Abstract: A wireless network includes a networking device and various stations. The networking device determines an available bandwidth of each station of the wireless network. Further, the networking device assigns a bandwidth and at least one spatial stream to each station. The bandwidth assigned to each station is less than or equal to the available bandwidth of the corresponding station. Further, the bandwidth assigned to one station is different from and partially overlaps with the bandwidth assigned to another station. Similarly, the spatial stream assigned to one station is different from the spatial stream assigned to another station. The networking device generates a data packet indicative of the bandwidth and the spatial stream assigned to each station of the wireless network, and transmits the data packet to each station to enable multi-user multiple-input-multiple-output (MU-MIMO) communication between the networking device and the stations.

Abstract: A wireless communication device includes first and second links. The first and second links respectively include first and second sets of antennae having an arrangement that renders a null space of a channel matrix between the first and second links non-zero. When the first and second links operate on a first frequency band, the first link obtains first channel state information that indicates a first channel measurement of a first set of channels observed from the second link to the first link. Based on the first channel state information, the first link determines a spatial mapping matrix that facilitates null steering of a signal transmission from the first link in a direction of the second link. The first link transmits to a remote device, a wireless signal on the first frequency band based on the spatial mapping matrix.

Abstract: Wi-Fi communication is further secured by perturbation of a spatial mapping matrix. In an embodiment channel state information is obtained from a receiving device in a wireless network through the wireless network. A first set of beam steering vectors is derived based on the channel state information to direct a radio signal to the receiving device. A second set of beam steering vectors is derived based on the channel state information to direct a radio signal other than to the receiving device. A perturbation matrix is generated. A spatial mapping matrix is formed by combining the first and the second set of beam steering vectors with a perturbation matrix. Data symbols to be transmitted are pre-coded to the receiving device using the spatial mapping matrix and transmitted through the wireless network to the receiving device.

Abstract: A beamformer generates a null data packet (NDP) that includes various long training fields (LTFs). The beamformer generates the NDP based on a spatial mapping matrix that is a product of two matrices. One matrix has a number of rows equal to a number of antennas of the beamformer, and a number of columns equal to a number of LTFs in the NDP. Further, the other matrix has a number of rows and a number of columns equal to the number of LTFs in the NDP. The number of LTFs in the NDP is greater than a number of antennas of the beamformer. Further, the beamformer transmits the NDP to a beamformee to obtain channel state information associated with a channel between the beamformer and the beamformee, and enable beamforming therebetween.

Abstract: A beamformee executes a singular value decomposition operation on a channel coefficient matrix to generate a diagonal matrix and a unitary matrix. The beamformee extracts a submatrix from each of the diagonal matrix and the unitary matrix. Each of a number of rows and a number of columns of the submatrix extracted from the diagonal matrix is equal to a number of spatial streams associated with a beamformer. Further, the submatrix extracted from the unitary matrix has a number of rows and a number of columns equal to a number of beamformer antennas of the beamformer and the number of spatial streams, respectively. The beamformee generates a subspace matrix that is a product of the submatrix extracted from the diagonal matrix and a conjugate transpose of the submatrix extracted from the unitary matrix. Further, the beamformee generates a steering matrix based on the subspace matrix.

Abstract: A method for controlling communication of information includes selecting a group of stations within range of an access point, transmitting a first signal from the access point to a first station in the group, and receiving at the access point a second signal from a second station in the group. The first signal is transmitted to the first station through a downlink channel. The second signal is received from the second station through an uplink channel. Transmission of the first signal takes place during a first period and reception of the second signal takes place during a second period overlapping the first period, in order to perform full-duplex different-frequency communications based on an 802.11 standard between the access point and the first station and the second station.
