摘要： An apparatus and method of signaling coding type is disclosed. The coding types include binary convolutional coding (BCC), legacy lifted Low-Density Parity Check (LDPC) code, and lifted LDPC code having a length that is a multiple of the maximum legacy LDPC code. The number of bits used to indicate the coding type in a User Info field depends on whether multiple lifted LDPC codes are available for encoding, whether the lifted LDPC code is an optional coding type, or a payload size. The frame containing the User Info field is transmitted to another STA and the response contains a payload encoded using the indicated coding type.

摘要： A physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) may include legacy preamble fields followed by a universal signal field (U-SIG). For an extended range (ER) transmission, the U-SIG is encoded to indicate via a bit whether the PPDU is an ER PPDU or a non-ER PPDU. When the U-SIG is encoded to indicate that the PPDU is an ER PPDU, the PPDU may include ER preamble fields following the U-SIG and an ER data field following the ER preamble fields. The ER preamble fields may comprise pre-ER modulated fields followed by ER modulated fields. The pre-ER modulate fields may comprise an ER short training field (ER-STF) followed by an ER long training field (ER-LTF) followed by an ER signal field (ER-SIG). The ER modulated fields may comprise at least the ER data field.

摘要： A station (STA) configured for operation in a wireless local area network (WLAN) may implement an unequal Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) for Probabilistic Constellation Shaping using first and second shaping encoders. The first shaping encoder may encode a first segment of input bits for a first modulation order and generate a first shaped bit stream and the second shaping encoder may encode a second segment of input bits for a second modulation order to generate a second shaped bit stream. A first QAM symbol stream may be generated at least from the first shaped bit stream and from parity bits using the first modulation order and a second QAM symbol stream may be generated at least from the second shaped bit stream and from parity bits using the second modulation order. The STA may generate the parity bits from the first and second shaped bit streams with one or more LDPC encoders and may transmit the first and second QAM symbol streams within a PPDU.

摘要： An access point station (AP) configured for ultra-high reliability (UHR) communication in a wireless local area network (WLAN) may receive low-latency (i.e., time-sensitive) traffic during a transmission opportunity (TXOP) by transmission of an initial frame encoded to indicate whether or not preemption for low-latency (LL) traffic is enabled during the TXOP. When preemption for LL traffic is enabled during the TXOP, the AP may encode downlink (DL) physical-layer protocol data units (PPDUs) for transmission within the TXOP. The DL PPDUs may be transmitted with an extended short interframe spacing (xIFS) therebetween. Each of the DL PPDUs may indicate whether the xIFS that follows a DL PPDU is enabled for preemption. When a signal comprising at least a legacy short-training field (L-STF) is detected within one of the xIFSs that is enabled for preemption, the AP may suspend a subsequent transmission of at least the next DL PPDU and may attempt to decode a frame that comprises the L-STF to determine if the frame is a preemption request frame. The AP may trigger a station (STA) to transmit LL traffic to the AP when the frame is determined to be a preemption request frame.

摘要： For example, a wireless communication Station (STA) may be configured to determine a data field processing setting for a data field of a Physical Layer (PHY) Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) such that a padding parameter value corresponding to the data field processing setting does not exceed a padding parameter threshold, wherein the data field processing setting includes at least one of a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) index or a channel Bandwidth (BW) setting, wherein the padding parameter value corresponding to the data field processing setting is based on a number of pre Forward Error Correction (FEC) (pre-FEC) pad bits according to the data field processing setting; and to encode the data field according to a FEC coding using the number of pre-FEC pad bits according to the data field processing setting.

摘要： For example, a wireless communication device may be configured to generate, transmit, receive and/or process one or more transmissions of an Extra Range (ER) Physical layer (PHY) Protocol Data Unit (PPDU), which may be configured to be decodable by ER wireless communication stations (STAs). For example, the ER PPDU may include an ER preamble. For example, the ER preamble may be configured to include an ER STF (ER-STF), an ER LTF (ER-LTF) after the ER-STF, and an ER Signal (ER-SIG) field after the ER-LTF. In one example, the ER PPDU may include a non-ER preamble, which may be configured to be decodable by non-ER STAs, which may not be capable of decoding the ER preamble.

摘要： An access-point station (AP) configured for communicating multi-user (MU) physical layer protocol data units (PPDUs) (MU-PPDUs) with plurality of non-AP stations (STAs) using dynamic channel switching may acquire a transmission opportunity (TXOP) on a channel comprising a primary channel and one or more non-primary channels. The AP may encode a channel switching indication frame that may request that at least some of the STAs temporarily switch from operating on the primary channel to operating on one of the non-primary channels. The AP may decode a response frame from each of the STAs that are indicated to switch. Each response frame may be received on the non-primary channel that an indicated STA is requested to switch to. For a downlink (DL) transmission, the AP may encode a DL MU-PPDU comprised of a plurality of PPDUs of different physical layer (PHY) types including at least a first PPDU for transmission on the primary channel to a first STA that had not been instructed to switch to a non-primary channel, and at least a second PPDU for transmission on one of the non-primary channels to a second STA that had been instructed to switch to one of the non-primary channels.

摘要： An apparatus and method of encoding Low-Density Parity Check (LDPC) Physical Layer Convergence Protocol (PLCP) packet protocol data units (PPDU) is disclosed. For LDPC codeword of lengths 3888 and/or 7776, the number and length of codewords to use may depend on the number of available bits. In this case, if the number of available bits is larger than 1944 and less than 2596, two codewords of length 1944 or a single codeword of length 3888 to encode the PPDU is used to encode the PPDU. For larger numbers of available bits, one or more codewords of length 3888 or 7776 is used to encode the PPDU. Shortening and/or puncturing, when used, is also based on the number of available bits.
