Abstract:
Apparatuses, computer readable media, and methods for uplink and downlink sounding for wireless networks are disclosed. An apparatus of a wireless device is disclosed. The apparatus comprising processing circuity configured to: encode a trigger frame for sounding (TF-S), the TF-S comprising an indication of whether a sounding is for uplink (UL) sounding or (DL) sounding, and the TF-S comprising an indication of stations to participate in the UL sounding or the DL sounding; and configure the wireless device to transmit the TF-S to the stations. The processing circuitry may be further configured to: if the sounding is for the DL sounding, encode a null data packet announcement (NDP-A), encode a null data packet (NDP), configure the wireless device to transmit the NDP-A, and configure the wireless device to transmit the NDP.

Claim (Index 21):
An apparatus of a station, the apparatus comprising: memory; and processing circuitry coupled to the memory, the processing circuity configured to:\n decode a trigger frame for sounding (TF-S), the TF-S comprising an indication of whether the sounding is for uplink (UL) sounding or downlink (DL) sounding, and the TF-S comprising an indication of stations to participate in the UL sounding or the DL sounding; if the sounding is for the DL sounding, decode the TF-S that further comprises a resource allocation for the station to transmit feedback and comprises an indication of a type of feedback, decode a null data packet announcement (NDP-A), decode a null data packet (NDP), determine feedback based on the type of feedback and the NDP, encode a feedback frame with the feedback, and configure the station to transmit the feedback frame in accordance with the resource allocation; and if the sounding is for the UL sounding, decode the TF-S that further comprises a resource allocation for the station to transmit null data packets (NDPs), encode the NDPs, and configure the station to transmit the NDPs in accordance with the resource allocation.
