摘要:
An available frequency band for communication is determined, and a subset of communication channels from possible communication channels within the available frequency band is determined based on the available frequency band. A communication channel is selected from the subset of communication channels, and the selected communication channel is utilized to communicate with one or more communication devices.

A client station includes a transceiver module and an association module. The transceiver module is configured to receive a beacon from an access point. The beacon includes information of a first available channel that is not assigned for licensed use in a regulated frequency spectrum and that is available for use at a location of the access point. The association module is configured to associate the client station with the access point via the first available channel in response to the client station being within range of the location of the access point.

摘要:
In a method for generating a preamble of a data unit for transmission via a communication channel, an indication of a first number of spatial or space-time streams is included in a first field of the preamble. The first number of spatial or space-time streams corresponds to transmission of the data unit to a first receiver. One or more training sequences are included in a second field of the preamble. The preamble is formatted such that the first field of the preamble will be transmitted prior to the second field of the preamble being transmitted.

In a method for generating a physical layer (PHY) data unit for transmission via a communication channel, information bits to be included in the PHY data unit are encoded using a forward error correction (FEC) encoder. The information bits are mapped to a constellation symbols. Additionally, either the information bits are encoded according to a block coding scheme, or the constellation symbols are encoded according to the block coding scheme. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols are generated to include the constellation symbols and the PHY data unit is generated to include the OFDM symbols.

A first preamble for a first data unit includes a first long training field and a first signal field modulated according to a first technique. The first data unit is generated according to a first data unit format and includes the first preamble. A second preamble, generated for a second data unit, includes a second signal field and a second long training field. Information in the second signal field is repeated and/or the second long training field is generated so that a duration of the second long training field is longer than a duration of the first long training field. A portion of the second signal field is modulated according to a second technique or a portion of the second long training field is modulated according to the second technique to signal to a receiver that the second data unit is formatted according to a second data unit format.
摘要:
In a method of determining an available channel bandwidth in a communication system, wherein the communication system utilizes i) a set of component channels for transmitting data streams and ii) a set of access control channels, and wherein each of at least some of the access control channels partially overlaps, in frequency, at least one of the component channels, whether a primary channel of the access control channels is idle is determined. The primary channel partially overlaps, in frequency, at least a first one of the component channels. That a composite channel includes one or more of the component channels is determined based at least on a determination of whether the primary channel is idle. A signal is caused to be transmitted via the composite channel after determining that the composite channel includes one or more of the component channels.
摘要:
In a method implemented in a communication device an available bandwidth for transmitting one or more data frames is determined, wherein the available bandwidth corresponds to a first composite communication channel comprising a plurality of communication channels. A control frame to indicate a request to transmit via the first composite communication channel is generated, wherein the control frame includes a header, and wherein a portion of the header includes information indicating the bandwidth of the first composite channel. The control frame is transmitted via the first composite communication channel, wherein at least the portion of the header is duplicated in a plurality of bandwidth portions of the first composite communication channel.
摘要:
An aggregated physical layer (PHY) data unit for transmission of independent data for a plurality of stations via a communication channel is generated, wherein the aggregated PHY data unit includes i) a plurality of individual PHY data units corresponding to the plurality of stations and ii) information that indicates locations of at least some of the plurality of individual PHY data units within the aggregated PHY data unit. Beamforming is controlled while the aggregated PHY data unit is being transmitted. Transmission in an omnidirectional or quasi-omnidirectional manner is performed while the information that indicates locations of at least some of the plurality of individual PHY data units is transmitting. For each of the individual PHY data units, beamforming to the corresponding station is performed while at least some of the corresponding individual PHY data unit is being transmitted.
摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method that includes receiving, by a traffic arbiter, a predetermined time-slot allocation of one or more uplink time slots and/or one or more downlink time slots for a first wireless media access control (MAC) configured to operate within a first wireless transmission system. The method also includes determining, by the traffic arbiter, whether to grant a second wireless MAC, configured to operate within a second wireless transmission system, permission to transmit or receive based at least in part on the predetermined time-slot allocation.
