20100232483 | Calibration Correction for Implicit Beamforming in a Wireless MIMO Communication System - A first packet is transmitted via a forward channel corresponding to a signal direction from a first transceiver device to a second transceiver device, wherein the first packet includes a request to initiate calibration. A partial dimensional description of a reverse channel is determined based on the reception of a second packet received from the second transceiver device, wherein the second packet includes training information of spatial dimensions used for the transmission of the second packet but does not include training information for all available spatial dimensions of a reverse channel. A correction matrix is developed from the partial dimensional description of the reverse channel and a description of the forward channel, and the correction matrix and a steering matrix is used to process signals to be transmitted via the forward channel. | 09-16-2010 |
20120057492 | Opportunistic 40 MHz Mode of Transmission in Wireless Transmitters - A system includes a signal processing module and a control module. The signal processing module receives a first clear channel assessment (CCA) signal for a first sub-channel of a communication channel, increases a pulse width of the first CCA signal by a predetermined period of time, and generates a second CCA signal. The control module receives the second CCA signal and a third CCA signal for a second sub-channel of the communication channel. The control module transmits data via one of the second sub-channel and the communication channel based on the second and third CCA signals. | 03-08-2012 |
20130242928 | OPPORTUNISTIC 40 MHZ MODE OF TRANSMISSION IN WIRELESS TRANSMITTERS - A system including a physical layer module and a control module. The physical layer module is configured to generate a first clear channel assessment for a first sub-channel of a communication channel and generate a second clear channel assessment for a second sub-channel of the communication channel. The first clear channel assessment indicates whether the first sub-channel is free or busy. The second clear channel assessment indicates whether the second sub-channel is free or busy. The control module is configured to, in response to the second sub-channel being busy, extend a duration of the second clear channel assessment by a predetermined period of time, and transmit data via (i) only the first sub-channel or (ii) both the first sub-channel and the second sub-channel based on (a) the first clear channel assessment, (b) the second clear channel assessment, and (c) the extended duration of the first clear channel assessment. | 09-19-2013 |

20100232475 | Equal Power Output Spatial Spreading Matrix for Use in a Wireless MIMO Communication System - A spatial spreading unit is configured to utilize a spatial spreading matrix to distribute two or more encoded spatial data streams to transmission antennas. The spatial spreading matrix has components (i) associated with each row of a row dimension having a number of rows equal to the number of the transmission antennas to be used to transmit the encoded spatial data streams and (ii) associated with each column of a column dimension having a number of columns equal to the number of the encoded spatial data streams to be transmitted. Additionally, the spatial spreading matrix satisfies one or more of the following two constraints: (1) the ratio of squared norms of the sum of the components of a row, for different rows of the spatial spreading matrix, is equal to a first constant sequence, and (2) the ratio of squared norms of the sum of a symbol Sl to be transmitted, when the symbol Sl is equal to 1 or −1, multiplied by each of the components of a row, for different rows of the spatial spreading matrix, is equal to a second constant sequence. | 09-16-2010 |
