Abstract: For example, an apparatus may include a segment parser to parse scrambled data bits of a PPDU into a first plurality of data bits and a second plurality of data bits, the PPDU to be transmitted in an OFDM transmission over an aggregated bandwidth comprising a first channel in a first frequency band and a second channel in a second frequency band; a first baseband processing block to encode and modulate the first plurality of data bits according to a first OFDM MCS for transmission over the first channel in the first frequency band; and a second baseband block to encode and modulate the second plurality of data bits according to a second OFDM MCS for transmission over the second channel in the second frequency band.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of signaling coding type is disclosed. The coding types include binary convolutional coding (BCC), legacy lifted Low-Density Parity Check (LDPC) code, and lifted LDPC code having a length that is a multiple of the maximum legacy LDPC code. The number of bits used to indicate the coding type in a User Info field depends on whether multiple lifted LDPC codes are available for encoding, whether the lifted LDPC code is an optional coding type, or a payload size. The frame containing the User Info field is transmitted to another STA and the response contains a payload encoded using the indicated coding type.

Abstract: A system and method for providing emergency vehicle services is provided. The method includes detecting an emergency condition including a vehicle crash and/or rollover, determining if a vehicle telematics unit is available, and initiating an emergency communication using one or more wireless devices present in the vehicle if the vehicle telematics unit is unavailable.

Abstract: A vehicle control system and a method for extending the availability of certain vehicle systems that require mechanical output from an engine, such as power-assisted steering, braking, and vehicle acceleration following an unintended ignition event. In one embodiment, the method overrides ignition signals indicating an inactive ignition status and keeps the engine running if certain conditions are met. In another embodiment, the method attempts to automatically restart the engine while the vehicle is moving if the engine stops running, so long as certain conditions are met.
