frequency band. Logic may receive a frame on at least a primary channel of the channels. Logic may receive CTS frames at the THT in accordance with the hopping pattern.
Abstract:
Embodiments may comprise an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system operating in the 1 GHz and lower frequency bands. In many embodiments, the physical layer logic may implement orthogonal frequency division multiplexing symbols encoded with 32 sub-carriers such as twenty data sub-carriers, four pilot sub-carriers, seven guard sub-carriers, and one direct current (DC) sub-carrier. Many embodiments may transform the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing symbols between frequency and time domains with a 32-point, fast Fourier transform or inverse fast Fourier transform. Some embodiments may up-convert and transmit a communication signal with the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing symbols at one megahertz. Further embodiments may receive and detect communications signal with the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing symbols at one megahertz.

A device may configure a single N×N transmit (TX)/receive (RX) radio to a plurality of 1×1 TX/RX radios, where N is a positive integer. The device may monitor a first channel of a plurality of channels to determine its availability. The device may monitor a second channel of the plurality of channels to determine its availability. The device may identify a first control frame received from an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) on the second channel. The device may cause to send a second control frame to the AP MLD on the second channel. The device may configure back to a single N×N TX/RX radio to receive a data frame.
