Abstract

A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) or access point (AP) may generate a protocol data unit (PDU) of a first 802.11 protocol and a preamble and data of a second 802.11 protocol. The preamble and data of the second 802.11 protocol may be arranged on resources of the PDU of the first 802.11 protocol with shaping sequences for concurrent transmission.

Claims (20)

1. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:

a processor configured to generate a protocol data unit (PDU) including a first preamble, a first 802.11 protocol preamble, and first 802.11 protocol data on one or more resource units (RUs) of a first 802.11 protocol and to generate a second 802.11 protocol preamble and second 802.11 protocol data on the one or more RUs, wherein the second 802.11 protocol preamble and the second 802.11 protocol data overlap in time with the first 802.11 protocol preamble; and

a transmitter configured to transmit the second 802.11 protocol preamble and the second 802.11 protocol data concurrently with the first preamble, the first 802.11 protocol preamble, and the first 802.11 protocol data, wherein one or more shaping sequences in a frequency domain are utilized for one or more on-off keying (OOK) symbols to transmit the second 802.11 protocol preamble and the second 802.11 protocol data.

2. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the second 802.11 protocol preamble and the second 802.11 protocol data are arranged by the WTRU without overlap in time with the first 802.11 protocol preamble.

3. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the second 802.11 protocol preamble and the second 802.11 protocol data are arranged by the WTRU completely within the one or more RUs of the first 802.11 protocol.

4. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the first preamble, the first 802.11 protocol preamble, and the first 802.11 protocol data are part of an 802.11ax physical layer convergence procedure (PLCP) PDU (PPDU).

5. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the first 802.11 protocol is 802.11ax and the second 802.11 protocol data is 802.11ba.

6. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine shaping sequences such that a time domain response of OOK symbols of the second 802.11 protocol data after an inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT) does not overlap with an 802.11ax orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol duration.

7. The WTRU of claim 6 , wherein a subset of the shaping sequences is a based on the second 802.11 protocol data or OOK symbols related to the second 802.11 protocol data.

8. The WTRU of claim 1 , the processor is further configured to blank OOK symbols associated with the second 802.11 protocol preamble and the second 802.11 protocol data during a cyclic prefix (CP) portion of the transmission of the first 802.11 protocol preamble and the first 802.11 protocol data.

9. A method performed by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:

generating, by the WTRU, a protocol data unit (PDU) including a first preamble, a first 802.11 protocol preamble, and first 802.11 protocol data on one or more resource units (RUs) of a first 802.11 protocol and to generate a second 802.11 protocol preamble and second 802.11 protocol data on the one or more RUs, wherein the second 802.11 protocol preamble and the second 802.11 protocol data overlap in time with the first 802.11 protocol preamble; and

transmitting, by the WTRU, the second 802.11 protocol preamble and the second 802.11 protocol data concurrently with the first preamble, the first 802.11 protocol preamble, and the first 802.11 protocol data, wherein one or more shaping sequences in a frequency domain are utilized for one or more on-off keying (OOK) symbols to transmit the second 802.11 protocol preamble and the second 802.11 protocol data.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the second 802.11 protocol preamble and the second 802.11 protocol data are arranged by the WTRU without overlap in time with the first 802.11 protocol preamble.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the second 802.11 protocol preamble and the second 802.11 protocol data are arranged by the WTRU completely within the one or more RUs of the first 802.11 protocol.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first preamble, the first 802.11 protocol preamble, and the first 802.11 protocol data are part of an 802.11ax physical layer convergence procedure (PLCP) PDU (PPDU).

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first 802.11 protocol is 802.11ax and the second 802.11 protocol data is 802.11ba.

14. The method of claim 9 , further comprising the WTRU determining shaping sequences such that a time domain response of OOK symbols of the second 802.11 protocol data after an inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT) does not overlap with an 802.11ax orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol duration.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein a subset of the shaping sequences is a based on the second 802.11 protocol data or OOK symbols related to the second 802.11 protocol data.

16. The method of claim 9 , further comprising the WTRU blanking OOK symbols associated with the second 802.11 protocol preamble and the second 802.11 protocol data during a cyclic prefix (CP) portion of the transmission of the first 802.11 protocol preamble and the first 802.11 protocol data.
