Generally, embodiments to enable short frames are described herein. Embodiments may comprise logic such as hardware and/or code to reduce the size of a packet by determining a short frame, transmitting the short frame, communicating that the frame is a short frame and interpreting the short frame at the receiving device. Embodiments may determine and transmit and/or receive and interpret short frames.

Some embodiments provide a normal rate preamble detector to detect a signal transmitted in accordance with a first set of modulation and coding schemes and a low rate preamble detector to detect a signal transmitted in accordance with a second set of modulation and coding schemes. Embodiments may comprise channel traffic logic to determine a traffic indicator indicative of traffic on a communications channel. In many embodiments, channel traffic logic may comprise logic to determine a duty cycle of communications to determine the traffic indicator for the channel. In several embodiments, channel traffic logic may comprise logic to determine channel occupancy to determine the traffic indicator. Based upon the traffic indicator, channel traffic logic may determine whether to disable the low rate preamble detector. Further embodiments comprise logic to design a station, determining whether to include a low rate preamble detector based upon parameters related to channel traffic.

Embodiments may comprise physical layer logic to implement a new, short acknowledgement. Embodiments may store the short acknowledgement on a machine-accessible medium. Some embodiments may determine and transmit a communication with the short acknowledgement. Further embodiments may receive and detect communications with the short acknowledgement. The short acknowledgement may reduce power consumption and reduce on-the-air time.

Certain embodiments of the invention may include systems, methods, and apparatus for a short beacon in low rate Wi-Fi communications. According to an example embodiment of the invention, a method is provided for generating a short beacon. The method can include generating a short beacon frame for transmission at a selectable beacon interval. The short beacon frame includes: a beacon timestamp field, a service set identifier (SSID) field, and one or more capability fields; and generating a traffic indicator map (TIM) frame for transmission at a selectable TIM interval. The TIM frame includes a TIM timestamp field, a check beacon field, and a TIM; and converting the short beacon frame and the TIM frame for wireless transmission over a hardware transmission medium.

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.
摘要:
Disclosed in some examples is a method of channel access by a wireless device in a wireless network by determining whether there is network traffic associated with a preamble of a first type and whether there is network traffic associated with a preamble of a second type, wherein the wireless device is not capable of decoding the preamble of the second type, and wherein determining that there is network work traffic associated with a preamble of the second type includes determining that an energy level of the channel is above a threshold for a period of time, the first and second preamble types being different lengths; and sending a packet with a preamble of the first type, responsive to determining that no network traffic is detected associated with the preamble of the second type or network traffic associated with a preamble of the first type for the period of time.
摘要:
Logic may enable client devices or access points to relay medium access control (MAC) frames through a Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) Direct network such as a network of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) connections to extend the wireless range of the devices or access points beyond the transmission range of the individual devices or access points. Logic may extend the range of IEEE 802.11 devices, such as IEEE 802.11ah devices, by allowing a station in the middle of two stations to serve as a relay station using the Wi-Fi Direct technology. Logic may enable relaying to avoid a full mesh technology such as is defined in IEEE 802.11s, since the full mesh technology may contain too many features that are not required for a simple or a static network configuration of such embodiments.
