摘要:
In a spatial division multiple access system that employs acknowledgements to variable length transmissions within a timeout period, a station that has completed its transmission may delay beginning the timeout period until it determines that other stations on the same channel have completed their transmissions.
摘要:
A base station may organize poll groups into groups having similar predicted durations of subsequent responses. In one embodiment predicted durations may be provided by the devices that are to be polled. In another embodiment the predicted durations may be based on past responses from the devices that are to be polled.
摘要:
Embodiments of a wireless access network and method for allocation time and frequency resources are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. In some embodiments, a base station allocates contiguous groups of data subcarriers of a downlink subframe to closed-loop user stations, and allocates the remaining data subcarriers of the downlink subframe to open-loop user stations to increase frequency diversity.

Embodiments of multiple input multiple output wireless communication systems, associated methods and data structures are generally described herein.
摘要:
In Spatial Division Multiple Access (SDMA) communications, mobile devices that are transmitting to a base station substantially simultaneously during a predetermined communications phase may wait until after an end of the predetermined communications phase to receive acknowledgments to their transmissions, so that a mobile device making a relatively short transmission does not experience an acknowledgment timeout while another mobile device is still completing a relatively long transmission. In some embodiments, the mobile devices may transmit a non-immediate block acknowledgment request during the communications phase.

Embodiments of the present invention provide for downlink resource allocation among a plurality of users. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
摘要:
In a base station using spatial division multiple access communications, different length transmissions directed from a base station to different multiple mobile devices substantially simultaneously may have their start times adjusted so that the transmissions end at approximately the same time. The mobile devices may then respond during a response period with acknowledgments at approximately the same time. Thus all the acknowledgments may be received within the same time period from the end of the transmissions, reducing the likelihood of missed acknowledgments in responses to the shorter transmissions.
摘要:
A network comprising a base station and multiple mobile devices may use a training phase for the base station to develop parameters that enable spatial division multiple access (SDMA) techniques to be used for communications with the mobile devices, and to subsequently use those parameters in a data phase, thus permitting substantially simultaneous transmissions to, and substantially simultaneous receptions from, the multiple mobile devices on the same frequency.
摘要:
Techniques are disclosed that involve communicating in bursty noise environments. For instance, a source device may send a probing packet to a destination device. This probing packet is for determining whether the communications medium (e.g., one or more frequency channels) is currently exhibiting a busy or jammed (e.g., due to bursty noise) condition. More particularly, based on whether an acknowledgment of the probing packet is received, the source device determines whether the channel is jammed (or busy) or clear. For example, an unacknowledged probing packet indicates that the channel is jammed or busy, while an acknowledged probing packet indicates that the channel is clear. If the channel is determined to be clear, then the source device may transmit one or more data packets to the destination device. Such data packet transmissions may be in accordance with a non rate-adaptive technique.
