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.

In a first aspect, an aggregated packet (A-MPDU) includes packets (MPDUs) and EC-Blocks (Error Correction Blocks) containing error correction coding information. A transmitter uses a Fountain coding scheme (for example, Raptor or RaptorQ) to generate the error correction coding information from the MPDUs. If a receiver detects an error in a received MPDU, then the receiver uses the error correction coding information from the EC-Blocks to correct the error. In a second novel aspect, a determination is made as to whether a change in error rate is more likely due to collisions or to a low SNR. If the determination is that the change is due to collisions then the MCS index is adjusted to restore a target error rate, whereas if the determination is that the change is due to a low SNR then the number of EC-Blocks per A-MPDU is adjusted to restore the target error rate.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for using information in a Very High Throughput Signal B (VHT-SIG-B) field in the preamble of a null data packet (NDP). Retaining the VHT-SIG-B field in NDPs offers several advantages, such as maintaining a unified IEEE 802.11ac preamble structure, providing for 4 μs extra time to process beamforming feedback, and being able to use information in the VHT-SIG-B field to determine a level of interference in the NDP.

Various methods and apparatuses for transmitting an allocation of time in a wireless communication system are disclosed. In one aspect, an allocation of time for receiving communications via a receive beam direction is transmitted. The allocation of time may be based on information regarding an apparatus known to be located in the receive beam direction. A unique time for receiving communications from each known apparatus may be allocated, or a duration of time for receiving communications from the known apparatuses may vary based on a number of apparatuses known to located in a receive beam direction.

A method for wireless communications is provided that includes receiving a plurality of packets using a first radio link from an apparatus; reconstructing an index for the plurality of packets for use in a second radio link; determining reception state information indicating whether each packet in the plurality of packets has been received correctly; and receiving additional packets based on the index and the reception state information. Apparatuses for performing the methods are also disclosed.

Aspects of the present disclosure propose a method for determining preferred transmit and receive antenna patterns of a wireless device with respect to another wireless device. The method generally includes determining the beamforming or calibrating coefficients corresponding to the preferred transmit and receive antenna patterns of a wireless device iteratively.

A communication device for allocating tones is described that includes a processor and instructions in memory in electronic communication with the processor. The communication device determines whether a bandwidth for signal transmission is 20, 40, 80 or 160 megahertz (MHz). The communication device respectively allocates tones for 20, 40, 80 or 160 MHz as follows: for a very high throughput (VHT) signal A1 (VHT-SIG-A1): 52, 104, 208, 416; a VHT signal A2 (VHT-SIG-A2): 52, 104, 208, 416; a VHT short training field (VHT-STF): 12, 24, 48, 48; one or more VHT long training field(s) (VHT-LTF(s)): 56, 114, 242, 484; a VHT signal B (VHT-SIG-B): 56, 114, 242, 484; and a data field (DATA): 56, 114, 242, 484. The communication device also transmits the signal.

Methods and apparatus are provided for performing and utilizing residual frequency offset estimation and correction in Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 waveforms. Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a technique for enabling one to perform good channel estimation with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)>33 dB, even in the presence of residual frequency errors. Further, certain aspects may enable one to support uplink Spatial Division Multiple Access (UL-SDMA), even in the presence of residual frequency offsets at the client side.
摘要:
A MIMO-OFDM system may use different types of space-frequency code matrices for encoding data on multiple substreams for transmission on multiple antennas. The system may utilize a MIMO-OFDM frame format that includes additional long training OFDM symbols for training additional antennas and for link adaptation and a header with an additional SIGNAL symbol to indicate MIMO-OFDM-specific information.

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.
