Embodiments of a system and methods for distinguishing high-efficiency Wi-Fi (HEW) packets from legacy packets are generally described herein. In some embodiments, an access point may select a value for the length field of a legacy signal field (L-SIG) that is non-divisible by three for communicating with HEW stations and may select a value for the length field that is divisible by three for communicating with legacy stations. In some embodiments, the access point may select a phase rotation for application to the BPSK modulation of at least one of the first and second symbols of a subsequent signal field to distinguish a high-throughput (HT) PPDU, a very-high throughput (VHT) PPDU and an HEW PPDU.

Embodiments of a master station and method for communicating in a Wi-Fi network in accordance with a high-efficiency Wi-Fi (HEW) technique are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the master station is configured to communicate with scheduled stations using the antennas within a bandwidth comprising one or more 20 MHz Wi-Fi channels using a plurality of minimum orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) bandwidth units during an OFDMA control period during which the master station has exclusive control of a wireless medium. Each minimum OFDMA bandwidth unit may comprise a predetermined number of subcarriers that do not include guard subcarriers of the channel wherein the guard subcarriers are provided at band edges of the bandwidth, the guard subcarriers being in addition to the subcarriers of each of the minimum OFDMA bandwidth units. In some embodiments, no guard subcarriers are provided between the minimum OFDMA bandwidth units within a 20 MHz channel.

An apparatus, a method and a machine-readable storage medium to accommodate both high function and low cost wireless devices in a wireless network. An exemplary apparatus includes a receiver to wirelessly receive a first packet comprising first and second shifting pilot signals amidst first data symbols transmitted via multiple subcarriers in symbol sets; a transmitter to wireless transmit a second packet; and logic to track a phase shift using the first and second shifting pilot signals, to configure the receiver to compensate for the shift in phase, to refrain from using reception of the first and second shifting pilot signals to update an initial channel estimate derived from a preamble of the first packet, and to transmit third and fourth shifting pilot signals amidst second data symbols of the second packet.

Generally, arrangements for enabling direct medium access control (MAC) sublayer data frames are described herein. Embodiments may comprise logic such as hardware and/or code to reduce the size of a packet by determining a frame in the MAC sublayer, inserting the frame in the signal field of a preamble to transmit, transmitting the direct MAC data frame as a packet, communicating that the packet is a direct MAC data frame, and parsing and interpreting the direct MAC data frame at the receiving device. Embodiments may determine and transmit and/or receive and interpret direct MAC data frames.

Systems, devices, and methods for mitigating collisions between wireless transmissions operating at different bandwidths are disclosed. As such, a wireless device operating at a predefined bandwidth includes a transceiver that receives a signal across a wireless channel, a filter that generates a band-limited filtered signal at the predefined bandwidth of the wireless device, a correlating mechanism that correlates the band-limited filtered signal with a delayed, conjugated version of the band-limited filtered signal, logic that performs a moving average of the correlated filtered signals to determine correlation peaks, and logic configured to compare the correlation peaks with a predetermined threshold. With this configuration, if the correlation peaks are greater than the predetermined threshold, the received signal is determined to operate at a wider bandwidth than the predefined bandwidth of the wireless device, and the wireless device defers accessing the wireless channel to transmit until a predetermined time interval.

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.
摘要:
Pilot logic may determine based upon channel and phase information how to process pilot tones that shift locations every N symbols in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) packet transmission. Pilot logic may determine a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the channel to determine how to process the shifting pilot tones. Pilot logic may also determine channel and phase information updates such as channel state information and phase correction information from pilot tones. In situations of high SNR, logic may use channel estimates and phase rotations that are obtained from locations of the pilot tones for phase tracking and updating the equalizer. In situations of low SNR, logic may use the phase rotations for phase tracking and not update the equalizer during the OFDM transmission. Logic may also determine the presence or absence of a Doppler effect on the transmission and transmit a selection for N to an access point in response.

Embodiments of device-to-device (D2D) discovery, authentication, and connection techniques are generally described herein. In an example, a device-to-device connection establishment technique may be performed directly between peer-to-peer wireless communication devices without obtaining authentication information from a cloud network or an external service. The device-to-device connection establishment technique may include a transmission of a discovery request to available devices, a transmission of a response from available devices including authentication data, and a verification of the authentication data. The authentication data may include previously stored image data associated with a device or human user associated with a device. In further examples, image processing and image recognition techniques may be used to verify a particular device or human user associated with a device.

A method and system for allowing a client device to establish a direct communications session such as Wi-Fi Direct service using the 5 GHz band. In one embodiment, a client device first establishes a direct communications session, in the 2.4 GHz band with another client device, and then, based on the content used in that service, establishes a 5 GHz service if needed.
