Abstract: Various schemes pertaining to distributed-tone resource unit (RU) operation in 6 GHz low-power indoor (LPI) systems are described. A communication entity distributes frequency tones of a resource unit (RU) over a distribution bandwidth as a distributed-tone RU (dRU).

Alternatively, the dRU operation is implemented per frequency segment. Alternatively, the dRU co-exists with regular or localized RU.

Abstract: A wireless power transmitter may receive a request from a wireless power receiver to perform recalibration for a first type of foreign object detection (FOD) in response to the wireless power receiver attempting to change an electromagnetic parameter supplied by the wireless power transmitter. In response to receiving the request, the wireless power transmitter may perform a second type of FOD to produce a FOD result.

When the FOD result indicates a foreign object is not present or likely not present, the wireless power transmitter may communicate the FOD result to the wireless power receiver, perform the recalibration and continue with wireless power transfer.

The periodic or semi-persistent PUCCH or SRS transmissions across the SBFD slots use the first frequency domain starting position. The periodic or semi-persistent PUCCH or SRS transmissions across the non-SBFD slots use the second frequency domain starting position.
