    Abstract: The application provides a method, including: generating a Physical Layer (PHY) Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) comprising both information for one or more first-generation stations (R1 STAs) and information for one or more second-generation stations (R2 STAs); and transmitting the PPDU to the one or more R1 STAs and the one or more R2 STAs, wherein a preamble portion of the PPDU comprises Resource Unit (RU) allocation entries corresponding to the one or more R1 STAs and RU allocation entries corresponding to the one or more R2 STAs.

    Abstract: An extremely high throughput (EHT) station (STA) configured for trigger based (TB) transmission may decode an trigger frame (TF) received from an access point (AP). The TF may include an assignment of resources comprising one or more 20 MHz channels. The EHT STA may determine which of the one or more assigned channels are available for transmission and which of the allocated channels are unavailable when the EHT STA is assigned more than one 20 MHz channel. The EHT STA may encode a EHT TB PPDU in response to the trigger frame. The EHT TB PPDU may be encoded to include an EHT preamble followed by a data field. The EHT preamble may be encoded to indicate channel availability. The EHT STA may generate signalling to cause the EHT STA to transmit the encoded EHT TB PPDU only on the assigned channels that have been determined to be available.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to extremely high throughput (EHT) trigger based (TB) preamble. A device may receive a trigger frame from an associated access point (AP), wherein the trigger frame comprises one or more resource unit (RU) bandwidths (BWs) allocated to the device. The device may generate an EHT physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) based on receiving the trigger frame from the access point, wherein the PPDU comprises an EHT preamble that includes a signaling (U-SIG) field. The device may encode the U-SIG field with an indication of one or more resource unit (RU) bandwidth (BW) allocations to be used for sending the PPDU to the AP, wherein the indication is a value associated with a first option of one or more options of selectable RU BWs. The device may cause to send the PPDU to the AP and an uplink data transmission direction.

    Abstract: An extremely high-throughput (EHT) station (STA) may encode a null data packet (NDP) announcement frame for transmission to include a high-efficiency (HE) subfield and a Ranging subfield in a Sounding Dialogue Token field. To identify the NDP announcement frame as an EHT NDP announcement frame (i.e., an EHT variant), the EHT STA may set both the HE subfield and the Ranging subfield in the Sounding Dialogue Token field to a value of one. When operating as an EHT access point (AP), the EHT STA may encode a trigger frame to include a Special User Info Field. The Special User Info Field may be identified by a predetermined value as an STA association identifier (AID) value. The use of the predetermined value as the AID value in the Special User Info Field indicates that the trigger frame is an EHT variant and indicates that the trigger frame is being sent by an EHT AP.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to phase shift ToA. A device may determine a first sounding frame received from an responding STA (RSTA), wherein the first sounding frame is received at a first time of arrival (ToA). The device may determine a second sounding frame received from an initiating STA (ISTA), wherein the second sounding frame is received at a second ToA. The device may identify a first reporting frame received from the RSTA. The device may identify a second reporting frame received from the ISTA. The device may extract a first phase shift time estimation from the first reporting frame. The device may extract a second phase shift time estimation from the second reporting frame. The device may determine a ranging location of the device based on the first ToA, the second ToA, the first phase shift time estimation, and the second phase shift time estimation.
