  • Patent number: 11800445
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to wireless communications based on a restricted TWT SP and buffer status. As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, frames are transmitted based on a restricted TWT SP and buffer status for communications between wireless circuits. Control data for the communications traffic may be processed in response to the restricted TWT SP, with a TXOP ending at the beginning of a restricted TWT SP of a another link, in response to the restricted TWT SP being negotiated in a different link. Such an approach may be carried out where one of the wireless circuits has no STR configuration. A protected duration time for the TWT SP may be set to a time that is less than a duration of the TWT SP in response to the TWT SP being protected by a quiet element duration period.

  • Publication number: 20230275724
    Abstract: A wireless device transmits a frame by determining a plurality of Resource Units (RUs) of the frame, providing pilots in a first RU of the frame at a first set of positions, providing pilots in a second RU of the frame at a second set of positions, and transmitting the frame. The first set of positions is different from the second set of positions. A wireless device receives a frame including an RU including pilots and processes the pilots. When an RU for the data symbol includes an odd-numbered lowest subcarrier, the pilots are included at a first set of positions in the resource unit. When the RU includes an even-numbered lowest subcarrier, the pilots are included at a second set of positions in the resource unit. The second set of positions is different from the first set of positions.
