摘要:
A wireless access point includes a medium access control circuit that generates a first traffic indication map announcing a restricted access window (RAW). A physical layer device transmits a first beacon, including the first traffic indication map, over a wireless medium. The RAW begins subsequent to the first beacon and ends prior to the next beacon. During the RAW, the physical layer device accesses the wireless medium using a first set of channel access parameters. Outside of the RAW, the physical layer device accesses the wireless medium using a second set of channel access parameters different than the first set. The second set includes channel access values respectively corresponding to access categories. A first frame, associated with a first access category, is transmitted after waiting for a period of time that is based on a channel access value corresponding to the first access category.

A client station includes a physical layer device to receive, from an access point, a requirement for assignment to a first power category among a plurality of power categories defined by the access point. Each of the plurality of power categories has a respective access priority associated with access to a communication channel. A request module is to determine whether an operating characteristic of the client station meets the requirement for assignment to the first power category and generate, in response to a determination that the operating characteristic meets the requirement, a request to be assigned to the first power category by the access point. The physical layer device is further to transmit the request to the access point and, based on whether the access point accepts or rejects the request, selectively access the communication channel according to a first access priority associated with the first power category.
摘要:
A preamble, a first portion of a data payload, a midamble, and a second portion of the data payload of a single data unit are generated. The midamble is to be transmitted subsequent to transmission of the first portion of the data payload and prior to transmission of the second portion of the data payload. The midamble includes an indication of at least one characteristic of the data payload such as an indication of a size of the second portion of the data payload, or whether or not the data payload includes one or more other portions in addition to the first and second portions. A network interface of a communication device is configured to generate the preamble, the first and second portions of the data payload, and the midamble.
摘要:
In a method implemented in a communication device configured to transmit PHY data units via a communication channel, first data and second data is received. The first data is modulated according to a first constellation having a first number of constellation points, and the second data is modulated according to a second constellation having a second number of constellation points higher than the first number of constellation points. The first data and the second data is parsed to a plurality of spatial streams such that a first subset of the spatial streams includes at least some of the modulated first data but none of the modulated second data, and a second subset of the spatial streams includes at least some of the modulated second data but none of the modulated first data. A single PHY data unit that includes the plurality of spatial streams is generated.
摘要:
A first communication device determines that each second communication device in a plurality of second communication devices has respective data to be transmitted to the first communication device. The first communication device transmits a request to the plurality of second communication devices to transmit data to the first communication device simultaneously during a transmit opportunity period of the first communication device. The first communication device receives data transmitted simultaneously by the plurality of second communication devices during the transmit opportunity period of the first communication device.

In a method for generating a physical layer (PHY) data unit for transmission via a communication channel, information bits to be included in the PHY data unit are encoded using a forward error correction (FEC) encoder. Also, the information bits are encoded according to a block coding scheme, where m copies of each bit are included in the information bits, and one or more bits in the m copies of each bit are flipped. The information bits are mapped to a plurality of constellation symbols, and a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols are generated to include the plurality of constellation symbols. The PHY data unit is generated to include the plurality of OFDM symbols.
摘要:
A first communication device receives a plurality of training signals associated with a transmit beamforming training portion of a current iteration of a beamforming procedure between the first communication device and a second communication device. A receive antenna weight vector (AWV) is applied to an antenna array as each of the plurality of training signals is received. A channel estimate is determined based on reception of the plurality of training signals, and feedback is determined based on the channel estimate. The feedback is transmitted to the second communication device as part of the current iteration of the beamforming procedure.

A first wireless device including a receiver and a transmitter. The receiver includes a channel estimation module configured to receive, from a second wireless device over a communication channel, a training packet and estimate a quality of the communication channel based on the training packet, and a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) determination module configured to determine an MCS based on one or more of the training packet and the estimated quality of the communication channel. The transmitter is configured to transmit, to the second wireless device over the communication channel, an indication of the MCS determined by the MCS determination module.
