摘要： A network controller may schedule directional communications between two devices in its own network in such a way as to avoid potential interference from anticipated transmissions from another device. In some instances, the network controller may be one of the two devices using the directional communications. The timing of the anticipated transmissions may be determined by the network controller based on its own observations, or it may be informed of that timing in a transmission from a device in its own network. A possible format is given for transmitting that information to the network controller.

摘要： Apparatuses, systems, and methods that enable native MAC support of beamforming are contemplated. An embodiment may comprise a mobile computing device, such as a laptop, with wireless communications capabilities, such as an integrated wireless networking card. The networking card of the laptop may transmit and receive various types of frame data using one or more beamforming techniques. Upon establishing a link with another wireless device, the laptop may sense that the link quality is degrading. Instead of having to reestablish a new link using dedicated BF frames and the conventional BF protocol, embodiments described herein may instead transmit beamforming information in various types of frames which enable the wireless communication devices to adjust the beamforming parameters in a more efficient manner. For example, the devices may include beamforming information in control frames and data frames and transmit the frames in a sweeping sector fashion.

摘要： Devices, systems and methods of selecting a station of a wireless network to perform the role of the wireless network controller or control point. The station may receive a request to check the capabilities of the station in order to select the wireless network controller wherein the request includes sending station capabilities values. The station checks the station capabilities by comparing the station self capabilities values with the sending station capabilities values in descending capabilities priority order and if the station capability value is higher than the sending station capability value then the station may selects the station with the highest capability value as the wireless network controller.

摘要： Techniques for radio resource measurement (RRM) that support directionality, as well as scheduled media access techniques are described. For instance, a measurement request may be transmitted from a first device to a second device. This measurement request directs the second device to take one or more measurements of a wireless channel. Various characteristics for the one or more measurements may be included in the measurement request. For example, the measurement request may indicate at least one directional parameter and at least one timing parameter for the one or more measurements. In response to the request, the first device receives a measure report that includes measured values for each of the one or more measurements.

摘要： Self-coexistence of first and second wireless communication networks (200) is improved by transmitting a coexistence beacon from a first station (210, 220) of the first wireless communication network (200) to a first station (210, 220) of the second wireless communication network (200. The coexistence beacon includes information about a traffic reservation of the first station (210, 220) of the first wireless communication network (200). The first station (210, 220) of the second wireless communication network (200) may then use this information in a variety of ways to reduce data collisions between the two networks (200). It can communicate this information to a base station (210) of the second wireless communication network (200). The base station (210) of the second wireless communication network (200) can then use this information to more efficiently allocate frequency channels and/or time slots for future traffic reservations of the first station (220) of the second wireless communication network (200).

摘要： In a wireless communication network (200) comprising a base station (210) and a plurality of remote terminals (220), the plurality of remote terminals (220) are divided into a plurality of clusters (230) for communication with the base station (210), and each of the remote terminals (220) is assigned to a cluster (230) based on at least one characteristic, measured by one or more of the remote terminals (220), of one or more external signals transmitted by one or more external terrestrial transmitters (250) not associated with the communication network (200). Accordingly: a parameter of a communication between the base station (210) and each remote terminal (220) may be selected according to the cluster (230) to which each remote terminal (220) belongs; remote terminals (220) within a cluster (230) may be enabled to communicate directly with each other; and/or remote terminals (220) may be selected to perform frequency spectrum profile measurements of the frequency band used by the communication network (200) according to the clusters (230) to which they are assigned.
