Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for scheduling a narrowband uplink transmission from a wireless station to a wireless access point in response to a station-specific wideband downlink transmission from the access point to the station. A station-specific downlink frame includes a station identifier associated with the station, and further includes resource allocation information associated with an uplink transmission channel over which the station is to transmit an uplink frame. The station-specific downlink frame is transmitted from the access point to the station over a downlink transmission channel having an associated downlink bandwidth. Based on the resource allocation information, the access point receives the uplink frame from the station over the uplink transmission channel. The uplink transmission channel has an associated uplink bandwidth that is narrower than the downlink bandwidth of the downlink transmission channel. In some disclosed examples, the uplink transmission channel is a sub-channel of the downlink transmission channel.

Abstract: Embodiments of an access point (AP), a user station (STA), and a method for range estimation in a wireless network are generally described herein. For example, the AP may encode a common information field of a first trigger frame to include a trigger frame type configured to check the readiness of associated and unassociated STAs. The AP may transmit the first trigger frame to STAs and receive feedback from the STAs. The AP may further encode, based on the feedback, a common information field of a second trigger frame to include one of: a trigger frame type that solicits negotiation packets from associated and unassociated STAs using an association identifier (AID) and a pre-AID; or a trigger frame type that solicits channel sounding packets from associated and unassociated STAs using an AID and a pre-AID. The AP may further transmit the second trigger frame to the STAs.

Abstract: New wireless networks can perform enhanced beamforming training for a multiple access technique, such as orthogonal frequency division multiple-access (OFDMA). The configurations of the stations and the networks presented herein provide a multiple-station beam refinement protocol (MSBRP) that may be used to train the transmit end and/or the receive end for the stations in a dense wireless local area network (WLAN). The MSBRP can have at least two phases. The first phase concurrently trains the receive side of multiple responder stations from one set of training signals sent from an initiator station. Then, each responder station can send training signals to the initiator station in a set of ordered phases associated with each responder station. The MSBRP eliminates inefficiencies associated with conducting multiple BRPs that include only pairs of stations.
