Abstract:
A wireless communication device (alternatively, device, WDEV, etc.) includes at least one processing circuitry configured to support communications with other WDEV(s) and to generate and process signals for such communications. In some examples, the device includes a communication interface and a processing circuitry, among other possible circuitries, components, elements, etc. to support communications with other WDEV(s) and to generate and process signals for such communications. The WDEV receives a null data packet (NDP) announcement frame that specifies a sub-carrier (SC) or tone grouping factor, a communication channel bandwidth, and other WDEV(s) to respond with beamforming feedback. The WDEV process the NDP announcement frame to determine it is to respond, and if so, then receives a NDP sounding frame that includes long training fields (LTFs) and pilots at predetermined locations and generates beamforming feedback of communication channel estimates at SCs as determined based on a sub-carrier roster look up table (LUT).

Claim (Index 12):
The wireless communication device of  claim 9 , wherein the plurality of pilots at predetermined locations is based on an OFDMA sub-carrier plan that is characterized by:\n a first OFDMA sub-carrier sub-plan that includes a first plurality of resource units (RUs) of a first sub-carrier size and a first plurality of pilots at first locations that are substantially uniformly distributed within a plurality of OFDMA sub-carriers; a second OFDMA sub-carrier sub-plan that includes a second plurality of RUs of a second sub-carrier size that is greater than the first sub-carrier size and a second plurality of pilots that includes a same number of pilots as the first plurality of pilots at second locations that are same as the first locations within the plurality of OFDMA sub-carriers; and a third OFDMA sub-carrier sub-plan that includes a third plurality of RUs of a third sub-carrier size that is greater than the second sub-carrier size and a third plurality of pilots that includes fewer pilots than the second plurality of pilots at third locations that include a subset of the first locations within the plurality of OFDMA sub-carriers.
