摘要:
In a wireless communication system wherein communication devices exchange information utilizing data units that conform to a first format, a beamforming training (BFT) data unit that conforms to a second format is transmitted, wherein a length of the BFT data unit is shorter than lengths supported by the first format, wherein the BFT data unit is for transmitting PHY beamforming training information. Information to indicate the BFT data unit conforms to the second format is transmitted to a receiving device. The BFT data unit is generated according to the second format, wherein the BFT data unit includes BFT information elements. The BFT data unit is then transmitted to the receiving device.

摘要:
A plurality of beacon data units are generated, and each beacon data unit in the plurality of beacon data units includes an indication that the beacon data unit can be used for transmit beamforming training. The plurality of beacon data units are transmitted via a plurality of antennas during a timeslot reserved for the transmission of beacons. A different beamforming vector is applied to a beamforming network as each beacon data unit is transmitted. In another aspect, a first beamforming training transmission corrupted by a collision is received. A first station to which the first beamforming training transmission corresponds is determined based on the first beamforming training transmission corrupted by the collision. In response to determining the first station, a signal is transmitted to the first station to prompt the first station to transmit a second beamforming training transmission.

In a wireless network in which communication devices are configured to use a first guard interval between symbols or a second guard interval between symbols, wherein the first guard interval has a length shorter than a length of the second guard interval, a field is generated to indicate a set of one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) supported by a first device in the wireless network and to indicate whether each of the one or more MCSs is supported when using the first guard interval. A data unit that includes the field is generated and transmitted to a second device in the wireless network.
