Abstract: Embodiments of a master station and method for communicating with a plurality of high-efficiency Wi-Fi (HEW) devices in a wireless network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the master station may contend for a wireless medium during a contention period to receive control of the medium for an HEW control period, and transmit an HEW control and schedule transmission at the beginning of the HEW control period. The HEW control and schedule transmission may include a schedule indicating channel resources for communications with the HEW devices during the HEW control period in accordance with a non-contention based multiple access technique. The channel resources indicated in the HEW control and schedule transmission may comprise subspaces within a wideband legacy channel bandwidth. Transmissions on HEW channels during the HEW control period may have symbol times aligned within each legacy channel for legacy-device coexistence.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for scheduling a narrowband uplink transmission from a wireless station to a wireless access point in response to a station-specific wideband downlink transmission from the access point to the station. A station-specific downlink frame includes a station identifier associated with the station, and further includes resource allocation information associated with an uplink transmission channel over which the station is to transmit an uplink frame. The station-specific downlink frame is transmitted from the access point to the station over a downlink transmission channel having an associated downlink bandwidth. Based on the resource allocation information, the access point receives the uplink frame from the station over the uplink transmission channel. The uplink transmission channel has an associated uplink bandwidth that is narrower than the downlink bandwidth of the downlink transmission channel. In some disclosed examples, the uplink transmission channel is a sub-channel of the downlink transmission channel.

Abstract: In a wireless network, a user equipment (UE) can communicate with an Evolved Node B (eNodeB). During at least some times, the UE transmits a data stream to the eNodeB, over one of several available antenna states on the UE. The antenna states can include one or more tuning states for each antenna port on the UE. At predetermined times, which can be periodic, the UE ceases transmission of the data stream, transmits a test signal sequentially over each of its antenna states, receives a signal back from the eNodeB indicating which of the antenna states provides the strongest signal, and switches to the indicated antenna state. After switching, the UE can resume transmission of the data stream over the indicated antenna state. In some examples, the UE can repeat the antenna tuning/retuning process periodically.

Abstract: A method for transmit time offset in a UL-MU-MIMO system monitors respective transmit powers, over a wireless channel, for a plurality of stations in the system. A respective transmit time offset is determined for each station in response to the respective transmit power of each station. A poll exchange sequence is initiated in which the transmit time offsets are transmitted to each respective station. An access point can then receive data from the stations at times adjusted by the respective transmit time offsets.
