Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are drawn to methods and electronic devices capable of performing coordinate spatial reuse for wirelessly transmitting data on a channel in coordination with another wireless AP operating an overlapping BSS using the same wireless channel. The device can perform RSSI measurements and generate Per-RU RSSI reports including the RSSI measurements information for transmission to another wireless AP. The RSSI measurement can be performed by the device based on power levels detected when receiving TB PPDUs transmitted by wireless STAs responsive to trigger frames, for example. Based on the Per-RU RSSI report, a wireless AP can be configured to transmit data to an associated wireless STA without causing significant interference when another AP of the overlapping BSS is also transmitting, and can schedule frames for transmission from associated wireless STAs accordingly.

Abstract: Techniques pertaining to enhanced long range (ELR) communication schemes in wireless communications are described. An apparatus (e.g., a station (STA)) performs an ELR communication by either: (i) transmitting an ELR physical-layer protocol data unit (PPDU); or (ii) receiving the ELR PPDU. The ELR PPDU includes a spoofing preamble, an ELR preamble and an ELR data portion.

Abstract: Various schemes pertaining to extremely-high-throughput long training filed (EHT-LTF) sequence design for distributed-tone resource units (dRUs) with peak-to-average power ration (PAPR) reduction in 6 GHz low-power indoor (LPI) systems are described. A communication entity distributes subcarriers of a RU with a resolution of four times (4×) subcarrier spacing to generate a 4×EHT-LTF of an uplink (UL) trigger-based (TB) physical-layer protocol data unit (PPDU) with a dRU. The communication entity then transmits the 4×EHT-LTF for the UL TB PPDU with dRU.

Abstract: Various schemes pertaining to transmission power control (TPC) for distributed-tone resource units (dRUs) and distributed multi-resource units (dMRUs) in 6 GHz low-power indoor (LPI) systems are described. A communication entity distributes subcarriers of a resource unit (RU) and a multi-RU over a physical-layer protocol data unit (PPDU) bandwidth or a frequency subblock of a bandwidth to generate a dRU and a dMRU associated with an uplink (UL) trigger-based (TB) PPDU comprising at least an extremely-high-throughput (EHT) short training field (EHT-STF), an EHT long training field (EHT-LTF), and a payload of data. The communication entity then transmits the dRU or dMRU associated with the UL TB PPDU with transmission power control such that symbols associated with the EHT-STF are transmitted with a first power and symbols associated with the EHT-LTF and the payload are transmitted with a second power.

Abstract: Various schemes pertaining to extremely-high-throughput short training field (EHT-STF) transmission for distributed-tone resource units (dRUs) in 6 GHz low-power indoor (LPI) systems are described. A communication entity distributes subcarriers of a RU over an entire physical-layer protocol data unit (PPDU) bandwidth or a frequency subblock of a bandwidth to generate a dRU associated with an EHT-STF of an uplink (UL) trigger-based (TB) PPDU. The communication entity then transmits the dRU associated with the EHT-STF in the entire PPDU bandwidth or a tone range of a regular RU (rRU) corresponding to the frequency subblock.

Abstract: Dual carrier modulation (DCM) encoded data is generated in a first half of a full signal bandwidth. The DCM encoded data generated in the first half of the full signal bandwidth is duplicated in a second half of the full signal bandwidth. The duplicated DCM encoded data in the second half of the full signal bandwidth is multiplied by a modulation vector to result in a reduced peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in transmission.

Abstract: Accordingly, embodiments of the present invention provide methods and devices for low power transmissions that provide improved wireless coverage for 6 GHz LPI transmissions using novel tone mapping techniques. Resource units (RUs) tones are distributed over larger bandwidths to achieve higher transmission power while operating within the PSD requirements of LPI. The tone distribution can include global tone mapping of smaller RUs distributed onto larger bandwidths, or group-based tone distribution methods, for example.

Abstract: Dual sub-carrier modulation (DCM) is introduced in high efficiency (HE) WLAN. DCM is a solution to deal with narrow band interferences and for range extension. DCM can introduce frequency diversity into OFDM systems by transmitting the same information on two subcarriers separated in frequency. If DCM is applied, then the transmitter modulates the same encoded bits onto two separated subcarriers with the same or different constellation mapping schemes. DCM suffers from a high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). In accordance with one novel aspect, a method of transmitting and encoding a HE PPDU frame with binary phase shift keying (BPSK) DCM and lower PAPR is proposed.

Abstract: A method of interleaver design for dual carrier modulation (DCM) is proposed in a wireless network. For HE PPDU transmission with DCM, information bits are first encoded by a BCC encoder. The BCC encoded bit streams are then interleaved by a BCC interleaver. More specifically, the BCC interleaved bits are repeated on two halves of a given resource unit (RU). The BCC interleaver parameters are defined based on half of the total number of the data tones of the RU if DCM is applied. The BCC interleaved bits are then modulated and mapped to two halves of the RU by a DCM constellation mapper.
