Abstract

An access point may include a processing device configured to: identify a puncturing pattern for a channel width of a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) of a transmit signal; compute one or more tone rotation patterns using one or more tone rotation pattern parameters; and select a tone rotation pattern of the one or more tone rotation patterns based on the puncturing pattern for the channel width to minimize a peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmit signal. The access point may include a transceiver configured to transmit the transmit signal to a wireless device based on the tone rotation pattern.

Claims (54)

1 . An access point, comprising:

a processing device configured to:

identify a puncturing pattern for a channel width of a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) of a transmit signal;

compute one or more tone rotation patterns using one or more tone rotation pattern parameters;

compute a selection matrix based on the puncturing pattern; and

select a tone rotation pattern of the one or more tone rotation patterns based on the selection matrix to minimize a peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmit signal;

a transceiver configured to transmit the transmit signal to a wireless device based on the tone rotation pattern.

2 . The access point of claim 1 , wherein the processing device is further configured to:

minimize the PAPR of the transmit signal based on the selection matrix and the one or more tone rotation pattern parameters.

3 . The access point of claim 1 , wherein the processing device is further configured to:

compute, using a projection of the one or more tone rotation patterns on the selection matrix, one or more projection vectors for one or more tone rotation patterns based on the puncturing pattern.

4 . The access point of claim 1 , wherein the one or more tone rotation pattern parameters are based on an 80 MHz sub-block rotation coefficient.

5 . The access point of claim 1 , wherein the processing device is further configured to:

determine maximum values for one or more projection vectors;

determine minimized maximum values for the one or more projection vectors; and

select a tone rotation based on the minimized maximum values.

6 . The access point of claim 1 , wherein the processing device is further configured to update the tone rotation pattern based on one or more of:

receiving an updated puncturing pattern,

a random variable, or

a selected interval.

7 . The access point of claim 1 , wherein one or more of:

the access point is configured to transmit using one or more of extremely high throughput (EHT) or non-high-throughput (HT) transmission, or

the PPDU comprises one or more modulated fields comprising one or more of: legacy short training field (L-STF), legacy long training field (L-LTF), legacy signal field (L-SIG), repeated L-SIG (RL-SIG), universal signal field (U-SIG), EHT-SIG, or

the channel width is 320 MHZ, or

the tone rotation pattern is a phase rotation pattern, or

the transmit signal is transmitted as a duplicate transmission, or

the transmit signal is transmitted using multi-user orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA).

8 . A station (STA), comprising:

a processing device configured to:

identify a puncturing pattern for a channel width of a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) of a transmit signal;

compute one or more tone rotation patterns using one or more tone rotation pattern parameters;

compute a selection matrix based on the puncturing pattern; and

select a tone rotation pattern based on the selection matrix to minimize a peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmit signal;

a transceiver configured to transmit the transmit signal to a wireless device based on the tone rotation pattern.

9 . The STA of claim 8 , wherein the processing device is further configured to:

minimize the PAPR of the transmit signal based on the selection matrix and the one or more tone rotation pattern parameters.

10 . The STA of claim 8 , wherein the processing device is further configured to:

compute, using a projection of the one or more tone rotation patterns on the selection matrix, one or more projection vectors for one or more tone rotation patterns based on the puncturing pattern.

11 . The STA of claim 8 , wherein the one or more tone rotation pattern parameters are based on an 80 MHz sub-block rotation coefficient.

12 . The STA of claim 8 , wherein the processing device is further configured to:

determine maximum values for one or more projection vectors;

determine minimized maximum values for the one or more projection vectors; and

select a tone rotation based on the minimized maximum values.

13 . The STA of claim 8 , wherein the processing device is further configured to update the tone rotation pattern based on one or more of:

receiving an updated puncturing pattern,

a random variable, or

a selected interval.

14 . The STA of claim 8 , wherein one or more of:

the STA is configured to transmit using one or more of extremely high throughput (EHT) or non-high-throughput (HT) transmission, or

the PPDU comprises one or more modulated fields comprising one or more of: legacy short training field (L-STF), legacy long training field (L-LTF), legacy signal field (L-SIG), repeated L-SIG (RL-SIG), universal signal field (U-SIG), EHT-SIG, or

the channel width is 320 MHz, or

the tone rotation pattern is a phase rotation pattern, or

the transmit signal is transmitted as a duplicate transmission, or

the transmit signal is transmitted using multi-user orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA).
