WiFi multi-band communication
An AP transmits a multi-user first downlink transmission to a plurality of client stations via a first WLAN communication channel having a first RF bandwidth. The AP generates a MAC data unit having a trigger frame configured to prompt an uplink multi-user transmission by the plurality of client stations, and transmits a second downlink transmission to the plurality of client stations via a second WLAN communication channel having a second RF bandwidth. The second downlink transmission includes the MAC data unit. The AP receives the uplink multi-user transmission from the plurality of client stations via the second WLAN communication channel, the uplink multi-user transmission including simultaneous transmissions from the plurality of client stations within the second WLAN communication channel that overlap in time with the multi-user first downlink transmission via the first WLAN communication channel.
FIXED WIRELESS ACCESS USING ORTHOGONAL TIME FREQUENCY SPACE MODULATION
A fixed wireless access system is implemented using orthogonal time frequency space multiplexing (OTFS). Data transmissions to/from different devices share transmission resources using—delay Doppler multiplexing, time-frequency multiplexing, multiplexing at stream and/or layer level, and angular multiplexing. Time-frequency multiplexing is achieved by dividing the time-frequency plan into subgrids, with the subsampled time frequency grid being used to carry the OTFS data. Antenna implementations include a hemispherical antenna with multiple antenna elements arranged in an array to achieve multiplexing.

Narrow bandwidth part transitions for reduced capability devices
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Wireless communications systems may support implementation of narrow bandwidth parts (NBWPs). For example, a NBWP may be established over a reduced bandwidth to support user equipment (UEs) with reduced complexity features (e.g., such as UEs with reduced bandwidth capabilities). Wireless communications systems may provide for UE transitioning to a NBWP (e.g., after initial cell search), as well as for UE transitioning amongst NBWPs (e.g., subsequent transitions to other NBWPs after an initial transition to a NBWP after initial cell search). For example, a UE may initially transition to a NBWP (e.g., transition to monitor the NBWP for reference signals or to utilize the NBWP for uplink/downlink communications) to support reduced bandwidth capabilities of the UE. Subsequently, the UE may transition amongst other NBWPs for network load balancing, UE frequency hopping gain, etc.
