Abstract:
Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for indicating a preference to receive a single-user multiple input multiple output (SU-MIMO) or multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) transmission from an access point (AP). Embodiments include generating a standard action frame that contains an action field that species a preference to receive a SU-MIMO or MU-MIMO transmission from the AP. A station (STA) can transmit the generated action frame to the AP. The STA can receive an acknowledgement frame from the AP that indicates the AP is configured to use the requested transmission method. The STA can then receive data from the AP using the requested transmission method.

Claim (Index 12):
An access point (AP), comprising:\n a memory; a transceiver; and at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the transceiver, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:\n receive, by the transceiver, an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standard compliant action frame from a station, wherein the IEEE 802.11 standard compliant action frame comprises a IEEE 802.11 standard compliant action field that species a preference request to receive a single-user multiple input multiple output (SU-MIMO) transmission from the AP; \n determine to use the SU-MIMO transmission with the station based at least in part on the IEEE 802.11 standard compliant action frame; and \n transmit, by the transceiver, an acknowledgement frame to the station responsive to the determination, wherein the acknowledgement frame indicates that the AP is configured to use the SU-MIMO transmission with the station.
