    Abstract: A receiver is configured for receiving a signal including a training field and a payload over a communication channel. The receiver includes a channel estimator, a scaling factor calculator, a metric calculator and a decoder. The channel estimator is configured to estimate values of a parameter of the communication channel based on the training field of the received signal. The scaling factor calculator is configured to calculate a scaling factor based on the values of the parameter of the communication channel. The metric calculator is configured to calculate soft decoding metrics for use in decoding data carried by the payload of the received signal, including scaling the soft decoding metrics by the scaling factor. The decoder is configured to decode the data carried by the payload of the received signal using the scaled soft decoding metrics.

    Abstract: A method for transmitting a first physical layer (PHY) protocol data unit (PPDU) in a wireless local area network (WLAN) communication channel is described. One or more sectors of a service coverage area of a first communication device that are busy with a first transmission over the WLAN communication channel are identified. A second communication device is selected, using the identification of the one or more busy sectors, to receive the first PPDU during a second, directional transmission that at least partially temporally overlaps a duration of the first transmission. The first PPDU is generated for transmission to the second communication device. The first PPDU is transmitted to the second communication device as the second, directional transmission during the first transmission.

    Abstract: A method for communication includes respectively associating each of a plurality of client stations (STAs) with at least one basic service set (BSS) of at least one access point (AP) in a WLAN. The APs in the WLAN are synchronized prior to transmitting data to the STAs. First and second groups of the antennas are defined for downlink communication with the first and second STAs, each of the groups including antennas belonging to at least two of the APs. Different, first and second distributed beamforming parameters are computed over the first and second groups of the antennas. Respective data for transmission to the first and second STAs are distributed to the APs to which the antennas in the respective first and second groups belong and are transmitted in synchronization in accordance with the first and second distributed beamforming parameters.

    Abstract: A WLAN AP includes an array of antennas, a transceiver and a processor. The transceiver is configured to transmit via the array of antennas downlink packets to WLAN STAs, and to receive uplink packets from the STAs. The processor is coupled to the transceiver and is configured to send a request to a plurality of the STAs to transmit a respective plurality of channel-sounding packets corresponding to the plurality of STAs, to receive the plurality of channel-sounding packets from the plurality of STAs in response to the request, to compute, based on the received plurality of channel-sounding packets, a beamforming matrix that defines subsequent transmission beams aimed toward at least a subset of the plurality of STAs, and to transmit one or more downlink data packets to one or more of the STAs via the array of antennas, in accordance with the beamforming matrix.
