    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide methods and systems for adaptively controlling uplink communications parameters of a receiving station by an access point. In some embodiments, the uplink power and/or uplink rate of a receiving station is controlled by the access point based on uplink RSSI and/or SNR measurements of uplink packets sent by the receiving station to the access point. For example, the access point may adjust a target RSSI value based on the uplink RSSI and/or SNR measurements of uplink packets in the allocated resource unit. The adjusted target RSSI value is sent to the receiving station in a trigger frame from the access point and the receiving station may then set the uplink transmission power based on the target RSSI value.

    Abstract: A network device including a receiver module, a first channel estimate module, and a frequency equalizer. The receiver module is configured to receive a packet wirelessly transmitted over a channel to the network device, where the packet comprises a signal field, and where the signal field (i) comprises bits, or (ii) has corresponding sub-carriers. The first channel estimate module is configured to, (i) based on the signal field, perform multiple determinations, where each of the determinations indicates whether a respective one of the bits or a respective one of the sub-carriers has been modulated with a first predetermined value or a second predetermined value, and (ii) based on the determinations, output a first estimate of the channel. The frequency equalizer is configured to (i) receive a first signal including the packet, and (ii) equalize the first signal based on the first channel estimate.

    Abstract: In a wireless communication network that operates according to a communication protocol that permits transmissions via multiple channels corresponding to multiple different frequency bandwidths, a communication device receives a packet via a first communication channel that spans a first frequency bandwidth. The communication device determines a second communication channel for transmitting an acknowledgment packet, the second communication channel spanning a second frequency bandwidth that is less than the first frequency bandwidth, the acknowledgment packet responsive to receiving the packet. The communication device transmits the acknowledgment packet via the second communication channel.

    Abstract: A method for decoding an orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) data unit transmitted via an OFDM communication channel is described. A first OFDM symbol of the OFDM data unit is received at a communication device via a first sub-channel of the OFDM communication channel. A candidate OFDM symbol is detected by the communication device on a second sub-channel of the OFDM communication channel. A bandwidth of the OFDM communication channel is detected by the communication device based on the detected candidate OFDM symbol. At least one OFDM symbol of the OFDM data unit is decoded by the communication device based on the detected bandwidth.

    Abstract: A first sounding packet is transmitted from the wireless communication device to a calibration station. A first channel descriptor is generated based on the first sounding packet. A second sounding packet is transmitted from the calibration station to the wireless communication device. A second channel descriptor is generated based on the second sounding packet. The first channel descriptor and the second channel descriptor are obtained at a processor device. Calibration coefficients indicative of one or both of phase imbalance and amplitude imbalance between a receive radio frequency (RF) chain and a transmit RF chain at the wireless communication device are generated based on the first and the second channel descriptors. The calibration coefficients are sent from the processor device to the wireless communication device.

    Abstract: The present disclosure describes apparatuses and methods of interference cancellation for receivers with multiple antennas. In some aspects, an interference packet transmitted by an interfering device of a wireless environment is received via multiple antennas of a device. Based on the interference packet, an interference channel that describes interference in the wireless environment is estimated. The device then receives an intended packet through the wireless environment in which the interfering device is operating. At least a portion of interference received with the intended packet, such as interference caused by other interfering packets, is cancelled using the interference channel. By so doing, a receiver may reduce effects of interfering packets or signals of the wireless environment to improve receive performance (e.g., bit-error rate) for packets that are intended for reception by the device.
