A wireless communication device and a method to establish a protected time for communication over a direct link between two stations of the same network. The method includes configuring at least one antenna for a direct link establishment, switching to a listening mode and waiting for a channel time allocation (CTA) for transmission. After receiving the CTA a source station sends a first frame to a destination station based on a channel time allocation value and receive a second frame from the destination station to complete an establishment the CTA.

Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of wireless communication beamforming. For example, an apparatus may include a wireless communication unit to process a beamforming frame communicated between a beamforming initiator station and a beamforming responder station subsequent to a Transmit (Tx) sector sweep by the beamforming initiator station, wherein transmission of the beamforming frame is from a first station of the beamforming initiator station or the beamforming responder station to a second station of the beamforming initiator station or the beamforming responder station, the beamforming frame comprises an indication of a selected Tx sector, based on the Tx sector sweep, to be used by the first station for transmitting a directional beamformed transmission to the second station.

Embodiments of wireless devices and methods for aggregate MPDU (A-MPDU) communications in an IEEE 802.11n network are generally described herein. Two or more A-MPDU subframes are aggregated to form an A-MPDU. In some embodiments, an access point (AP) that is configured for power-save multi-poll (PSMP) operation transmits a PSMP burst comprising a PSMP sequence of two or more A-MPDUs to a plurality of mobile stations (STA) during a downlink phase of the PSMP sequence. During PSMP operation, the AP is to receive a PSMP sequence of two or more A-MPDUs from the STAs during an uplink phase of the PSMP sequence.

Embodiments of a millimeter-wave communication station and method for multiple-access beamforming in a millimeter-wave network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, an initiating station performs multiple-access beamforming with one or more responding stations by announcing a number of sector-sweep (SS) slots of a beamforming training (BFT) period and a number of SS frames of each SS slot. One or more SS frames are received from one or more of the responding stations within one of the SS slots of the BFT period. The initiating station transmits one or more SS feedback frames to the responding stations within the one SS slot to indicate an antenna configuration to the responding stations for communication with the initiating station. The responding stations transmit a limited number of SS frames per SS slot based on the number of SS frames announced by the initiating station and transmit any additional SS frames in a next SS slot of the beamforming training period. Each SS frame contains an indication to the initiating station of an antenna configuration for communication with the responding station,

Embodiments of a method and apparatus for obtaining sounding measurements between an access point and a wireless station within a wireless local area network are described. Some embodiments relate to Wi-Fi networks and networks operating in accordance with one of the IEEE 802.11 standards. Some embodiments may allow an access point to request that multiple stations compute sounding measurements with minimal time delay between measurements. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
摘要:
A wireless communication device, and a wireless communication system and a method of beamforming is presented. The wireless communication system and/or device includes a beamformee unit, a beamformer unit and two or more antennas to transmit the data unit and the protocol data unit according to the beamformee and the beamformer units, respectively. The beamformee conveys feedback information by a data unit in one of the feedback positions that include an immediate feedback position, an aggregated feedback position and a delayed feedback position. The beamformer unit generates a protocol data unit including a control field that includes one of the feedback request information types which is selected from a Channel State Information or uncompressed Steering Matrix or compressed Steering Matrix, to request feedback from a remote communication device.

A wireless communication device, system and a method of forwarding frames between stations of a wireless communication system are disclosed. The wireless communication system includes a sending station, a forwarding station and a receiving station. The sending station is able to send a frame including a forwarding field, a receiving station address field, a sending station address field and a forwarding station address field. The forwarding station is able to receive said frame and to forward the frame as is to the receiving station. The receiving station upon receiving the frame reads the forwarding field and if the forwarding field indicates that the frame has been forward from the sending station, the receiving station exchanges the address of the sending station with the address of the receiving station and the address of the receiving station with the address of the sending station and sends a block acknowledge frame including exchanged addresses to the sending station via the forwarding station.
摘要:
A wireless communication device, a wireless communication system and a method of allocating a time slot during peer to peer communication over a millimeter wave wireless channel. The allocation of the time slot is done by truncating a channel time allocated time slot and releasing a truncated channel time allocation time slot for communication without a piconet network controller intervention and dynamically allocating a contention access period utilizing the released channel time of the allocated time.
