Disclosed are a method and a device for transmitting data based on different pilot tone patterns in a wireless LAN. The method for transmitting data based on the different pilot tone patterns in a wireless LAN may comprise the steps of: an AP transmitting, to a first STA, a first data field generated based on a first pilot tone pattern, from a first frequency bandwidth; and the AP transmitting, to a second STA, a second data field generated based on a second pilot tone pattern, from a second frequency bandwidth, wherein the size of the first frequency bandwidth is n times larger than the size of the second frequency bandwidth, the size of IFFT applied to the first data field and the size of IFFT applied to the second data field are identical, the first pilot tone pattern includes a plurality of first pilot tones, wherein the plurality of first pilot tones are respectively allocated to each of a plurality of first pilot tone indexes, the second pilot tone pattern includes a plurality of second pilot tones, wherein the plurality of second pilot tones are respectively allocated to each of a plurality of second pilot tone indexes, and wherein a portion of the first pilot tone indexes may be identical to the plurality of second pilot tone indexes.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a base station, an indication that the UE is capable of transmitting or receiving transport block (TB) repetitions using spatial division multiplexing (SDM). The UE may receive, from the base station and based at least in part on the indication, at least one downlink control information (DCI) message that schedules a TB in a first resource and a repetition of the TB in a second resource, the first resource and the second resource at least partially overlapping in a time domain and a frequency domain. The UE may communicate the TB and the repetition of the TB using different antenna panels according to the at least one DCI message. Numerous other aspects are provided.

A system operative to replicate an exact frequency match among multiple signals associated with spatial multiplexing. The system includes twisted pairs and a converter configured to receive multiple input signals, in which each of the input signals is an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing signal comprising multiple sub-carriers, and in which input signals are associated respectively with multiple streams generated in conjunction with spatial multiplexing. The converter utilizes a reference signal, associated with an original conversion signal(s) used outside the converter to establish respective frequency ranges associated with the input signals, to reproduce the original conversion signal(s) as respective replica conversion signal(s). The replica conversion signal(s) are used to respectively convert the input signals into output signals all occupying a same single frequency range such that the sub-carriers of each output signal exactly match in frequency, thus enabling wireless transmission and successful decoding of output signals in conjunction with spatial multiplexing.

A method for correcting errors in a multiple antenna system based on a plurality of sub-carriers and a transmitting/receiving apparatus supporting the same are disclosed. The method includes determining a phase shift based precoding matrix phase shifted at a predetermined phase angle, initially transmitting each sub-carrier symbol to a receiver in a packet unit by using the phase shift based precoding matrix, reconstructing the phase shift based precoding matrix to reduce a spatial multiplexing rate if a negative reception acknowledgement (NACK) is received from the receiver, and retransmitting the initially transmitted sub-carrier symbol by using the reconstructed phase shift based precoding matrix or by changing the phase shift based precoding matrix using offset information fed back from the receiver or random offset information.

Systems and methods for multidimensional beam refinement procedures and signaling for millimeter wave WLANs. In some embodiments, there are multi-dimensional enhanced beam refinement protocol MAC and PHY frame designs that extend the MAC packet and the PPDU format with or without backwards compatibility. The multiple dimensions may be supported jointly or separately. In other embodiments, the increased data signaled in the eBRP frame designs may be more efficiently signaled with reduced BRP frame sizes, such as through a training type dependent BRP minimum duration selection procedure or use of null data packet BRP frames. In further embodiments, the maximum duration of the interframe spacing between BPR packets may be varied to improve the efficiency of BRP operation.

The systems, methods, and techniques described in this disclosure allow different wireless systems that operate in accordance with different Radio Access Technologies (RATs) to coexist within a same frequency domain with minimal (if any) inter-RAT interference. Specifically, the described techniques allocate a respective, mutually-exclusive portion of a plurality of Space-Time-Frequency (STF) resources for use in communicating in accordance with each different RAT. For example, mutually-exclusive portions of spatial domain resources, time domain resources, and/or frequency domain resources may be respectively allocated for exclusive use by different RATs. A centralized, third-party controller (120) may perform the allocations, or the allocations may be cooperatively arrived at between systems supporting different RATs, e.g., in a peer-to-peer manner. STF resource allocations may be static and/or dynamic over time, and STF resources may be uniquely identified by respective resource identifiers.
