    摘要: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product operable in a wireless communication system are provided in which a first signal is generated for transmission to a wireless node to enable the wireless node to determine a first preferred beam pattern. A second preferred beam pattern is determined from a second signal received from the wireless node. The apparatus communicates with the wireless node through at least one of the first or second preferred beam pattern.

    摘要: An apparatus for wireless communication is provided including a processing system. The processing system is configured to determine potential interference from communications with a first wireless node within a first coverage area through a first wireless interface, and to manage the potential interference when communicating with a neighboring apparatus within a second coverage area through a second wireless interface. The second coverage area is greater than the first coverage area and the neighboring apparatus is outside the first coverage area.

    摘要: A method of facilitating a silence period in a directional communication network is provided. The method may comprise initiating, by a first apparatus, a listening period mode, wherein the listening period mode comprises ceasing at least a portion of current communication and configuring the first apparatus to receive a request to initiate a new communication, determining whether a request is received during a time period in the listening period mode, and transmitting a response if the request to initiate the new communication is received during the time period in the listening period mode.

    摘要: A method includes sending a sequence number acknowledgement (SN-ACK) from a first device to a second device. The SN-ACK identifies a last consecutively correctly received data unit and includes a retry bit indicating whether at least one data unit of the plurality of data units was received by the first device subsequent to the last consecutively correctly received data unit. The method also includes, when the retry bit has a first value, sending a block acknowledgement (BA) after sending the SN-ACK. The BA includes a bitmap, where each particular bit of the bitmap indicates whether a corresponding data unit was correctly received. When the retry bit has a second value and one or more of the plurality of data units were incorrectly received by the first device, the first device receives a retransmission of one or more data units without sending the BA to the second device.

    摘要: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product operable in a wireless communication system are provided in which an access probe is generated for transmission to a wireless node. A first signal is generated for transmission to the wireless node. The first signal includes information corresponding to a first preferred beam pattern from the wireless node to the apparatus. A second signal is received from the wireless node including information corresponding to a second preferred beam pattern from the apparatus to the wireless node. The second preferred beam pattern is determined based on the access probe. The apparatus communicates with the wireless node using at least one of the first preferred beam pattern or the second preferred beam pattern.
