20170331644 · 2017-11-16 ·

A method and system for maximizing throughput and minimizing latency in a communication system that supports heterogeneous links is presented. The communication system supports a primary link and an alternate link, and the method and system leverage the alternate link to reduce the overhead transmitted over the primary link, thereby increasing throughput and reducing end-to-end latency. The higher latency alternate link provides a delayed version of an information signal that corresponds to a portion of the information signal that is transmitted on the primary link. The received samples from the primary and alternate links may be used to equalize subsequent portions of the information signal received over the primary link, and may also be used for synchronization, timing recovery, DC offset removal, I/Q imbalance compensation, and frequency-offset estimation.

WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK SOUNDING PROTOCOL
20170331605 · 2017-11-16 ·

An access point (AP) in a wireless local area network (WLAN) uses a protocol to determine frequency/time resource allocations of resource units (RUs) in parallel with data transfer to and from WLAN stations (STAs). The AP generates a sounding table associating STAs with RUs for uplink (UL) and downlink (DL). The AP processes the sounding table to create a channel map table and then the AP allocates particular RUs to particular STAs. The STAs then receive and transmit data from and to the AP over the allocated RUs. This approach achieves good throughput while reducing the use of signaling and pilot overhead associated with channel sounding. To avoid interruption of ongoing transmissions, a newly arriving STA is grouped and sounded with other STAs. The protocol includes a joint sounding and data epoch followed by a determination of the channel map table.
