Abstract

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to an enhanced multiple input multiple output (MIMO) preamble frame. A device may determine a MIMO frame including a first section and a second section. The device may generate an enhanced MIMO frame including at least in part a modified first section and the second section of the MIMO frame. The device may determine a first stream and a second stream associated with at least one antenna of the device. The device may cause to send the enhanced MIMO frame to one or more first devices on the first stream. The device may cause to send the MIMO frame to the one or more first devices on the second stream.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A device for transmission of one or more enhanced directional multi-gigabit (EDMG) physical layer protocol data units (PPDUs), the device comprising storage and processing circuitry, the processing circuitry coupled to storage, the processing circuitry configured to:
determine an EDMG PPDU comprising a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion, wherein the first portion is a pre-EDMG portion, the second portion is an EDMG preamble, and the third portion comprises a least in part a data field and a training field;
apply a plurality of cyclic time shifts to a plurality of transmit chains, wherein a first cyclic time shift is applied to the first portion of the EDMG PPDU, and wherein
a second cyclic time shift is applied to the first portion of the EDMG PPDU, wherein the second cyclic time shift is a predetermined multiple of the first cyclic time shift, wherein the predetermined multiple is associated with a number of the plurality of transmit chains;
cause to send the EDMG PPDU with the first portion having the first cyclic time shift to one or more station devices on a first transmit of the plurality of transmit chains; and
cause to send the EDMG PPDU with the first portion having the second cyclic time shift to one or more station devices on a second transmit chain of the plurality of transmit chains.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first cyclic time shift is associated with the first transmit chain.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the second cyclic time shift is associated with the second transmit chain.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the second portion comprises an EDMG-short training field (EDMG-STF), an EDMG-channel estimation field (EDMG-CEF), and an EDMG-Header-B.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first portion includes at least in part a legacy short training field (L-STF), a legacy channel estimation field (L-CEF), a legacy header (L-Header), or an EDMG-Header-A.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the L-STF is comprised at least in part of Golay sequences.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first cyclic time shift is based on a chip time duration.

8. The device of claim 1 , further comprising a transceiver configured to cause the transmission and reception wireless signals.

9. The device of claim 8 , further comprising an antenna coupled to the transceiver cause to send the EDMG PPDU.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which when executed by one or more processors result in performing operations comprising:
determine an EDMG PPDU comprising a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion, wherein the first portion is a pre-EDMG portion, the second portion is an EDMG preamble, and the third portion comprises a least in part a data field and a training field;
apply a plurality of cyclic time shifts to a plurality of transmit chains, wherein a first cyclic time shift is applied to the first portion of the EDMG PPDU, and wherein
a second cyclic time shift is applied to the first portion of the EDMG PPDU, wherein the second cyclic time shift is a predetermined multiple of the first cyclic time shift, wherein the predetermined multiple is associated with a number of the plurality of transmit chains;
cause to send the EDMG PPDU with the first portion having the first cyclic time shift to one or more station devices on a first transmit chain of the plurality of transmit chains; and
cause to send the EDMG PPDU with the first portion having the second cyclic time shift to one or more station devices on a second transmit chain of the plurality of transmit chains.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the first cyclic time shift is associated with the first transmit chain.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the first portion includes at least in part a legacy short training field (L-STF), a legacy channel estimation field (L-CEF), a legacy header (L-Header), or an EDMG header (EDMG-Header-A).

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the second portion comprises an EDMG-short training field (EDMG-STF), an EDMG-channel estimation field (EDMG-CEF), and an EDMG-Header-B.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the first cyclic time shift is based on a chip time duration.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the second cyclic time shift is associated with the second transmit chain.

16. A method comprising:
determining, by one or more processors, an EDMG PPDU comprising a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion, wherein the first portion is a pre-EDMG portion, the second portion is an EDMG preamble, and the third portion comprises a least in part a data field and a training field;
apply a plurality of cyclic time shifts to a plurality of transmit chains, wherein a first cyclic time shift is applied to the first portion of the EDMG PPDU, and wherein
a second cyclic time shift is applied to the first portion of the EDMG PPDU, wherein the second cyclic time shift is a predetermined multiple of the first cyclic time shift, wherein the predetermined multiple is associated with a number of the plurality of transmit chains;
causing to send the EDMG PPDU with the first portion having the first cyclic time shift to one or more station devices on a first transmit chain of the plurality of transmit chains; and
causing to send the EDMG PPDU with the first portion having the second cyclic time shift to one or more station devices on a second transmit chain of the plurality of transmit chains.
