Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for wireless communications. Some aspects more specifically relate to elevation estimation for determining operating channels and transmission parameters. A wireless communication device, such as a cloud service, may receive geolocation information of an access point (AP). Additionally, or alternatively, the wireless communication device may receive air pressure and temperature information of the AP. Using the geolocation information and building datasets including locations and heights of buildings surrounding the AP, the wireless communication device may identify a highest building and based on its, height estimate an elevation of the AP. Based on the estimated building height and elevation, the wireless communication device may determine a set of transmission parameters for the AP and transmit an indication of the set to the AP.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for 100 MHz transmission. Some aspects more specifically relate to 100 MHz transmission in a defined bandwidth in which a 160 MHz PPDU is supported. In some examples, based on the country code in a beacon frame indicating a country in which a 160 MHz PPDU is supported within a defined bandwidth, wireless communications devices may communicate 100 MHz transmissions within the defined bandwidth. For example, the 100 MHz transmission may be within the lower 100 MHz band of the 160 MHz defined bandwidth. In various aspects, the 100 MHz transmission may include an 80 MHz subband in the lower 80 MHz subband of the 160 MHz PPDU bandwidth and a 20 MHz subband in the upper 80 MHz subband of the 160 MHz PPDU bandwidth. In some aspects, the defined bandwidth may be the 5735 MHz to 5895 MHz band.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for improving wireless communications in power spectral density (PSD)-limited frequency bands. A wireless communication device, having a number (NTX) of transmit antennas, parses a physical layer (PHY) protocol data unit (PPDU) into a number (NSS) of spatial streams and modulates the NSS spatial streams on a number (M) of subcarriers. In some implementations, the wireless communication device may transmit the PPDU using a number (N) of the transmit antennas, where NSS?N<NTX. In some other implementations, the wireless communication device may subdivide the M subcarriers into subcarrier groups and may transmit each subcarrier group using a respective subset of the NTX transmit antennas, where the number of transmit antennas used to transmit each subcarrier group is greater than or equal to the number of spatial streams modulated on the subcarriers in the group but less than NTX.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for physical layer (PHY) packet design for power spectral density (PSD) limits. In some implementations, a wireless communication device generates a plurality of PHY convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) duplicates configured for transmission over a selected bandwidth, and transmits each PPDU duplicate of the plurality of PPDU duplicates on a corresponding frequency subband of a plurality of different frequency subbands. In some other implementations, the wireless communication device generates a PPDU for transmission over a set of duplicated resource units (RUs) allocated to the wireless communication device, and transmits the PPDU over the allocated set of duplicated RUs.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses for wireless communication. An example apparatus selects a resource unit (RU) for a physical (PHY) layer convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU). The selected RU includes a set of contiguous tones spanning a bandwidth. The apparatus maps the set of contiguous tones to a set of non-contiguous tones distributed across the frequency spectrum, and transmits the PPDU over the set of non-contiguous tones. Another example apparatus selects an RU of a group of RUs that collectively span a frequency spectrum, and formats a PPDU based on a first frequency bandwidth wider than the selected RU's bandwidth. The apparatus parses the contiguous tones of the selected RU to a set of non-contiguous tones spanning a unique segment of a second frequency bandwidth wider than the first frequency bandwidth, and schedules a transmission of the PPDU over the set of non-contiguous tones.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices, and systems for dynamic frequency selection approach for cellular and Wi-Fi spectrum sharing. In some examples, wireless local area network (WLAN) devices may operate in a shared frequency bandwidth based on monitoring for one or more signals from cellular devices. For example, a WLAN device detect may detect a broadcast signal via a first frequency bandwidth, and determine that the first frequency bandwidth is in use by one or more cellular networks. As such, the WLAN device may perform communication operations (e.g., WLAN operations) via a second frequency bandwidth different from the first frequency bandwidth, or a different channel of the first frequency bandwidth. If the WLAN device does not detect such a signal, the WLAN device may operate via the first frequency bandwidth, and the WLAN device may be configured to perform periodic monitoring of the first frequency bandwidth.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) includes a first communication component configured to use a first frequency band, such as ultra-wide band (UWB), and a second communication component configured to use an intermediate frequency (IF) band that overlaps with the UWB band, such as an IF millimeter wave (mmWave) band. The second communication component conducts an IF signal along an internal signal conduction line that may interfere with UWB processing. A processor of the UE is configured to detect an indication of such interference, and, in response to the indication of interference, control the second communication component to adjust a characteristic of the IF band signal to mitigate the interference, such as by reducing its signal strength. The amount by which the IF band signal strength is reduced may be controlled to achieve a desired tradeoff between various performance metrics, such as power consumption and quality of service.
