In a method for generating a preamble of a data unit for transmission via a communication channel, an indication of a first number of spatial or space-time streams is included in a first field of the preamble. The first number of spatial or space-time streams corresponds to transmission of the data unit to a first receiver. One or more training sequences are included in a second field of the preamble. The preamble is formatted such that the first field of the preamble will be transmitted prior to the second field of the preamble being transmitted.

A first message is received that includes a value indicative of a first timeout interval associated with configuring a second device to operate as a peer-to-peer (P2P) group owner or a P2P client in a P2P wireless network. A second timeout interval is determined based at least on the first timeout interval, and it is determined whether the second timeout interval expired. It is determined whether a second message is received from the second device prior to the second timeout interval expiring, and it is determined that a P2P connection with the second device failed based on a determination that the second message was not received from the second device prior to the second timeout interval expiring.

A discovery control system of a first device includes a mode selection module. The module selection module is configured to select a listen mode and a search mode. A discovery control module includes a probe request module. The probe request module is configured to generate a probe request signal within the first device and receive a probe response signal generated by a second device during the search mode. A probe response module is configured to generate a probe response signal within the first device during the listen mode and the search mode and based on a probe request signal generated by the second device.

Methods for transmitting information in a regulated spectrum and networks configured to operate within a regulated spectrum (and optionally, within a given geographic region) are disclosed. The methods generally include receiving or transmitting radio signals encoded with spectral allocation information, analyzing the spectral allocation information to determine available bands in the regulated spectrum for signal transmission, and transmitting signals on at least one of the available bands in the regulated spectrum. The spectral allocation information includes restriction(s) on a bandwidth or bandwidth range in the regulated spectrum; The network generally includes a central database storing the spectral allocation information, a transmitter configured to transmit radio signals encoded with the spectral allocation information, and a receiving device configured to receive the radio signals, analyze the available bands in the regulated spectrum from the spectral allocation information, and transmit signals on at least one of the available bands.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method that includes receiving, by a traffic arbiter, a predetermined time-slot allocation of one or more uplink time slots and/or one or more downlink time slots for a first wireless media access control (MAC) configured to operate within a first wireless transmission system. The method also includes determining, by the traffic arbiter, whether to grant a second wireless MAC, configured to operate within a second wireless transmission system, permission to transmit or receive based at least in part on the predetermined time-slot allocation.

A method in a receiving device that receives data from a plurality of transmitting devices via a shared wireless communication channel includes selecting a group of two or more transmitting devices from the plurality of transmitting devices for simultaneous transmission of respective data to the receiving device, so that each transmitting device in the group of transmitting devices transmits the respective data to the receiving device at a nominal power level of the transmitting device, and receiving the respective data from each in the group of transmitting devices simultaneously via the shared wireless communication channel.

A method includes generating first and second preambles for first and second data units corresponding to first and second PHY modes, respectively. Generating the first preamble includes generating a first STF, LTF, and SIG field. The first SIG field includes an OFDM symbol modulated according to a first modulation technique. The OFDM symbol begins a first time interval, and ends a second time interval, after the first LTF begins. Generating the second preamble includes generating a second STF and LTF. The second STF has a greater duration, and different repeating sequence, than the first STF. The second LTF includes a second OFDM symbol modulated according to a second modulation technique, and at least partially occupying a location beginning a third time interval, and ending a fourth time interval, after the second LTF begins. The third and fourth time intervals are equal to the first and second time intervals, respectively.
摘要:
In a method available frequency band for communication is determined and a frequency fc of a carrier is determined based on the available frequency band. The carrier is set to the frequency fc for communicating with one or more communication devices via a first communication channel within the available frequency band using. After communicating via the first communication channel, the carrier frequency fc is used for communicating with one or more communication devices via a second communication channel within the available bandwidth. A center frequency of the first channel is different than a center frequency of the second channel.

In a method for transmitting channel feedback data from a receiver to a transmitter, channel data for a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) tones for one or more spatial streams corresponding to a communication channel is determined. A plurality of angle values associated with the one or more spatial streams and one or more OFDM tones is determined. For each of the one or more spatial streams, a per-tone signal to noise ratio (PT-SNR) associated with one or more OFDM tones is determined, and an average signal to noise ratio (avg-SNR) is determined by averaging the signal to noise ratio (SNR) values. A feedback report is generated to include at least i) the plurality of angle values, ii) the PT-SNRs, and iii) the avg-SNR. The feedback report is included in a data unit to be transmitted from the receiver to the transmitter.

A station associates with an access point in a wireless local area network conforming to, e.g., an IEEE 802.11 standard. The station measures the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the downlink from each of the access points sending either a beacon or a probe response, and forms a first list of access points in decreasing order of received downlink SNR. The station transmits a link test request to each access point to query the access point for the SNR of the link test request received at the corresponding access point. Access points respond to the link test request with corresponding link test responses containing the corresponding SNR. The station i) forms a second list of access points in decreasing order of received uplink SNR and ii) compares the first and second lists to determine which access point to associate with based on overall quality of the uplink and downlink channels.
