Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques that may help address the effects of larger delay spreads in WiFi bands. Methods and apparatus are provided that perform wireless communications utilizing varying cyclic prefix lengths, varying repetition intervals, and varying symbol durations to ameliorate the effects of large delay spreads.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine, based at least in part on one or more parameters, an extended reality (XR) compute location for XR data associated with an XR device that is associated with the UE, wherein the XR compute location corresponds to the UE, the XR device, or an application server associated with the XR data. The UE may selectively transmit an indication of the XR compute location to a network node. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for communicating time synchronized data between a client and a server. An example method generally includes synchronizing, by a client, a clock of the client with a clock source. The method also includes transmitting, from the client to a server, at an application level, information indicating the clock source, a cell identifier of a serving cell of the client, and accuracy of the clock source as a time value. The method further includes transmitting, from the client to the server, a message including data and a timestamp correlated to an event associated with the data based on the clock. The method also includes in response to the message, receiving, by the client from the server, generated data.
Abstract:
An explicit indication is provided regarding whether information was subjected to interference during transmission. For example, a receiver can monitor received packets and determine whether any of data units in a given received packet were subjected to interference during transmission. If so, the receiver can send an indication to the transmitter to inform the transmitter of the interference. This indication enables the transmitter to distinguish between packet loss that occurred as a result of channel fade and packet loss that occurred as a result of interference. Consequently, the transmitter is able to invoke different actions depending on whether the packet loss is due to channel fade or interference.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to wireless communications, and more specifically to systems, methods, and devices for staggered primary channel selection for WiFi. According to certain aspects, a method for wireless communications is provided. The method may be performed, for example, by an access point (AP). The method generally includes obtaining information regarding neighbor basic service sets (BSSs), selecting a primary channel based on the obtained information, and output for transmission a message signaling an intention to communicate using the selected primary channel.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for extending range and delay spread in 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, and potentially frequency multiplexing users. An apparatus is provided for wireless communications. The apparatus generally includes a processing system configured to generate a packet comprising a first preamble decodable by a first type of device and a second type of device, a second preamble that is decodable by the second type of device, but not the first type of device, and data and a transmitter configured to transmit the packet, wherein the first preamble is transmitted using a first channel bandwidth and the second preamble and data are transmitted using only a portion of the first channel bandwidth.
Abstract:
An acknowledgment (ACK) frame has two parts: a group ACK part and a scheduling information part. In the group ACK part, an ACK/NACK indicator is included for a previous uplink (UL) transmission per station (STA). In the scheduling information part, information included for the following UL transmission per selected STA may comprise, for example, one or more of: a number of selected STAs, a media access control (MAC) address of each selected STA, a data transmission duration per selected STA, a transmission rate per selected STA, a request transmission duration, a pilot transmission order, or a STA transmission order.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for constructing a VHT-SIG field of a transmission preamble in a manner that may reduce peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmission.
