Multi-user interleaving and modulation in a wireless network
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may receive a constellation symbol that includes indications that each are associated with a respective WTRU of a plurality of WTRUs. The WTRU may determine that a first weight associated with a first indication of the indications is different than a second weight associated with a second indication of the indications. The indications may comprise indications of bits modulated at a multi-user constellation bit division multiple access modulator (MU-CBDMAM).
1. A method performed by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:
receiving, from an access point (AP), a constellation symbol, wherein the constellation symbol includes a plurality of indications for multi-user modulation, and each indication is associated with a respective WTRU of a plurality of WTRUs; and
determining, by the WTRU, that a first error protection weight associated with a first indication of the plurality of indications is different than a second error protection weight associated with a second indication of the plurality of indications;
wherein the plurality of indications comprise bits modulated by the AP using multi-user constellation bit division multiple access modulation (MU-CBDMAM).
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of indications comprise bits modulated by the AP using one of open loop MU-CBDMAM or a closed loop MU-CBDMAM.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of indications is associated with a weighting that differs from weightings associated with each other indication.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the constellation symbol is associated with one of a uniform constellation or a non-uniform constellation.
5. The method of claim 1 further comprising receiving, from the AP, a first MU-CBDMAM information element (IE) indicating a capability of the AP.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the first MU-CBDMAM IE is included in a beacon.
7. The method of claim 5 further comprising transmitting, to the AP, an association request comprising a second MU-CBDMAM IE.
8. The method of claim 1 further comprising receiving, by the WTRU, a first data frame associated with one of open loop MU-CBDMAM or closed loop MU-CBDMAM.
9. The method of claim 1 further comprising transmitting, to the AP, a feedback control frame that comprises at least one of an acknowledgement (ACK), channel state information (CSI), or an indication of a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
10. The method of claim 1 further comprising receiving, from the AP, a MU-CBDMAM transmission opportunity (TXOP) end frame.
11. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:
a transceiver configured to receive, from an access point, a constellation symbol, wherein the constellation symbol includes a plurality of indications for multi-user modulation, and each indication is associated with a respective WTRU of a plurality of WTRUs; and
a processor configured to determine that a first error protection weight associated with a first indication of the plurality of indications is different than a second error protection weight associated with a second indication of the plurality of indications;
wherein the plurality of indications include bits modulated by the AP using multi-user constellation bit division multiple access modulation (MU-CBDMAM).
12. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of indications comprise bits modulated by the AP using one of open loop MU-CBDMAM or a closed loop MU-CBDMAM.
13. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein each of the plurality of indications is associated with a weighting that differs from weightings associated with each other indication.
14. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the constellation symbol is associated with one of a uniform constellation or a non-uniform constellation.
15. The WTRU of claim 11 further comprising the transceiver is further configured to receive, from the AP, a first MU-CBDMAM information element (IE) indicating a capability of the AP.
16. The WTRU of claim 15 , wherein the first MU-CBDMAM IE is included in a beacon.
17. The WTRU of claim 15 further comprising the transceiver configured to transmit, to the AP, an association request comprising a second MU-CBDMAM IE.
18. The WTRU of claim 11 further comprising the transceiver is further configured to receive a first data frame associated with one of an open loop MU-CBDMAM or a closed loop MU-CBDMAM.
19. The WTRU of claim 11 further comprising the transceiver configured to transmit, to the AP, a feedback control frame that comprises at least one of an acknowledgement (ACK), channel state information (CSI), or an indication of a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
20. The WTRU of claim 11 further comprising the transceiver is further configured to receive, from the AP, a MU-CBDMAM transmission opportunity (TXOP) end frame.
