    摘要: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate increased communication channel bandwidth efficiency in association with scheduled time periods that allocate channel access to particular stations. According to various aspects, systems and methods are described that facilitate providing and/or utilizing reverse direction grants in connection with scheduled channel access. Such systems and/or method can mitigate an amount of unused channel access time after a station completes data transmission prior to an end of the allocated period.

    摘要: Techniques to support beamforming for stations in a wireless network are described. A station may support beamforming with implicit or explicit feedback by having capabilities to transmit and receive sounding frames, responding to training request by sending a sounding frame, and responding to request for explicit feedback. In one explicit beamforming embodiment, the station may send a first frame with an explicit feedback request and may also send a Null Data Packet (NDP) having at least one training field but no data field. The station may receive a second frame with explicit feedback, which may be derived based on the NDP. The station may derive steering information based on explicit feedback and may then send a steered frame with beamforming based on steering information. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

    摘要: Techniques to improve the standby time of a station in a wireless network are described. An access point may advertise or convey a maximum listen interval and/or an association timeout supported by that access point. A station may operate in a power-save mode and may wake up every listen interval to receive a beacon and any potential traffic for the station. The station may select a suitable listen interval based on the maximum listen interval. The station may be dormant for a longer duration than the listen interval and may become active at least once in every association timeout in order to keep the association with the access point alive. The access point may also send broadcast and multicast traffic that might be of interest to stations in the power-save mode less frequently and using a special indication message.
