  • Patent number: 10928480
    Abstract: Devices and methods of estimating the AoD of a STA are generally described. The STA receives comparison symbols from a first AP antenna. The comparison symbols are received prior to and after switching of transmitter chains from a first set of antennas to a second set of antennas. AoD symbols are received immediately after the comparison symbols. A phase and amplitude correction is determined based on a phase and amplitude change between the comparison symbols and the second AoD symbol corrected based thereon. The AoD is subsequently estimated based on the symbol measurements.

  • Patent number: 10686628
    Abstract: Embodiments of an access point (AP), station (STA) and method of sounding are generally described herein. The AP may transmit, during a transmission opportunity (TXOP), a trigger frame (TF) to indicate that an STA is to transmit an uplink sounding packet during an uplink sounding period of the TXOP. The AP may attempt to detect the uplink sounding packet during the uplink sounding period. If the uplink sounding packet is not detected during the uplink sounding period, the AP may transmit a recovery packet to cause other STAs to determine a busy condition during the uplink sounding period. If the uplink sounding packet is detected during the uplink sounding period, the AP may determine a channel estimate for the STA based at least partly on the uplink sounding packet.
