  • Patent number: 11646854
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for increasing the transmit power of wireless communication devices operating on power spectral density (PSD)-limited wireless channels. Some implementations more specifically relate to trigger frame and physical layer convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) designs that support distributed transmission. In some implementations, an access point (AP) may transmit a trigger frame soliciting a trigger-based (TB) PPDU from a wireless station (STA), where the trigger frame carries RU allocation information indicating a number (N) of tones allocated for the STA and carries tone distribution information indicating whether the N tones are allocated for a contiguous transmission or a distributed transmission. In some other implementations, an AP or a STA may transmit a PPDU carrying distributed signaling information indicating whether the PPDU is transmitted as a contiguous transmission or a distributed transmission.

  • Patent number: 11638117
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes how a master beacon having a known UUID can be used to capture beacons within its range and superimpose a systematic address scheme on those beacons. The superimposed address scheme can then be used as a proxy for the individual beacons when developing applications that make use of the beacons. A master beacon automatically detects each beacon in a plurality of beacons and, for a set of beacons in the plurality of beacons, automatically changes either the first profile identifier or the second profile identifier for each beacon in the set of beacons. The change is such that the first profile identifier or the second profile identifier is identical for each beacon in the set of beacons and is also associated with the master beacon.
