Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for determining unavailable spatial streams in uplink multiuser (MU) multiple-in multiple-out (MIMO) communication. In one example, a device transmits, to wireless stations including a first wireless station, a trigger frame configured to elicit a joint transmission, to the device, of a MU packet over spatial streams respectively associated with the wireless stations. The device receives the MU packet over the spatial streams, where each spatial stream of the spatial streams is received by receive chains of the device. The device performs a channel estimation associated with each spatial stream of the spatial streams using each receive chain of the receive chains. The device determines that at least one spatial stream associated with the first wireless station is unavailable based on the channel estimation. The device processes the MU packet from the plurality of spatial streams without the at least one spatial stream.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. An apparatus is configured to communicate over a primary channel via a first set of antennas and over the primary via a second set of antennas. The second set of antennas is switched from the primary channel to a secondary channel when the communication over the primary channel is idle. A channel availability checks (CACs) is performed on the secondary channel when the primary channel is idle to determine whether radar signals are detected on the secondary channel.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for wireless communications. More particularly, an access point may assign a channel weighting factor to each channel in a candidate channel list. The access point may identify an attribute of a radar signal detected on a current operating channel. The access point may adjust, based at least in part on the identified attribute, the channel weighting factor assigned to a channel of the candidate channel list adjacent to the current operating channel. The access point may select a new operating channel from the candidate channel list based at least in part on the assigned channel weighting factor.
