Abstract:
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to byte boundary shift. A device may utilize a probabilistic constellation shaping mechanism comprising a shaping encoder, a channel encoder, and a modulator to generate one or more QAM symbols. The device may set a shaping output block to have a fixed length of output bits. The device may set shaping input bits used in the shaping encoder, wherein the input bits are a multiple of a first number of bits.
Abstract:
An access point (AP) configured for multi-AP coordinated beamforming (CBF) and multi-AP joint transmission (JT) in an Extremely High Throughput (EHT) wireless local area network (WLAN), when operating as a master AP (AP1) in a multi-AP network, is configured to encode a null data packet announcement (NDPA) frame for multi-AP channel sounding. The NDPA is configured for transmission to a second AP (AP2) and a plurality of stations (STAs) of an EHT group. The NDPA may be encoded to have an information field indicating whether a sounding sequence type is for JT channel sounding or CBF channel sounding. The NDPA may further be encoded to include fields identifying the APs participating in the channel sounding. In these embodiments, the channel sounding sequence for JT can be reused for the channel sounding on CBF.
Abstract:
Fractional symbol based phase noise mitigation, including methods and systems to determine phase noise trajectory, or indication of phase noise, for each of multiple fractional portions of a frequency domain symbol, and modify the symbol based on the phase noise trajectories of the subsets. Multiple correction hypotheses may be generated for each fractional portion of the symbol based on pre-defined phase noise hypotheses. The correction hypotheses may include frequency domain correction hypotheses. The correction hypotheses for a subset may be evaluated to select one of the phase noise hypotheses as the trajectory for the subset. The evaluation may include applying each correction hypothesis to a corresponding equalized frequency domain symbol to generate corresponding symbol hypotheses, computing a signal quality for each symbol hypothesis, and comparing the signal qualities. Signal qualities may be determined as error vector magnitudes, and may be based on all or a subset of corresponding symbol tones.
Abstract:
Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of combining received wireless communication signals. For example, a device may include a radio-frequency (RF) combiner to combine first and second wireless communication RF signals of a wireless communication frame received via first and second respective antennas, into a combined signal; and a base-band phase estimator to estimate a phase difference between the first and the second antennas, and to provide to the RF combiner a feedback corresponding to the phase difference, wherein the radio-frequency combiner is to combine the first and the second RF signals according to the feedback.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for decoding a frame control header message in a wireless communication transmission are disclosed. The method comprises assuming at least some of the bits comprising the frame control header message are constant across multiple frames or are known a priori and generating metrics at least from the bits of the frame control header message that are assumed to be constant or are known a priori. The method further comprises decoding the metrics, for example, with a Viterbi decoder or using chase combining, to yield the decode frame control header message.
Abstract:
Embodiments of methods and means for auto-correlating wireless signal samples are provided. Such embodiments include local normalization of each signal sample by a root mean square level of samples that preceded it, prior to any summation of the auto-correlation procedure. These auto-correlated signal samples are then used to distinguish downlink from uplink signals present within the signal sample set. Other embodiments include auto-correlation techniques in which no normalization is performed at any time with respect to the summation procedure. Such auto-correlated samples are then scanned to detect a preamble symbol or symbols within the signal samples. Reliable and expeditious wireless communications under WiMAX 802.16e and other protocols can be achieved in accordance with the present embodiments.

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices for signaling multiple modulation and coding schemes for a single user. A device may generate a common field of an ultra-high reliability signal (UHR-SIG) content channel field, the common field including signaling for station devices; generate a number of spatial streams (NSS) subfield of a user specific field of the UHR-SIG content channel field, the user specific field addressed to a first station device of the multiple station devices; generate a 6-bit modulation and coding scheme (MCS) subfield of the user specific field, wherein the 6-bit MCS subfield maps, based on a number of spatial streams signaled by the NSS subfield, to one or more MCSs assigned to the first station device; generate a frame including the UHR-SIG content channel field, wherein a user field of the user specific field includes at least 22 bits including the MCS subfield; and send the frame.

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to extended range modulation and coding scheme (MCS). A device may generate a first orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) signal to be transmitted in a frequency band. The device may generate a second OFDM signal to be transmitted in the frequency band, wherein the second OFDM signal is a duplicate of the first signal. The device may assign a reduced number of guard intervals (GIs) to the first OFDM signal and the second OFDM signal. The device may cause to send the first OFDM signal and the second OFDM signal using the frequency band.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to enhanced feedback for secure mode wireless communications. A device may send a first null data packet (NDP) to a second device, and identify a second NDP received from the second device. The device may identify a location measurement report (LMR) received from the second device, the LMR including a first channel response indicative of a first arrival time of the first NDP at the second device and a first phase shift associated with the first NDP. The device may generate a second channel response indicative of a second arrival time of the second NDP at the device and a second phase shift associated with the second NDP. The device may determine that the first channel response does not match the second channel response, and may identify an attempted attack.
