METHOD, APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT IN WIRELESS NETWORKS

摘要

Embodiments of a system and method for communicating acknowledgments in a wireless network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a method of wirelessly communicating acknowledgements includes receiving a first signal on a first subchannel from a second wireless device. The method may include transmitting a block acknowledgement of the first signal on a subchannel. The first wireless communication device may not receive a block acknowledgement request to transmit the block acknowledgement. In some embodiments, a method of communicating block acknowledgements includes transmitting a first transmission to a first wireless device on a first subchannel and a second transmission to a second wireless device on a second subchannel. The method may include receiving a first block acknowledgement from the first wireless device and a second block acknowledgement from second wireless device. The first and second block acknowledgement may be received on one of the first and second subchannels.

主权项

1. A station (STA), the STA comprising hardware processing circuitry configured to:
receive data frames on a subchannel from an access point (AP) in accordance with down link (DL) multi-user multiple input and multiple output (MU-MIMO) and orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA); and in response to the data frames, transmit a block acknowledgement of the data frames in accordance with uplink (UL) MU-MIMO and OFDMA.
