Embodiments of a wireless device and method for transmitting a packet comprising one or more orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) transmission symbols are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the wireless device may be configured to map data to active tones and map zeroes to nulled tones of a set of OFDM tones to generate an OFDM symbol comprising both the active and the nulled tones. The number of active and nulled tones may be based on a nulling factor. The OFDM symbol may be down-clocked to generate an OFDM transmission symbol for transmission over a reduced transmission bandwidth. Accordingly, low power may be used for very low data rate transmissions, which may be suitable for sensor devices.

Embodiments of a wireless communication device and method for multi-MCS OFDM transmissions at different transmission power levels are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the wireless communication device may have a multi-MCS OFDM transmitter that is configured to encode data for transmission over two or more RF channels with a single encoding scheme to generate an encoded data stream. The transmitter may segment bits of the encoded data stream into a bit stream for each of the RF channels based on a selected modulation level for each of the two or more RF channels. A separate time-domain multicarrier waveform may be concurrently transmitted on each of the two or more RF channels at a power level that is selected not to exceed a maximum allowable transmit power level for that RF channel. The modulation level for each RF channel may be selected based at least in part on the maximum allowable transmit power level for that RF channel.

The disclosure generally relates to a shortened training field preamble structure for high-efficiency Wi-Fi environments. In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to a communication system having a transmitter transmitting a Master-Sync packet received by stationary and mobile receivers. The Master-Sync packet contains information for communicating in a HEW environment. Upon receipt each receiver decodes the Master-Sync packet to (i) estimate a frequency offset and/or an automatic gain control (AGC) setting; (ii) select a transmission frequency consistent with the frequency offset; and/or (iii) determine a new transmission power consistent with the AGC; (iv) tune to a new frequency offset and gain control setting to receive subsequent packets from the transmitter.

Techniques to manage dwell times for pilot rotation are described. An apparatus may comprise a memory configured to store a data structure with a set of modulation and coding schemes (MCS) available to an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system, each MCS having an associated pilot dwell time. The apparatus may further comprise a processor circuit coupled to the memory, the processor circuit configured to identify a MCS to communicate a packet using multiple subcarriers of the OFDM system, and retrieve a pilot dwell time associated with the MCS from the memory, the pilot dwell time to indicate when to shift a pilot tone between subcarriers of the multiple subcarriers during communication of the packet. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Logic for collision mitigation between transmissions of wireless transmitters and receivers operating at different bandwidths. Logic of the receivers may be capable of receiving and detecting signals transmitted at narrower bandwidths. In several embodiments, the receivers comprise a clear channel assessment logic that implements a guard interval (or cyclic prefix) detector to detect transmissions at narrower bandwidths. For instance, a two MegaHertz (MHz) bandwidth receiver may implement a guard interval detector to detect 1 MHz bandwidth signals and a 16M Hz bandwidth receiver may implement logic to detect one or more 1 MHz bandwidth signals and any other combination of, e.g., 1, 2, 4, 8 MHz bandwidth signals. In many embodiments, the guard interval detector may be implemented to detect guard intervals on a channel designated as a primary channel as well as on one or more non-primary channels.

Embodiments may comprise an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system operating in the 1 GHz and lower frequency bands. In many embodiments, the physical layer logic may implement repetition logic to repeat portions of the data streams to increase the ability of a receiving device to detect and decode the data streams. In some embodiments, the repetition logic may comprise a preamble repeater to repeat the training and/or signal fields. In further embodiments, the repetition logic may comprise a payload repeater to repeat the payload one or more times. Other embodiments comprise a receiving device comprising a correlator to correlate the repeated preamble symbols to detect a communication from a transmitting device. The receiving device may also comprise correction logic to correct data streams from the communications signal based upon repetitions of the payload in the data streams.
摘要:
Logic may comprise a single phase tracking implementation for all bandwidths of operation and the logic may adaptively change pre-defined and stored track parameters if the receiving packet is 1 MHz bandwidth. Logic may detect a packet and long training fields before performing a 1 MHz classification. Logic may auto-detect 1 MHz bandwidth transmissions by a property of the long training field sequences. Logic may auto-detect 1 MHz bandwidth transmissions by detecting a Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) modulated first signal field symbol rather than the Quadrature Binary Phase Shift Keying (QBPSK) associated with the 2 MHz or greater bandwidth transmissions. Logic may perform an algorithm to determine an estimated phase correction value for a given orthogonal frequency division multiplexing symbol and several embodiments integrate this value with an intercept multiplier that may be 0.2 for 1 MHz transmissions and, e.g., 0.5 for 2 MHz or greater bandwidth communication.
摘要:
Embodiments may comprise logic such as hardware and/or code to reduce power consumption by, e.g., a device such as a station or relay by implementing prediction logic to decode and determine whether a communication affects the operation of the device. Some embodiments may comprise logic to receive at least a portion of a header of a frame from a physical layer and begin to decode the portion of the header of the frame without first checking the correctness of the value in the frame check sequence field. In many embodiments, prediction logic may determine whether the frame could have an impact on the operation of the device. For circumstances in which the prediction logic determines that the frame will not have an impact, the MAC logic may terminate processing, receipt, and decoding of the frame and enter the device into a low power consumption state.
摘要:
Examples are disclosed for updating a wireless communication channel estimation. In some examples, a packet may be transmitted or received via a communication channel, the packet having one or more pilot signals that may shift between subcarrier frequencies based on a predetermined first variable associated with a first time duration. A second variable associated with a second time duration may be determined by the receiver of the data packet. The second variable may enable a receiver of the data packet to decide how many pilot signals may be used to update an initial channel estimation for the communication channel. Other examples are described and claimed.
