Abstract

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to a flexible connectivity framework. A first device may send a trigger frame to a second device. The first device may then receive an uplink bandwidth resource request from the second device. The first device may detect a high efficiency-long training field (HE-LTF) in the uplink bandwidth resource request. The first device may send an uplink multiuser trigger frame, and the first device may receive an uplink frame from the second device.

Claims (24)

1. An access point comprising:

at least one memory storing computer-executable instructions; and

at least one processor configured to access the at least one memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

cause to send a trigger frame to a first device;

receive an uplink bandwidth resource request from the first device, in response to sending the trigger frame;

determine a high efficiency-long training field (HE-LTF) in the uplink bandwidth resource request;

cause to send an uplink multiuser trigger frame; and

identify an uplink frame received from the first device.

2. The access point of claim 1 , further comprising at least one transceiver configured to transmit and receive wireless signals.

3. The access point of claim 2 , further comprising at least one antenna coupled to the at least one transceiver configured to dissipate and detect electromagnetic energy associated with transmitting the wireless signals and receiving the wireless signals respectively.

4. The access point of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to determine a high efficiency-short training field (HE-STF) in the uplink bandwidth resource request from the first device.

5. The access point of claim 4 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to set an automatic gain control (AGC) based at least in part on the HE-STF.

6. The access point of claim 1 , wherein the HE-LTF is received on a resource unit (RU) with a corresponding frequency code.

7. The access point of claim 6 , wherein the HE-LTF is received on an RU associated with a time code corresponding to at least one orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) symbol.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which when executed by at least one processor results in performing operations comprising:

causing to send a trigger frame to a first device;

receiving an uplink bandwidth resource request from the first device, in response to sending the trigger frame;

determining a high efficiency-long training field (HE-LTF) in the uplink bandwidth resource request;

causing to send an uplink multiuser trigger frame; and

identifying an uplink frame from the first device.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to determine a high efficiency-short training field (HE-STF) in the uplink bandwidth resource request from the first device.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to set an automatic gain control (AGC) based at least in part on the HE-STF.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the HE-LTF is received on a resource unit (RU) with a corresponding frequency code.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the HE-LTF is received on an RU associated with a time code corresponding to at least one orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) symbol.
