    摘要: Systems and techniques relating to wireless communications are described. A described technique includes determining a primary access category for a transmission opportunity (TXOP) to transmit data to a primary wireless communication device based on a first back-off timer associated with the primary access category; determining a secondary access category for the TXOP to transmit data to a secondary wireless communication device; and transmitting, during the TXOP, spatially steered streams that concurrently provide separate data to respective devices comprising the primary and the secondary device.

    摘要: A method for generating OFDM signals is implemented in a device operating according to a communication protocol. The protocol defines non-duplicate mode data units corresponding to single component channels of a BSS channel, and non-duplicate mode data units corresponding to sets of adjacent component channels. Non-duplicate mode data units corresponding to a set of component channels have more lower-edge and/or upper-edge guard tones than non-duplicate mode data units corresponding to single component channels. The method includes determining that a duplicate mode will be utilized for an OFDM transmission in the set of component channels and, in response, generating a duplicate mode data unit. The duplicate mode data unit has fewer lower-edge and/or upper-edge guard tones than a non-duplicate mode data unit corresponding to a set of component channels, and includes one duplicate of the non-duplicate mode data unit corresponding to the single component channel for each adjacent component channel.

    摘要: A first communication device transmits one or more first communication frames during a transmit opportunity period (TXOP) of the first communication device via a first composite channel. A control frame is generated, wherein the control frame includes information indicating a bandwidth of the first composite channel. After the one or more first communication frames have been transmitted, the first communication device transmits, during the TXOP, the control frame via the first composite channel. Information from a response frame that indicates a bandwidth of a second composite communication channel is extracted, the response frame having been transmitted by a second communication device and received by the first communication device during the TXOP. The first communication device transmits one or more second communication frames during the TXOP, wherein the one or more communication frames span the second composite communication channel and do not span the entire first composite communication channel.

    摘要: Training data for a first training session is generated to include a first data unit, the first data unit having a field that specifies a first number of beamforming training data units that can be communicated during a second training session to occur after the first training session. The training data including the first data unit is transmitted to a second device during the first training session. A second data unit received from the second device is processed to determine whether a request for the second device to participate in the second training session was accepted by the second device based on a first field of the second data unit. In response to determining that the request to participate in the second training session was accepted by the second device, the first number of beamforming training data units are transmitted during the second training session.
