Logic may implement an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system operating in the one gigahertz and lower frequency bands. Logic may detect new long training sequences that are differentially orthogonal to each other for a first bandwidth mode of operation such as a one megahertz mode as well as differentially orthogonal to half of the long training sequence for a second bandwidth mode of operation such as a two megahertz or greater mode. Logic may implement two or more long training sequences for the first bandwidth mode of operation to transmit information based upon the selection of the particular long training sequence for the transmission. Logic may implement a new acknowledgement packet comprising a short training sequence and a long training sequence without a signal field and without a payload. And logic may implement bandwidth detection logic to classify a transmission based upon orthogonal properties of the long training sequences.

Embodiments of a high-efficiency WLAN (HEW) master station and method for communicating in accordance with a scheduled OFDMA technique on secondary channels are generally described herein. An access point is configured to operate as part of a basic-service set (BSS) that includes a plurality of high-efficiency WLAN (HEW) stations and a plurality of legacy stations. The BSS operates on a primary channel and one or more secondary channels. In accordance with some embodiments, the access point may communicate with one or more of the HEW stations on one or more of the secondary channels in accordance with a scheduled OFDMA communication technique when the primary channel is utilized for communication with one or more of the legacy devices.

Embodiments of a master station and method for high-efficiency Wi-Fi (HEW) communication using traveling pilots are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the master station is arranged for communicating with a plurality of HEW and may be configured to transmit, during an initial portion of an HEW control period, a master-sync transmission that includes a multi-device HEW preamble arranged to signal and identify data fields for a plurality of scheduled HEW stations. The master station may transmit during the HEW control period the data fields with traveling pilots to the scheduled HEW stations. The master station may also receive data fields with traveling pilots transmitted by the scheduled HEW stations during the HEW control period. The traveling pilots may comprise pilot signals that are shifted among orthogonal-frequency multiplexed (OFDM) subcarriers during transmission of one or more of the data fields.

Some new low power architecture devices may, e.g., be associated with in a new device category in the IEEE 802.11ah Standard for devices with low power architecture. Some new low power architecture devices may only to support a subset of modulation and coding schemes (MCSs). Some new low power architecture devices negotiate the use of the subset of MCSs with an access point. Further new low power architecture devices address power consumption through modifications to the architecture of the new low power device. For instance, many new low power architecture devices remove, modify or bypass portions of the front-end transmitter circuitry and/or the front-end receiver circuitry such as a power amplifier, a low noise amplifier, predistortion circuitry, digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital converter resolutions, and stages of filtering.

Logic may calculate predicted phase rotations based upon more than one previously determined phase rotation. Logic may access memory to store and retrieve previously determined phase rotations to calculate predicted phase rotations. Logic may determine channel information updates such as channel state information and phase correction information from pilot tones that do not travel close to the direct current (DC) tone or the band edge (or guard) tones and replace the missing phase rotations with predicted phase rotations. Logic may skip phase tracking from pilot tones that have traveled close to the DC tone or the edge tones or that experience channel fading, which may result in a predicted phase rotation being more accurate than a phase rotation determined by processing the corresponding pilot tone.
摘要:
Logic of an access point may transmit a null data packet for beamforming training and transmit a beamforming report poll to the first station on a user list before receiving a transmission from the first station on the user list. Logic may wait for a timeout period to determine whether the first station on the user list will respond to the null data packet prior to transmitting the beamforming report poll. Logic may receive from the first station an indication that the first station is a slow beamforming report responder. Logic may reorder the user list to position a fast beamforming responder as the first station. And logic of the station may determine that the station is unable to complete and transmit the report so the logic may wait to transmit the beamforming report in response to a subsequent beamforming report poll frame.

摘要:
The disclosure generally relates to a shortened training field preamble structure for high-efficiency Wi-Fi environments. In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to a communication system having a transmitter transmitting a Master-Sync packet received by stationary and mobile receivers. The Master-Sync packet contains information for communicating in a HEW environment. Upon receipt each receiver decodes the Master-Sync packet to (i) estimate a frequency offset and/or an automatic gain control (AGC) setting; (ii) select a transmission frequency consistent with the frequency offset; and/or (iii) determine a new transmission power consistent with the AGC; (iv) tune to a new frequency offset and gain control setting to receive subsequent packets from the transmitter.
