Abstract: A first electronic device includes: a first transceiver; a first memory storing at least one instruction; and a first processor operatively connected to the first transceiver and the first memory, the first processor being configured to execute the at least one instruction to: transmit, to at least one second electronic device, a non-high-efficiency (non-HE) announcement frame, and transmit, to the at least one second electronic device, a downlink (DL) multi-user (MU) extension (Ext) physical layer protocol (PPDU), wherein the DL MU Ext PPDU includes: a non-HE PPDU and a HE PPDU.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for controlling sounding or beamforming. In some embodiments, the method includes transmitting, by a first station, an instruction to a second station, the second station being a beamforming station, wherein the instruction instructs the second station: to disable or enable beamforming, or to disable or enable sounding.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided in which an access point (AP) transmits a trigger frame to one or more user equipments (UEs). The trigger frame includes an indication of allocated resource units (RUs) for random access (RA). A UE allocates respective data to a sets of RUs for RA that are consecutive in a single frequency segment over a time domain of a physical protocol data unit (PPDU), based on the trigger frame. The UE transmits the PPDU to the AP.

Abstract: A next generation device is provided. The next generation device is configured for communicating within a wireless network including an access point (AP) supporting the next generation device. The next generation device includes a shorter Slot Time for medium access than legacy devices.

Abstract: The present application relates to a wireless device that is able to operate in overlapping first and second wireless networks. The wireless device is configured to adjust the time at which it transmits beacons for the second wireless network so that the time at which beacons are transmitted by the wireless device does not coincide with the time at which beacons for the first wireless network are transmitted.
