Abstract

This disclosure provides methods, components, devices, and systems for robust wireless link structures. For example, A first wireless communication device may transmit, via multiple first slots of a frame, first data to a second wireless communication device. The frame may include a fixed slot sequence having the first slots followed by a second slot. The first slots may have a first communication direction and the second slot has a second communication direction opposite the first communication direction. The first wireless communication device may receive, via the second slot of the frame, second data from the second wireless communication device. The second data may include feedback information for at least one slot of the first slots, and link control information may be absent from the second slot.

Claims (52)

1 . A first wireless communication device, comprising:

one or more memories;

a transceiver; and

one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories, the one or more processors individually or collectively configured to:

transmit, via the transceiver and using a plurality of first slots of a frame, first data to a second wireless communication device, wherein the frame comprises a fixed slot sequence having the plurality of first slots followed by a second slot, and wherein the plurality of first slots have a first communication direction and the second slot has a second communication direction opposite the first communication direction; and

receive, via the transceiver and using the second slot of the frame, second data from the second wireless communication device, wherein the second data comprises feedback information for at least one slot of the plurality of first slots, and wherein non-feedback link control information is absent from the second slot.

2 . The first wireless communication device of claim 1 , wherein:

the fixed slot sequence is configured in accordance with a ratio of a first quantity of first slots to a second quantity of second slots, and

the first quantity is greater than the second quantity.

3 . The first wireless communication device of claim 1 , wherein, to transmit the first data, the one or more processors are individually or collectively configured to:

transmit, via the transceiver, a first portion of link control information corresponding to the frame; and

refrain from transmitting resource reservation related link control information corresponding to the frame based at least in part on the frame being configured in accordance with the fixed slot sequence.

4 . The first wireless communication device of claim 1 , wherein the second data comprises second feedback information for at least a third slot of a second frame different than the frame.

5 . The first wireless communication device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are individually or collectively configured to:

transmit the first data using an adjustable bandwidth, and

receive the second data using a fixed bandwidth.

6 . The first wireless communication device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are individually or collectively configured to transmit the first data using a first bandwidth, and are further configured to:

transmit, via the transceiver and using a plurality of third slots of a second frame after the frame, third data using a second bandwidth different than the first bandwidth based at least in part on one or more channel conditions.

7 . The first wireless communication device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are individually or collectively configured to transmit the first data using a first modulation scheme, and are further configured to:

transmit, via the transceiver and using a plurality of third slots of a second frame after the frame, third data using a second modulation scheme different than the first modulation scheme based at least in part on one or more channel conditions.

8 . The first wireless communication device of claim 1 , wherein the first wireless communication device comprises a drone and the second wireless communication device comprises a base device that controls the drone.

9 . A second wireless communication device, comprising:

one or more memories storing processor-executable code;

a transceiver; and

one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and individually or collectively configured to:

receive, via the transceiver and using a plurality of first slots of a frame, first data from a first wireless communication device, wherein the frame comprises a fixed slot sequence having the plurality of first slots followed by a second slot, and wherein the plurality of first slots have a first communication direction and the second slot has a second communication direction opposite the first communication direction; and

transmit, via the transceiver and using the second slot of the frame, second data to the first wireless communication device, wherein the second data comprises feedback information for at least one slot of the plurality of first slots, and wherein link control information is absent from the second slot.

10 . The second wireless communication device of claim 9 , wherein:

the fixed slot sequence is configured in accordance with a ratio of a first quantity of first slots to a second quantity of second slots, and

the first quantity is greater than the second quantity.

11 . The second wireless communication device of claim 9 , wherein, to receive the first data, the one or more processors are individually or collectively configured to:

receive, via the transceiver, a first portion of link control information corresponding to the frame.

12 . The second wireless communication device of claim 9 , wherein the second data comprises second feedback information for at least a third slot of a second frame different than the frame.

13 . The second wireless communication device of claim 9 , wherein the one or more processors are individually or collectively configured to:

receive the first data using an adjustable bandwidth, and

transmit the second data using a fixed bandwidth.

14 . The second wireless communication device of claim 9 , wherein the one or more processors are individually or collectively configured to receive the first data using a first bandwidth, and are further configured to:

receive, via the transceiver and using a plurality of third slots of a second frame after the frame, third data using a second bandwidth different than the first bandwidth based at least in part on one or more channel conditions.

15 . The second wireless communication device of claim 9 , wherein the one or more processors are individually or collectively configured to receive the first data using a first modulation scheme, and are further configured to:

receive, via the transceiver and using a plurality of third slots of a second frame after the frame, third data using a second modulation scheme different than the first modulation scheme based at least in part on one or more channel conditions.

16 . The second wireless communication device of claim 9 , wherein:

the second wireless communication device comprises a base device that controls the first wireless communication device, and

the first wireless communication device comprises a drone.

17 . A method for wireless communications by a first wireless communication device, comprising:

transmitting, via a plurality of first slots of a frame, first data to a second wireless communication device, wherein the frame comprises a fixed slot sequence having the plurality of first slots followed by a second slot, and wherein the plurality of first slots have a first communication direction and the second slot has a second communication direction opposite the first communication direction; and

receiving, via the second slot of the frame, second data from the second wireless communication device, wherein the second data comprises feedback information for at least one slot of the plurality of first slots, and wherein link control information is absent from the second slot.

18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein:

the fixed slot sequence is configured in accordance with a ratio of a first quantity of first slots to a second quantity of second slots, and

the first quantity is greater than the second quantity.

19 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the second data comprises second feedback information for at least a third slot of a second frame different than the frame.
