Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for indicating a data rate of a packet. The transmitting device may select the data rate of a data field of the packet to be transmitted to the receiving device, and may select a pattern to embed within a preamble of the packet based on the selected data rate. In some implementations, the transmitting device may select a first structure including a first number of instances of a sequence or its logical complement if the selected data rate is a low data rate, and may select a second structure including a second number of instances of the sequence or its logical complement if the selected data rate is a high data rate.

Abstract: A method of wirelessly communicating a packet can include generating, at a wireless device, a packet including a training field based on a training field tone plan. The method further includes populating training tones in the training field tone plan by duplicating tone positions from a base training field one or more times, and adding one or more additional sub-band direct current (DC) tones or edge tones. The method further includes transmitting the packet.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. The method may include transmitting, at an access point (AP), a wakeup waveform comprising a first preamble portion occupying a first bandwidth, the first preamble portion comprising six (6) or more orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, the sixth one of which is un-rotated binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulated and transmitting a second wakeup portion of the wakeup waveform occupying a second bandwidth that is less than the first bandwidth. The method may further include receiving a preamble, the preamble occupying a first bandwidth, identifying an un-rotated BPSK modulated symbol following a first preamble portion in the received preamble, and detecting that the preamble is associated with a wakeup waveform based at least in part on the identified un-rotated BPSK modulated symbol.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for estimating angular information of a received wireless signal. In some implementations, a receiving device may receive a wireless signal from a transmitting device, and estimate channel conditions, based on a number of sounding sequences, to determine a channel frequency response of the received wireless signal. The receiving device may determine a channel impulse response based an inverse discrete Fourier transfer (DFT) function or a partial inverse DFT function of the channel frequency response, and then select a portion of the channel impulse response. The receiving device may estimate an angle of arrival of the received wireless signal based on the selected portion of the channel impulse response.
