Abstract:
Multiple wireless devices in a network perform full duplex communication in which the transmission path and receiving path are spatially separated to allow simultaneous transmission and receiving. The wireless devices can either be controlled using a centralized, or point, coordination function or a distributed coordination function. A full-duplex wireless device senses the medium during transmission by itself and selectively continues the transmission when a signal is sensed on the medium. A full-duplex wireless device measures signal being transmitted by its transmitter and estimates parameters that can be used to cancel the contribution of the locally transmitted signal to the locally received signal concurrently being received during the transmission. The transmit antenna and the receive antenna of a full-duplex wireless device can be configured to be spatially isolated from each other to minimize interference between the antenna functions.
Abstract:
A wireless device performs a transmission on a primary and auxiliary access channels to enable reception by at least three base stations. The base stations perform a measurement on the received transmission, e.g., a time of arrival of the transmission. The base stations report their measurements to a position determination entity. The position determination entity estimates geographic position of the wireless device. One method used by the position determination entity includes tri-lateralization based on the received measurement reports.
Abstract:
A transmitting wireless device provides channel access information to a receiving wireless device for the receiving wireless device to make a determination of when to transmit and what transmissions parameters to use for the transmission. The channel access information may be used differently by wireless devices operating in a basic service set and an overlapping basic service set. Channel access information may include fields indicative of transmission power used, signal to noise ratio headroom available, and so on. Channel access information may be generated and transmitted at the PHY layer of an implementation, thus providing a fast delivery to the receiving wireless device.

The present document discloses methods, systems, and devices related to digital wireless communications, and more specifically, to techniques related to utilizing the multi-link channel assessment mechanism and multi-link channel access to reduce the access delay, improve transmission reliability, and increase transmission throughput. In one exemplary aspect, a method for wireless communication includes identifying, by a radio node, a first priority indicator associated with a data packet. The method also includes, responsive to identifying the first priority indicator associated with the data packet, transmitting, by the radio node, the data packet on a first available link detected via a multi-link clear channel assessment, the transmission of the data packet being prioritized to occur before transmission of another data packet that does not include the first priority indicator.

The method also includes transmitting a multi-network node association request message to the first network node and the second network node to associate the first network node and second network node into a group of network nodes.
Abstract:
A method of setup a protection mechanism for scheduled transmissions to multiple stations is introduced. Through transmitting a control frame addressing to multiple stations for immediate simultaneous responses, the transmitter would know the stations that are ready for receiving the scheduled data frames and schedule the packet for those stations. Combining the transmission of the control frame with the power saving mechanism would allow triggering a group of power saving stations to wake up at same for receiving the control frame and scheduled user data frames. A new mechanism of simultaneous group responses to the control frame with orthogonal identifier information for individual station is provided to uniquely identify the responding stations.
Abstract:
A transmitting wireless device dynamically and periodically transmits beacon frames including either full set of information or a partial information about the BSS. The wireless device schedules the target beacon transmission time and target dynamic beacon transmission time to have different starting time and different interval for each BSS. A Nack based mechanism for detecting and report missing dynamic beacon frames is used to provide the wireless access point with a feedback information of dynamic beacon transmission for improving the transmission efficiency and reliability. A wireless station receives the transmitted beacon frames and uses the information in the beacon frames to associate with a wireless network.

Methods, systems, and devices relate to digital wireless communication, and more specifically, to techniques relate to dynamic change MAC address of the station for subsequent transmissions. In one exemplary aspect, a method of dynamic change MAC address includes specifying a MAC address change mode and a new MAC address to be used by the station. In another exemplary aspect, a method of dual MAC address change mode in the dynamic change MAC address mechanism includes separating the unchanged MAC address of the station from the changeable MAC address of the station, and keep the mapping between them. In another exemplary aspect, a method includes transmitting a MAC address change request message from the station (or the access point) to initiate the MAC address change procedure. In another exemplary aspect, a method includes receiving a MAC address change response message from the access point (or the station).
