Publication number: 20190132743Abstract: In some aspects, the disclosure is directed to methods and systems for utilizing protocols to enable two 802.11 devices to exchange their dynamically-changing local channel availability table and form a mutual channel availability table with time, frequency, and transmission rate domains available. This table may be used to make optimum opportunistic use of link resources by adapting packet duration, frequency utilization and transmission rate to channel conditions.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2018Publication date: May 2, 2019Applicant: Avago Technologies General IP (Singapore) Pte.

Publication number: 20190116062Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for providing device(s) with additional processing time to process a packet received wirelessly while still meeting the legacy SIFS time constraint. The additional processing time may be achieved by adding, by a device transmitting the packet, padding and/or a packet extension to the last symbol of the packet. The additional processing time provided to the device(s) advantageously reduces the amount of extra hardware that would normally be added to meet the SIFS time constraint. The amount of padding and/or packet extension to be added to the last symbol is balanced to minimize the complexity of the device(s) against the reduction in system efficiency incurred by the device(s).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2018Publication date: April 18, 2019Inventors: Andrew BLANKSBY, Matthias KORB, Ron PORAT, Dignus-Jan MOELKER

Patent number: 10263678Abstract: A wireless communication device (alternatively, device) includes a processor configured to support communications with other wireless communication device(s) and to generate and process signals for such communications. In some examples, the device includes a communication interface and a processor, among other possible circuitries, components, elements, etc. to support communications with other wireless communication device(s) and to generate and process signals for such communications. The device is configured to generate OFDM/A packets having certain characteristics based on different packet formats. For example, a first OFDM/A packet has first characteristic(s) based on a first packet format, a second OFDM/A packet has second characteristic(s) based on a second packet format, and so on. A receiver device is configured to process such OFDM/A packets to determine characteristic(s) thereof to determine, identify, classify, etc.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2017Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: AVAGO TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL SALES PTE.

Publication number: 20190097768Abstract: A communication device includes a processor configured to generate OFDMA packets using various OFDMA packet structures and to transmit such OFDMA packets, via a communication interface, to at least one other communication device. The processor is also configured to receive, interpret, and process such OFDMA packets. One example of an OFDMA packet includes common SIG for two or more other wireless communication devices modulated across all sub-carriers of the OFDMA packet. The common SIG is followed by first SIG and first data for a first other wireless communication device modulated across first subset of the sub-carriers of the OFDMA packet and is also followed by second SIG and second data for a second other wireless communication device modulated across second subset of the sub-carriers of the OFDMA packet. Another example of an OFDMA packet includes the common SIG followed directly by first data and second data modulated as described above.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2018Publication date: March 28, 2019Applicant: Avago Technologies International Sales Pte.

Patent number: 10244414Abstract: A wireless communication device (alternatively, device, WDEV, etc.) includes a processing circuitry configured to support communications with other WDEV(s) and to generate and process signals for such communications. In some examples, the device includes a communication interface and a processing circuitry, among other possible circuitries, components, elements, etc. to support communications with other WDEV(s) and to generate and process signals for such communications. A WDEV generates and transmits a first signal that includes a field that specifies an acceptable interference level (AIL) for concurrent communication for use by a first other WDEV to determine whether a transmission from the first other WDEV to a second other WDEV acceptably or unacceptably interferes with another transmission from the WDEV. Concurrent communication (e.g., from the WDEV to a third other WDEV, and from the first other WDEV to the second other WDEV) may be made when the AIL compares favorably with the AIL.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2016Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: AVAGO TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL SALES PTE.
