This disclosure describes methods, apparatus, and systems related to a high efficiency signal field coding system. A device may determine a high efficiency preamble in accordance with a high efficiency communication standard to be sent to one or more devices, the high efficiency preamble including at least in part a high efficiency signal field. The device may determine a common part included in the high efficiency signal field. The device may determine one or more device specific parts associated with the one or more devices. The device may encode the high efficiency signal field based at least in part on a predetermination combination of at least one of the common part or the one or more device specific parts. The device may cause to send the high efficiency preamble to the one or more devices, including the encoded high efficiency signal field.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes methods, apparatus, and systems related to a high efficiency signal field encoding structure. A device may determine a communications channel having a bandwidth of a frequency band. The device may determine a first group of subchannels of the bandwidth and a second group of subchannels of the bandwidth. The device may determine a high-efficiency signal field to be transmitted on the communications channel to a first device. The device may encode the high-efficiency signal field using the first group of subchannels and the second group of subchannels. The device may cause to send the high-efficiency signal field to the first device.

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe methods and apparatuses for selective application of cyclic shift diversity in uplink communications of mobile communication systems. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes systems, methods, computer readable media, and/or apparatus related to encoding wireless communication preamble structures with cyclic redundancy check (CRC) that is performed on both a common part, as well as, station specific parts of a signaling field. The signaling field generated by this mechanism may be relatively shorter, resulting in less preamble overhead, than if a separate CRC was to be provided for each of the station specific parts, as well as the common part of the signaling field. In additional embodiments, tail bits may be provided for a combination of the common part of the signaling field and each station specific part of the signaling field. Compared to providing tail bits separately for the common part and each of the station specific parts, removing the tail bits from the tail bits form the common part may result in relatively less overhead of the preamble structure.
Abstract:
A wireless communication device comprises a transceiver to communicate directly with one or more separate wireless devices in accordance with a WiFi communication protocol, and a controller. The controller is configured to initiate transmission of information using the transceiver upon expiration of a first contention window (CW) count value, detect whether the transmission is successful, change the CW count value to a second CW count value when the transmission is unsuccessful, and change the CW count value from the first CW count value to a third CW count value when the transmission is successful, wherein the third CW count value is a maximum value of one of the first CW count value divided by a specified binary number or a specified minimum CW count value.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards devices and methods for discovering and waking up dormant access nodes in cellular networks. In one embodiment, the dormant access nodes passively participate in a device-to-device discovery process to identify potential user equipment nearby. Upon identifying a potential user equipment, the dormant access node may wake itself up and inform a serving access node that that is able to service the user equipment. In another embodiment, dormant access nodes may transmit a discovery message periodically. Upon receiving the discovery message a user equipment may report the availability of the dormant access node to its serving access node.
Abstract:
Apparatuses, methods, and computer readable media for signaling high efficiency short training field are disclosed. A high-efficiency wireless local-area network (HEW) station is disclosed. The HEW station may comprise circuitry configured to: receive a trigger frame comprising an allocation of a resource block for the HEW station, and transmit a high efficiency short training field (HE-STF) with a same bandwidth as a subsequent data portion, wherein the transmit is to be in accordance with orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) and wherein the transmit is within the resource block. A subcarrier allocation for the HE-STF may match a subcarrier allocation for the subsequent data portion. The HE-STF and the subsequent data portion may be transmitted with a same power. A total power of active subcarriers of the HE-STF may be equal to or proportional to a second total of data subcarriers and pilot subcarriers of the subsequent data portion.

Abstract:
Embodiments for long training field (LTF) sequences or other types of sequences in uplink multi-user multiple-input multiple-output communications are provided. The LTF sequences can permit channel estimation, including determination of carrier frequency offsets. In some embodiments, an LTF sequence can be formatted and/or conveyed without reliance on pilot tones. In other embodiments, the LTF sequence can rely on pilot tones, where a sequence associated with the pilot tones can include elements that are orthogonal among transmitter station devices that communicate according to MU-MIMO.
