Abstract:
A wireless access point (AP) requests a response from a group of wireless station (STAs) and a STA within the group of STAs provides a response to the request in a resource block (RB). The AP may encode, for transmission, a null data packet (NDP) feedback report poll variant trigger frame including a request and specifying a range of association identifiers (AIDs) associated with STAs scheduled to respond. The STA may decode the trigger frame and determine whether the AID of the STA is within the range of AIDs associated with STAs scheduled to respond to the request. When within the range of scheduled AIDs, the STA may encode an NDP feedback in an RB represented by a resource unit (RU) together with a spatial stream (SS). The AP may receive the NDP feedback report response from the STA and determine the response to the request.

Computing readable media, apparatuses, and methods for random access with carrier sensing are disclosed. An apparatus is disclosed including processing circuitry configured to: decode a trigger frame, the trigger frame to indicate resource units (RUs) for random access and to indicate if a carrier sense (CS) is to be performed. The processing circuitry may be further configured to: decrement a value of an orthogonal frequency division multiple-access (OFDMA) backoff (OBO) field based on a number of the RUs indicated for random access. The processing circuitry may be further configured to: when the value of the OBO field reaches a predetermined value, randomly select one of the RUs indicated for random access, and if the CS is to be performed, determine a virtual CS based on one or more network allocation vectors (NAVs) and perform a physical CS on the selected RU, and if the virtual CS and the physical CS both indicate that the selected RU is idle, configure the wireless device to transmit a physical (PHY) layer convergence procedure (PLCP) protocol data units (PPDU) on the selected RU in accordance with OFDMA.

Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of simultaneous wireless transmissions. For example, an apparatus may include a first wireless communication device to receive an interference margin of a first transmission, the first transmission being from a second wireless communication device to a third wireless communication device, and, based on the interference margin, to transmit a second transmission at least partially overlapping the first transmission.
Abstract:
A wireless device and a wake-up receiver for a corresponding station are configured to negotiate one or more parameters of a wake-up packet. The parameters include offset, wherein a reference point plus the offset indicates a starting time of a wake-up receiver ON window, duration, wherein the duration specifies a time duration of each wake up receiver ON window, and period, wherein the period specifies a time between consecutive starting times of the wake-up receiver ON window and is longer than the duration. The wireless device then encodes the wake-up packet in a wake-up receiver (WUR) management frame to have the offset, duration and period established in accordance with the negotiation, in an element of the WUR management frame comprising a WUR Mode element, a WUR Capability element, or a WUR Operation element. The wireless device transmits the WUR management frame to the one or more stations. The stations may thus decide their power consumption value based on latency and power constraints with minimal complexity.

Abstract:
Embodiments of a station (STA), an access point (AP) and methods of communication are generally described herein. The AP may select a back-off counter value to be used for contention-based access to a channel in unlicensed spectrum. The AP may monitor the channel to determine whether the channel is idle during a back-off period. A duration of the back-off period may be based on the back-off counter value. The AP may, if it is determined that the channel is idle during the back-οff period, transmit a co-existence reference signal (CRS) during a slot of an active collision resolution (ACR) period to indicate: that the AP determined that the channel was idle during the back-off period, and an intention of the AP to obtain exclusive access to the channel during a data transmission (DT) period after the ACR period.

Abstract:
A wireless device, acting as an AP or GO, collects information comprising transmission opportunity (TxOP) status and interference threshold from stations communicating with the AP/GO. When the collected information is changed from previous collected information, the AP/GO broadcasts the collected information in a broadcast frame (e.g., beacon frame) to stations communicating with the wireless device. The beacon frame may include interference thresholds for each side of a link. The stations may then adjust their transmit power to remain within their associated interference threshold.

In response to determining the AID of the wireless device is within the first plurality of AIDs, the processing circuitry can activate a power save mode for a remainder of the service period.
Abstract:
Embodiments of fast steering timing and resource allocation are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a non-access point station (STA) decodes a fast steering timing signaling element (STSE) at a Narrow Band Control sub-Channel (NB-C-CH) and from an allocator device, the STSE indicating at least fast steering timing information, an identified Narrow Band Service sub-Channel (NB-S-CH), resource allocation information for the identified NB-S-CH, and connectivity information for the identified NB-S-CH, the identified NB-S-CH being selected from a plurality of NB-S-CHs. The STA exchanges packets in the NB-S-CH according to the resource allocation information and the connectivity information and based on the fast steering timing information. The STA encodes or decodes data associated with the exchanged packets.
