Abstract:
Techniques to communicate MAP information elements in a wireless network are described. An apparatus may comprise a device to establish a communication channel over a common wireless communication link, the device to communicate an encapsulating MAP information element to encapsulate one or more MAP information elements. The encapsulating MAP information element may indicate that the one or more encapsulated MAP information elements apply to multiple communication frames. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
Millimeter wave (mmWave) technology, apparatuses, and methods that relate to transceivers, receivers, and antenna structures for wireless communications are described. The various aspects include co-located millimeter wave (mmWave) and near-field communication (NFC) antennas, scalable phased array radio transceiver architecture (SPARTA), phased array distributed communication system with MIMO support and phase noise synchronization over a single coax cable, communicating RF signals over cable (RFoC) in a distributed phased array communication system, clock noise leakage reduction, IF-to-RF companion chip for backwards and forwards compatibility and modularity, on-package matching networks, 5G scalable receiver (Rx) architecture, among others.
Abstract:
Two separate radio frequency networks may be operated within interference distance from one another in a way which mitigates the possibility of interference. Using received signal strength indicator data, the nature of the interference may be determined without actually demodulating the interfering signal. The timing of the interfering signal and its characteristic features may be determined. Using that information, together with the probability that any given slot will actually be occupied by an interfering transmission, a statistics package may be developed which gives an indication of the probability of a transmission from the interferer at any given time. That package may be transmitted to other nodes in the same network. When a first node wishes to transmit information to a second node, the first node may analyze the statistics package received from the second node. The first node may thereby make a determination about when to actually initiate the transmission to the second node.

Abstract:
In a wireless network in which the base station has full duplex capability (can transmit on the downlink channel and simultaneously receive on the uplink channel), but the mobile stations have only half duplex capability (each can transmit on the uplink channel and receive on the downlink channel, but not simultaneously), the base station may transmit duplicate copies of multicast data in two or more frames. Some of the addressed mobile stations may be scheduled to receive the first frame and transmit during the second frame, while the other addressed mobile stations may be scheduled to transmit during the first frame and receive the second frame.
Abstract:
An embodiment of the present invention provides a method, comprising retransmitting Automatic Repeat request (ARQ) blocks from a subscriber station (SS) to a base station (BS) without waiting for a timer to expire or depending on an explicit NACK from the BS. An embodiment of the present invention may further comprise accomplishing the retransmission of ARQ blocks by performing ARQ acknowledgement state updates at the SS and BS that affect the other side at PHY frame boundary, keeping block transmission relationship to a PHY frame number at the SS, and positively deducing the outcome of a transmission at the sender by exploiting the temporal relationship between blocks transmitted in the same PHY frame.
Abstract:
Embodiments of wireless device and method for communicating in a wireless network are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. In some embodiments, a wireless device establishes a link using a directional antenna in an initially selected direction with another wireless device. If the link in the initially selected direction deteriorates, the link may be reestablished in a previously identified alternate direction. In some embodiments, the initially selected direction and the alternate direction are jointly selected by both the first and second wireless devices.
Abstract:
Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, an access point may preemptively broadcast an alternate channel to switch to, along with an indication of the beacon timing for the alternate channel, prior to any catastrophic interference. The access point may switch to the alternate channel in the event of interference on the original channel without attempting to broadcast the alternate channel during the interference event. A mobile user may then know in advance of the interference event which alternate channel the access point switched to and may switch to the alternate channel.
Abstract:
Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a client node transmits a wakeup notification message to a supporter node when the client node is in a higher power awake mode. The supporter node may transmit data, if any, to the client mode until there is no more data to be transmitted to the client node. The supporter node then transmits a done transmitting packet to the client mode when the buffer memory is empty to indicate there is no more data to be transmitted. Upon receiving a done transmitting packet, the client node may enter into a lower power sleep mode until a subsequent awake event. The wakeup notification message may be transmitted by the client node at a time or interval selected to provide a power savings to the client node.
Abstract:
A wireless local area network (WLAN) device transmits a header over an air interface, at a first modulation rate. The header may include an indication of a second modulation rate that will be used to transmit a consolidated payload. In one embodiment, the header includes information that enables a receiver to determine when an end of each of the multiple data units will occur. The device further transmits the consolidated payload at the second modulation rate. The consolidated payload includes multiple data units. In one embodiment, the consolidated payload includes information that enables the receiver to determine when an end of each of the multiple data units will occur.
