Abstract: According to various aspects, techniques to enable implicit and/or explicit transmit (Tx) beamforming in a wireless personal area network are provided. In particular, the implicit transmit beamforming may be enabled during certain events, frames, and/or other conditions when a channel between a beamformer and a beamformee is reciprocal (i.e., packets are received and transmitted on the same frequency). In such cases, the beamformer may estimate channel state information (CSI) based on a packet received from the beamformee and use the estimated CSI to steer a beam in a direction towards the beamformee. In use cases that implement explicit transmit beamforming, the beamformee may estimate the CSI based on a packet received from the beamformer and provide the estimated CSI to the beamformer, which may then use the estimated CSI received from the beamformee to steer a beam in a direction towards the beamformee.

Abstract: A wireless communication device for concurrent transmission is described. The wireless communication device includes a first transmitter that sends a first transmit packet on a first frequency. The wireless communication device also includes a second transmitter that sends a second transmit packet on a second frequency that overlaps in time with the first transmit packet. The wireless communication device further includes a processor that coordinates when the first and second transmit packets end such that a first receive packet does not overlap in time with a second receive packet or the second transmit packet. The wireless communication device additionally includes a demodulator that demodulates both the first receive packet in response to the first transmit packet and the second receive packet in response to the second transmit packet.

The method also includes determining at least one receive diversity setting based on the at least one packet type. The method further includes receiving at least one packet based on the at least one receive diversity setting.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for improving performance of short-range wireless network channel scans using receiver diversity. In an aspect, an electronic device having two or more short-range wireless network receiver antennas determines whether to utilize different receiver antennas of the two or more short-range wireless network receiver antennas to perform concurrently scheduled channel scans for different short-range wireless network radio access technologies (RATs) supported by the electronic device, or to perform an accelerated channel scan for a single short-range wireless network RAT of the different short-range wireless network RATs supported by the electronic device, and performs the concurrently scheduled channel scans or the accelerated channel scan based on the determination.

Abstract: Method, device, computer program product, and apparatus to detect an angle of arrival for a wireless signal are described. The wireless signal may be received at a non-linear antenna array and a plurality of candidate angles of arrival for the received signal may be determined. The resulting angle of arrival for the received wireless signal may be determined according to a weighted average of the plurality of candidate angles.

Abstract: A method performed by a wireless device includes receiving a first signal that contains one or more modulated symbols and determining a signal strength of the first signal. The method also includes adjusting a remembrance factor based on the signal strength of the first signal and demodulating the one or more modulated symbols based on the first signal and based on a number of previously demodulated symbols. The number of previously demodulated symbols utilized in the demodulation is based on the remembrance factor.
