Abstract: System and method of cooperative multi-band wireless STA communication that enables full duplex operations are disclosed herein. Frames are configured to carry band information and are selected to be transmitted simultaneously in multiple bands based on various constraints to avoid out-of-order delivery. For frames under a block ACK agreement, a transmit STA can specify the transmission bands for the frames in an ADDBA request frame. While a first band is transmitting a first frame under a block ACK agreement, the second band can be used to transmit a frame under the same block ACK agreement as, and from the same traffic flow with, the first frame. Otherwise, the second band can be used to transmit a frame with a different TID than the first frame.

Abstract: Various solutions pertaining to reporting of best wideband (WB) channel quality indicator (CQI) in mobile communications are described. An apparatus implemented in a user equipment (UE) calculates a value of a modified wideband channel quality indicator (WB-CQI) with respect to a wideband based on CQI values of a subset of subbands of a plurality of subbands in the wideband.

In calculating the value of the WB-CQI, the apparatus excludes one or more subbands from the plurality of subbands to result in the subset of subbands used in calculating the value of the WB-CQI. A respective CQI value of each of the excluded one or more subbands is lower than a respective CQI value of each of the subset of subbands.

Abstract: Described herein are systems for vector modulated beamforming that may be implemented in a space-efficient manner and with high channel isolation. In some embodiments, systems described herein may perform I/Q vector modulation downstream of receive signal summation and/or upstream of transmit signal division. Implementing I/Q modulation on a transmit signal prior to dividing the transmit signal among multiple transmit channels, and/or on a receive signal after multiple receive channels have been summed to form the receive signal, may use fewer I/Q modulators than channels, such as a single I/Q modulator. Having fewer I/Q modulators than channels results in a space-efficient beamforming architecture having low channel crosstalk and/or permits use of a simple I/Q modulator calibration procedure.
