摘要： A plurality of different orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) sub-channel blocks are assigned to a plurality of devices including a first device and a second device. The plurality of OFDM sub-channel blocks includes a first OFDM sub-channel block assigned to the first device and a second OFDM sub-channel block assigned to the second device. Data for the first device and data for the second device are received. OFDM data units are generated, wherein data for the first device is modulated on sub-channels in the first OFDM sub-channel block and data for the second device is modulated on sub-channels in the second OFDM sub-channel block. At least one of the OFDM sub-channel blocks is formatted to substantially conform to a physical layer specification of a WLAN communication protocol having a maximum channel bandwidth smaller than a bandwidth of the generated OFDM data units.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are provided for directing a beam towards a receiving device in the presence of interference. A beam transmitted by a transmission source is received by a received device. The beam shape is affected by signals transmitted by interfering sources. The receiving device computes channel estimates associated with the transmission source and the interfering sources. A feedback signal that represents the channel estimates associated with the transmission and interfering sources is transmitted to the transmission source. The transmission source changes characteristics of the beam to compensate for the interference caused by the interfering sources. The transmission source may change the characteristics of the beam by performing precoding algorithms.
