The disclosure is related to a method and a system for long-distance full-duplex wireless communication. The system is mainly composed of a control circuit, at least one wireless transmission module and one or more wireless gateway modules. The wireless gateway module can receive data from a terminal node via one of multiple channels. The control circuit instructs a wireless transmission module to transmit data. The system utilizes the wireless transmission module to deal with the data from the gateway modules. In the method, in order to achieve full-duplex communication, the system obtains transmission parameters of every terminal node, sets up a transmission schedule with respect to signals having various frequencies within designated time slots according to the operating environment of the node, assigns a transmission priority within the time slots and stores the setting in the node.

An example system includes a hub transceiver and a plurality of edge transceivers. The hub transceiver is operable to transmit, over a first communications channel, a first message to each of the edge transceivers concurrently, including an indication of available network resources on an optical communications network. The message may be transmitted through amplitude modulation of a plurality of optical subcarriers output from the hub. Each of the edge transceiver is operable to transmit, over a second communications channel, such as a subcarrier having a reduced spectral width and/or power than optical subcarriers carrying user data. The second communications channel carries a respective second message to the hub transceiver including an indication of a respective subset of the available network resources selected by the edge transceiver for use in communicating over the optical communications network. Further, the edge transceiver is operable to receive, from the hub transceiver, a third message acknowledging receipt of a selection and a fourth message confirming an assignment of the selected subset of the available network resources to the edge transceiver.

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for indicating a data rate of a packet. The transmitting device may select the data rate of a data field of the packet to be transmitted to the receiving device, and may select a pattern to embed within a preamble of the packet based on the selected data rate. In some implementations, the transmitting device may select a first structure including a first number of instances of a sequence or its logical complement if the selected data rate is a low data rate, and may select a second structure including a second number of instances of the sequence or its logical complement if the selected data rate is a high data rate.

An example system includes a hub transceiver and a plurality of edge transceivers. The hub transceiver is operable to determine a plurality of optical subcarriers available for assignment by the hub transceiver to the plurality of the edge transceivers for use in communicating over an optical communications network, and assign, to each of the edge transceivers, a respective subset of the optical subcarriers. Each of the subsets of the optical subcarriers includes a respective data optical subcarrier for transmitting data over the optical communications network. At least one of the subsets of the optical subcarriers includes one or more respective idle optical subcarriers. The hub t transceiver is also operable to transmit to each of the edge transceivers, an indication of the respective subset of the optical subcarriers assigned to the edge transceiver.

In one embodiment, an apparatus includes: a transmitter to send first data to a device coupled to the apparatus via a physical link; a receiver to receive second data from the device via the physical link; and a control circuit to control the transmitter to send the first data at a first effective rate during a link activation interval of a data transfer interval and to control the receiver to receive the second data at a second effective rate during the link activation interval, the second effective rate different than the first effective rate. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Embodiments of an enhanced directional multi-gigabit (EDMG) station (STA), access point (AP), and method of communication are generally described herein. The EDMG STA may receive, from the AP, a Link Measurement Request Frame that includes a request for information for time division duplexing (TDD) rate adaptation. The EDMG STA may transmit a Link Measurement Response Frame that includes a Directional Multi Gigabit (DMG) Link Margin element that includes a Rate Adaptation Control parameter.
