Abstract:
A mixed data unit for use in a wireless network may include a first portion having information that is coded over a single frequency channel and a second portion having information that is coded across multiple frequency channels. In at least one embodiment, the first portion includes duration related information that may be used by legacy client devices within the network to determine a duration for which the legacy device is to remain quiet to avoid packet collisions in the network.

Abstract:
A received communication signal in which input data has been differentially encoded using a number of nominal symbols is filtered according to variable filter coefficients. A symbol is predicted based on the filtered signal, as if the input data had been encoded non-differentially in the communication signal. The filter coefficients are updated in response to the predicted symbol. An example of the differential encoding is differential phase shift keying (DPSK) modulation.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus are described. The method comprises generating a clock signal comprising regularly spaced clock-timing transitions between a signal high and a signal low to provide timing for a circuit coupled to the clock signal, and periodicity-disrupting transitions between the signal high and signal low, randomly inserted between the clock-timing transitions to disrupt a periodicity of the regularly spaced clock-timing transitions; and transmitting the clock signal to the circuit.
Antenna Subsystem Calibration Apparatus And Methods In Spatial-Division Multiple-Access Systems
A wireless local area network (WLAN) includes an access point (AP), which provides communications channels to a plurality of stations. The AP supports spatial-division, multiple-access (SDMA) and accordingly includes a plurality of antenna subsystems. In order to achieve zero-forcing downlink beamforming, internal calibration procedures are occasionally performed within the AP. An internal calibration procedure includes an antenna subsystem transmitting a calibration signal. Received signals are measured at other antenna subsystems, and from these measurements, the transmit and receive chain gains are calculated for each antenna subsystem. One or more of these gains are adjusted to satisfy a primary condition, which is that the ratio of the transmit chain gain and the receive chain gain for all of the antenna subsystems are approximately equal (i. e. , all of these ratios are equal to a calibration constant).
