SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MULTI-USER RESOURCE ASSIGNMENTS

摘要

In an example of multi-user wireless communications, an access point may send a downlink frame, including a common field and a user specific field, to multiple stations. The common field and the user specific field are located in a header field called a high efficiency signal-B (HE SIG-B) field. The common field includes information for all of the stations. The user specific field includes multiple sub-fields. At least one of the multiple sub-fields is for each of the stations. The stations may decode their respective portions of the downlink frame based on the common field and their respective sub-field(s). Some or all of the stations may generate and transmit their respective uplink frames, for multi-user transmission such as OFDMA, based on the common field and their respective sub-field(s) included in the downlink frame. The downlink frame may be a trigger frame. Other methods, apparatus, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

主权项

1. An apparatus for facilitating wireless communication, the apparatus comprising:
one or more memories; and one or more processors coupled to the one or more memories, the one or more processors configured to cause:
determining a common field and at least one sub-field of a user specific field based on a received frame, wherein the common field and the user specific field are located in a header field of the received frame, wherein the common field includes information for all of a plurality of stations, and wherein the at least one sub-field includes information specific to one of the plurality of stations;decoding one or more portions of the received frame based on the common field and the at least one sub-field; andproviding the decoded one or more portions of the received frame for processing.
