Title: Receiver processor for adaptive windowing and high-resolution TOA determination in a multiple receiver target location system
Inventor: EDWARD A RICHLEY
IPC: H04W4/02
Filed: 2015-05-29
Abstract: The present invention provides methods for a high-resolution active RTLS tag location determination system that provides for < Ins TOA accuracy and resolution and significantly reduces the channel effects of multipath interference, even in low SNR applications. To accomplish these objectives, the present invention provides for an iterative and adaptive windowing function in each of the receivers of a receiver grid that captures multiple reflections of multiple transmissions from each of the associated target RTLS tags. The adaptive windowing function is used in conjunction with an asynchronous transmit and receive clock function that effectively increases resolution of TOA detection to levels less than the minimum detection window width associated with each of the receivers in the receiver grid.

Title: Direct link and downlink transmissions in trigger-based multi-user transmissions
Inventor: PATRICE NEZOU
IPC: H04W84/12
Filed: 2018-07-06
Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to enhanced multi-user (MU) uplink (UL) protocols in wireless networks that allow non-UL transmissions to be performed simultaneously with triggered MU UL transmissions. A station may send a modified trigger frame triggering MU transmissions with an appropriate signalling to allow non-UL transmissions, i.e. transmission to another station, in a resource unit (RU) of the MU transmission. Examples of non-UL transmissions include Direct Link (DiL) transmissions as well as downlink (DL) transmissions. The resource unit may be allocated for downlink transmission from an access point (AP) acting as the triggering station to the destination triggered station (non-AP). A field associated with the resource unit in the trigger frame may include an Association ID (AID12) subfield which, when including an AID assigned to a specific non-AP station during association with the AP, allocates the resource unit to the specific non-AP station for uplink transmission, wherein signalling includes setting, in the AID12 subfield, an AID value reserved to data transmission to a destination triggered station. The field is the User Info field associated with the resource unit according to 802.11ax v3.0.
