    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments facilitate wireless channel calibration, ranging, and direction finding, between networked devices. A method on a first station (STA) may comprise: broadcasting, at a first time, a first NDPA frame to a plurality of second STAs. The first NDPA frame may include a first bit indicating that one or more subsequent frames comprise ranging or angular information. After a Short Interval Frame Space (SIFS) time interval from the first time, a second frame may be broadcast. The second frame may be a Null Data Packet (NDP) frame. In response, a plurality of Compressed Beamforming (CBF) frames may be received at the first STA where each CBF frame may be received from a distinct corresponding second STA, and may include Channel Feedback Information field with information pertaining to communication channel between the first STA and the corresponding second STA. The communications may be encoded using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for obtaining and providing channel feedback. In some implementations, a beamformee provides channel feedback to a beamformer that enables the beamformer to construct and independently precode two or more different sets of spatial streams for transmission to the beamformee. The independent precoding of the different sets of spatial streams ensures that the decodings of the different sets of spatial streams may be decoupled from one another at the beamformee. To provide the channel feedback, the beamformee partitions a channel estimate into two or more sub-estimates prior to performing a channel decomposition. In some implementations, the beamformee determines null-space-based projections of the sub-estimates before performing the channel decomposition. The determination of the null-space-based projections enables the beamformee to perform independent decompositions of the multiple channel sub-estimates to determine multiple respective feedback matrices, which are then assembled to provide the channel feedback to the beamformer. The channel feedback is then reconstructed and disassembled by the beamformer to perform the independent precoding of the different sets of spatial streams.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for performing ranging operations between wireless devices. In some implementations, wireless devices can exchange ranging packets that include packet extensions containing a plurality of long training fields (LTFs). The wireless devices can use the LTFs in the ranging packets to obtain a plurality of round-trip time (RTT) values based on a single exchange of ranging packets. The wireless devices also can use the LTFs to estimate angle of arrival (AoA) and angle of departure (AoD) information of the exchanged ranging packets.
