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： Embodiments of an access point (AP), station (STA) and method of communication are generally described herein. An AP may be configurable to operate as a master AP of a multi-AP group comprising the master AP and one or more satellite APs. The master AP may select, from the multi-AP group, a set of APs that is to communicate with a STA in accordance with joint processing. The master AP may allocate one or more spatial streams to each of the APs of the set of APs for a joint transmission of a null data packet (NDP) to the STA for channel sounding. The master AP may transmit an NDP announcement (NDPA) that indicates that the APs of the set of APs are to perform the joint transmission of the NDP.

摘要： Methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media include an apparatus of an access point (AP) or station (STA) comprising processing circuitry configured to decode a legacy preamble of a physical layer (PHY) protocol data unit (PPDU), determine whether the legacy preamble comprises an indication that the PPDU is an extremely-high throughput (EHT) PPDU, and in response to the determination indicating the PPDU is the EHT PPDU, decode the EHT PPDU. Some embodiments determine a spatial stream resource allocation based on a row of a spatial configuration table, a row of a frequency resource unit table, a number of stations, and location of the station relative to the number of stations in user fields of an EHT-signal (SIG) field. To accommodate 16 spatial streams, some embodiments extend the length of the packet extension field, extend signaling of a number of spatial streams, and/or extend a number of EHT-SIG symbols.

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.
