    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for delaying packet transmissions over a wireless communication channel until a more favorable channel condition is detected. A device may measure a channel metric when it receives periodic beacon signals. The device may compare the channel metric against a programmed metric threshold. If the channel metric is less than the metric threshold, the device may delay the transmission of a packet until a later transmission window or transmit opportunity (TXOP) when the channel metric rises above the metric threshold, indicating the presence of a more favorable condition for transmission, or until a preconfigured timeout period elapses before the more favorable condition is found.

    Abstract: Techniques for guided placement of a wireless device are described herein. In an example embodiment, a wi-fi wireless device comprises a radio frequency (RF) transceiver coupled to a baseband processor. The RF transceiver is configured to receive an RF signal transmitted over a wireless channel and to convert the RF signal to a modulated digital signal. The baseband processor is configured to receive the modulated digital signal from the RF transceiver, extract a wireless packet from the modulated digital signal, and compute an Exponential Effective SNR Mapping (EESM) value based on the preamble of the wireless packet, where the computed EESM value indicates the quality of the wireless channel at the current location of the wireless device. The baseband processor is further configured to provide a quality indicator based on the EESM value for the current location of the wireless device.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices select antennas to enhance the range and throughput of wireless communications devices. Methods include identifying a plurality of combinations of antennas based on a plurality of available antennas for a wireless communications device, and generating, using a processing device included in a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) device, a plurality of quality metrics including at least one quality metric for each of the identified combinations of antennas, where each of the at least one quality metrics represents a signal quality of a signal associated with each of the plurality of antennas, and wherein the signal is a spatial stream. Methods further include selecting at least two antennas from the plurality of combinations of antennas based, at least in part, on the plurality of quality metrics, where the at least two antennas are selected for use by the wireless communications device during a transmitting or receiving operation.
