Publication number: 20250148233Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for ambient power energizer control. Some aspects more specifically relate to utilizing silent periods during which an energy providing device does not transmit radio frequency (RF) energizing waveform to avoid interference. In some implementations, a reader may transmit a message to an energizer, indicating the time period during which the energizer is to refrain from transmitting the energizing waveform. The reader also may transmit a similar message to one or more tags indicating when the tags should harvest energy and monitor for wakeup signaling. A master device may send coordination information to multiple readers such that each reader and each energizer coordinates silent periods. An energizer may combine multiple patterns of silent time periods to ensure that silent time periods for different readers are aligned. The reader may dynamically trigger energizer waveform transmission.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2023Publication date: May 8, 2025Inventors: Stephen Jay SHELLHAMMER, Bin TIAN, George CHERIAN, Alfred ASTERJADHI, Pooria PAKROOH

Publication number: 20250141641Abstract: 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 short training field (STF) designs and signaling that support distributed transmissions. A transmitting device that transmits data on a distributed resource unit (dRU) may transmit an STF sequence over a spreading bandwidth of the dRU according to an existing STF tone plan. Each STA allocated a dRU for transmission in a trigger-based (TB) physical layer convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) maps its STF sequence to one or more spatial streams and may apply one or more global cyclic shift delays (CSDs) to the STF sequence mapped to the one or more spatial streams, respectively. As such, different global CSDs may be assigned to different STAs so that each STA transmits its STF sequence with different amounts of delay.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 3, 2025Publication date: May 1, 2025Inventors: Lin YANG, Bin TIAN, Youhan KIM, Qifan CHEN

Patent number: 12289260Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for wireless communication, and particularly, methods, devices and systems for physical (PHY) layer control signaling. A first physical layer convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) may precede a second PPDU. The first PPDU may be referred to as a PHY control PPDU and may include a physical layer control signaling field (CNT-SIG) that informs one or more stations (STAs) regarding a physical layer configuration they should use for the second PPDU.

Patent number: 12284067Abstract: Various aspects relate generally to the generation and wireless transmission of a long training field (LTF) and a data field within a 320 MHz or 240 MHz bandwidth channel. The LTF includes an LTF sequence based on a concatenation of a plurality of LTF subsequences, each LTF subsequence being associated with a channel bandwidth less than the total bandwidth of the channel, each of the plurality of LTF subsequences being selectively phase-rotated to reduce a peak-to-average power ratio. Each of the plurality of LTF subsequences may be associated with an LTF designed for an 80 MHz bandwidth channel.

Publication number: 20250125934Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for reducing out-of-band emission (OOBE) for transmissions associated with a distributed resource unit (RU) (dRU) allocation. Some aspects more specifically relate to introducing more unevenness in terms of tone spacing to a first subset of dRUs associated with a given bandwidth and maintaining relatively more even tone spacing for a second subset of dRUs associated with that given bandwidth. In some implementations, for example, a complete set of dRUs associated with a bandwidth may include a first subset of dRUs and a second subset of dRUs, with dRUs of the first subset having more uneven tone spacings as compared to dRUs of the second subset. In some aspects, the first subset of dRUs may include dRUs associated with relatively fewer tones as compared to dRUs of the second subset.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2024Publication date: April 17, 2025Inventors: Lin YANG, Bin TIAN, Youhan KIM, Qifan CHEN, Chih-Yuan CHU

Publication number: 20250125919Abstract: 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 pilot tone designs that support distributed transmission. A transmitting device may modulate a physical layer convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) on a number (M) of tones representing a logical RU associated with the legacy tone plan and may further map the M tones to M noncontiguous subcarrier indices associated with a wireless channel. The transmitting device may transmit the PPDU, over the wireless channel, with a number (N) of pilot tones each having a respective location relative to the M tones as mapped to the M noncontiguous subcarrier indices. In some implementations, the relative locations of the N pilot tones may be different than relative locations of a number (K) of pilot tones associated with the logical RU.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2024Publication date: April 17, 2025Inventors: Lin YANG, Bin TIAN, Youhan KIM, Qifan CHEN

Publication number: 20250126658Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for service period based coordinated spatial reuse. Some aspects relate to long term signaling to reduce the amount of signaling while achieving the gain associated with coordinated spatial reuse as compared to distributed spatial reuse. A first wireless device associated with a first basic service set (BSS) may transmit a beacon indicating a set of service periods designated for spatial reuse and an interference threshold. A second wireless device associated with a second BSS may receive the beacon and may communicate with one or more other wireless devices associated with the second BSS during the set of service periods designated for spatial reuse in accordance with the indicated interference threshold. Accordingly, the wireless devices in the second BSS may communicate at a power level that causes an acceptable level of interference at the first BSS.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2024Publication date: April 17, 2025Inventors: George CHERIAN, Sameer VERMANI, Alfred ASTERJADHI, Abhishek Pramod PATIL, Gaurang NAIK, Sai Yiu Duncan HO, Bin TIAN, Ahmed Ragab ELSHERIF

Publication number: 20250097996Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for priority access on a shared wireless channel.

Publication number: 20250088398Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for increasing carrier frequencies for wireless communications in wireless local area networks (WLANs). Some implementations more specifically relate to packet designs and numerologies that support wireless communications on carrier frequencies above 7 GHz. In some aspects, a wireless communication device may up-clock a physical layer (PHY) convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) for transmission on carrier frequencies above 7 GHz, where the PPDU conforms to an existing PPDU format associated with carrier frequencies below 7 GHz. As used herein, the term “up-clocking” refers to increasing the frequency of a clock signal used to convert the PPDU between the frequency domain and the time domain. In some aspects, the up-clocking may result in a subcarrier spacing (SCS) greater than or equal to 1.2 MHz, where the SCS represents a spacing between the subcarriers on which a PHY preamble of the PPDU is modulated.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2024Publication date: March 13, 2025Inventors: Lin YANG, Bin TIAN, Youhan KIM, Jialing Li CHEN
