摘要： In a method for beamforming in a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) communication system, a data unit is received from a communication device via a MIMO communication channel, and it is determined whether the data unit satisfies one or more selection criteria. Further, when it is determined that the data unit satisfies the one or more selection criteria, the data unit is selected to be used in developing a steering matrix for transmitting data units to the communication device.

摘要： In a method for generating a data unit conforming to a first communication protocol, a first field and a second field to be included in a preamble of the data unit are generated. The first field includes a first set of one or more information bits that indicate a duration of the data unit and is formatted such that the first field allows a receiver device that conforms to a second communication protocol to determine the duration of the data unit. The second field includes a second set of one or more information bits that indicate to a receiver device that conforms to the first communication protocol that the data unit conforms to the first communication protocol. The first field and the second field are modulated using a modulation scheme specified for a field corresponding to the first field and the second field, respectively, by the second communication protocol.

摘要： In a method for generating a data unit for transmission via a communication channel, wherein the data unit conforms to a first communication protocol, a preamble of the data unit is generated. The preamble includes a first field having information that indicates a duration of the data unit, the first field being formatted such that the first field is decodable by a receiver device that conforms to a second communication protocol but does not conform to the first communication protocol to determine the duration of the data unit based on the first field. Additionally, the preamble is formatted such that a portion of the preamble is decodable by a receiver device that conforms to a third communication protocol but does not conform to the first communication protocol. Also, the preamble is formatted such that a receiver device that conforms to the first communication protocol can determine that the data unit conforms to the first communication protocol. A data portion of the data unit that conforms to the first communication protocol and does not conform to either (i) the second communication protocol or (ii) the third communication protocol is generated.

摘要： Systems and techniques relating to wireless local area network devices include a method involving generating a baseband signal indicative of one or more symbols, modulating the baseband signal at a carrier frequency to produce a modulated signal, transmitting the modulated signal via a wireless channel, and providing a clock signal to control, in the baseband signal, a duration of the one or more symbols. Providing the clock signal can include selectively using a first clock frequency to generate a first baseband signal having a first bandwidth. Providing the clock signal can include selectively using a second, lower clock frequency to generate a second baseband signal having a second, lower bandwidth. The second clock frequency can be used to extend a wireless communication range of the wireless channel.
