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 17):
A tangible computer-readable device having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:\n generating an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standard compliant action frame, wherein the IEEE 802.11 standard compliant action frame comprises a IEEE 802.11 standard compliant action field that species a preference request to join a multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) transmission from an AP; transmitting, by a transceiver, the IEEE 802.11 standard compliant action frame to the AP; receiving, by the transceiver, an acknowledgement frame from the AP, wherein the acknowledgement frame indicates that the AP is configured to use the MU-MIMO transmission with the at least one computing device; and receiving, by the transceiver, data from the AP via the MU-MIMO transmission.
