Patent number: 9271182Abstract: A method includes selecting a frame format for use in transmission of a packet via a wireless network. The transmission is associated with a particular bandwidth. The selected frame format is a first frame format if the particular bandwidth is equal to a threshold bandwidth. The selected frame format is the first frame format or a second frame format if the particular bandwidth is greater than the threshold bandwidth. The second frame format includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion includes a short training field (STF), a long training field, and a signal A field, and the second portion includes a data portion including a second STF, one or more signal B fields, and a data field. The method further includes generating the packet in accordance with the selected frame format and one or more timing parameters and sending the packet.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2015Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Eugene J.

Patent number: 9048936Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for communicating in a wireless network are described herein. In an aspect, a method of transmitting a data unit includes generating a data unit. The data unit includes one or more short training field (STF) sequences. The method further includes encoding each of the STF sequences with a pseudo-random spreading code. The code is based on an addressee of the data unit. The method further includes transmitting, at a transmitter, the data unit over a wireless channel. In another aspect, a method of processing a data unit includes receiving, at a receiver, a data unit. The data unit includes one or more STF sequences. The method further includes determining whether the data unit comprises one or more differentially encoded symbols. The method further includes receiving one or more long training field (LTF) sequences when the data unit does not comprise one or more differentially encoded symbols.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2012Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Sameer Vermani, Lin Yang, Eugene J. Baik, Hemanth Sampath

Patent number: 8923432Abstract: Methods and devices for communicating in a communication system are described herein. One aspect provides a method of communicating over one or more space-time streams. The method includes transmitting a first stream with a bandwidth of 2 MHz or less. The method further includes transmitting, when there are at least two streams, a second stream with a cyclic shift delay relative to the first stream equal to half a period. The method further includes transmitting, when there are at least three streams, a third stream with a cyclic shift delay relative to one of the first and second stream equal to a quarter of the period. The method further includes transmitting, when there are at least four streams, a fourth stream with a cyclic shift delay relative to the other of the first and second stream equal to a quarter of the period.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2012Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Eugene J.

Patent number: 8825480Abstract: A system is provided for transmitting information through a speech codec (in-band) such as found in a wireless communication network. A modulator transforms the data into a spectrally noise-like signal based on the mapping of a shaped pulse to predetermined positions within a modulation frame, and the signal is efficiently encoded by a speech codec. A synchronization sequence provides modulation frame timing at the receiver and is detected based on analysis of a correlation peak pattern. A request/response protocol provides reliable transfer of data using message redundancy, retransmission, and/or robust modulation modes dependent on the communication channel conditions.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2009Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Qualcomm IncorporatedInventors: Christoph A. Joetten, Christian Sgraja, Georg Frank, Pengjun Huang, Christian Pietsch, Marc W. Werner, Ethan R. Duni, Eugene J. Baik

Patent number: 8811507Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication. In one aspect, an apparatus for wireless communication is provided. The apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive a wireless signal comprising a packet over a bandwidth. The packet includes a preamble portion comprising a signaling (SIG) field. A first portion of the SIG field is received over a first bandwidth within the bandwidth. A second portion of the SIG field is received after the first portion, the second portion received over a second bandwidth within the bandwidth. The first bandwidth is different than the second bandwidth, The second portion is replicated at least once within the bandwidth. The apparatus further includes a processor configured to evaluate the wireless signal including at least one of the first or second portions of the SIG field.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2013Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Eugene J.

Patent number: 8780740Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in which VoIP traffic is scheduled in a way that focuses on controlling user latencies, by reshaping packet latency profiles of individual users to more efficiently utilize power/code resources. A feedback mechanism may utilize certain latency controllers to adjust a queuing delay and an over-the-air transmit time to meet latency targets. That is, system resources may be allocated in a wireless network by adjusting a latency target for a packet responsive to a user's packet latency history.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2010Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Eugene J.
