[0050] The following will describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0051] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application can be applied to various communication systems, such as Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN), Wireless Fidelity (WiFi), or other communication systems. WLANs may support frequency bands including, but not limited to, low frequency bands (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz) and high frequency bands (45 GHz and 60 GHz).

[0052] FIG1 is an example of a communication system architecture applied in an embodiment of the present application.

[0053] As shown in FIG1 , the communication system 100 may include an access point (AP) 110 and a station (STA) 120 that accesses the network through AP 110. In some scenarios, AP 110 may be referred to as an AP STA, meaning that, in a sense, AP 110 is also a type of STA. In some scenarios, STA 120 may be referred to as a non-AP STA. In some scenarios, STA 120 may include both AP STAs and non-AP STAs. Communication in the communication system 100 may include communication between AP 110 and STA 120, communication between STA 120 and STA 120, or communication between STA 120 and a peer STA. A peer STA may refer to a device communicating with STA 120, for example, a peer STA may be an AP or a non-AP STA.

[0054] AP 110 can be used as a bridge between wired and wireless networks, connecting wireless network clients together and then connecting the wireless network to Ethernet. AP 110 can be a terminal device (such as a mobile phone) or a network device (such as a router) equipped with a WiFi chip.

[0055] It should be noted that the role of STA 120 in the communication system is not absolute. In other words, the role of STA 120 in the communication system can switch between AP and STA. For example, in some scenarios, when a mobile phone is connected to a router, the mobile phone is a STA. When the mobile phone is used as a hotspot for other mobile phones, the mobile phone plays the role of AP.

[0056] In some embodiments, AP 110 and STA 120 can be devices used in the Internet of Vehicles, IoT nodes and sensors in the Internet of Things (IoT), smart cameras, smart remote controls, smart water and electricity meters in smart homes, and sensors in smart cities.

[0057] In some embodiments, AP 110 may be a device supporting the 802.11be standard. The AP may also be a device supporting various current and future 802.11 family WLAN standards, such as 802.11ax, 802.11ac, 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b, and 802.11a. In some embodiments, STA 120 may support the 802.11be standard. The STA may also support various current and future 802.11 family WLAN standards, such as 802.11ax, 802.11ac, 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b, and 802.11a.

[0058] In some embodiments, AP 110 and / or STA 120 can be deployed on land, including indoors or outdoors, handheld, wearable or vehicle-mounted; can also be deployed on the water surface (such as a ship); can also be deployed in the air (for example, on an airplane, balloon, and satellite, etc.).

[0059] In some embodiments, STA 120 may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a computer with wireless transceiver capabilities, a virtual reality (VR) device, an augmented reality (AR) device, a wireless device in industrial control, a set-top box, a wireless device in self-driving, an in-vehicle communication device, a wireless device in remote medical, a wireless device in a smart grid, a wireless device in transportation safety, a wireless device in a smart city or a wireless device in a smart home, an in-vehicle communication device, a wireless communication chip / application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) / system on chip (SoC), etc. that supports WLAN / WiFi technology.

[0060] Exemplarily, STA 120 may also be a wearable device. Wearable devices may also be referred to as wearable smart devices, which are a general term for wearable devices that are intelligently designed and developed using wearable technology for everyday wear, such as glasses, gloves, watches, clothing, and shoes. A wearable device is a portable device that is worn directly on the body or integrated into the user's clothing or accessories. Wearable devices are not just hardware devices, but also achieve powerful functions through software support, data interaction, and cloud interaction. In a broad sense, wearable smart devices include those that are fully functional, large in size, and can achieve complete or partial functions without relying on smartphones, such as smart watches or smart glasses, as well as those that only focus on a certain type of application function and need to be used in conjunction with other devices such as smartphones, such as various smart bracelets and smart jewelry for vital sign monitoring.

[0061] It should be understood that Figure 1 is merely an example of the present application and should not be construed as limiting the present application. For example, Figure 1 only exemplarily illustrates one AP and two STAs. In some embodiments, the communication system 100 may include multiple APs and other numbers of STAs, which are not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0062] FIG2A is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of an embodiment of the present application.

[0063] As shown in Figure 2A, communication system 200 may include AP Multi-Link Devices (MLDs) 210 and non-AP MLDs 220. AP MLDs 210 are electronic devices capable of forming a wireless local area network 230 based on transmitted signals, such as routers and mobile phones with hotspot functionality. Non-AP MLDs 220 are electronic devices connected to the wireless local area network 230 formed by AP MLDs 210, such as mobile phones, smart washing machines, air conditioners, and electronic locks. Non-AP MLDs 220 communicate with AP MLDs 210 via the wireless local area network 230. AP MLDs 210 may be soft AP MLDs, mobile AP MLDs, or other devices.

[0064] As shown in FIG2B , in the communication system described in FIG2A , AP MLD 210 is affiliated with at least two APs 2101, and non-AP MLD 220 is affiliated with at least two STAs (STAs) 2201. Each AP is connected to a different STA in non-AP MLD 220 via a different link. An AP affiliated with an AP MLD may also be referred to as an AP affiliated with an AP MLD, and a STA affiliated with a non-AP MLD may also be referred to as a non-AP STA affiliated with a non-AP MLD or a STA affiliated with a non-AP MLD.

[0065] In the embodiments of the present application, the AP MLD 210 and the non-AP MLD 220 may be terminal devices, which may refer to access terminals, user equipment (UE), subscriber units, subscriber stations, mobile stations, mobile stations, remote stations, remote terminals, mobile devices, user terminals, terminals, wireless communication devices, user agents, or user devices. Access terminals may be cellular phones, cordless phones, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phones, Wireless Local Loop (WLL) stations, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), handheld devices with wireless communication capabilities, computing devices or other processing devices connected to wireless modems, in-vehicle devices, wearable devices, terminal devices in 5th generation (5G) networks, or terminal devices in future Public Land Mobile Networks (PLMNs), etc.

[0066] The communication system 200 shown in Figure 2A may also include a network device, which may be an access network device that communicates with a terminal device. The access network device may provide communication coverage for a specific geographical area and may communicate with terminal devices within the coverage area.

[0067] FIG2A exemplarily shows an AP MLD and a non-AP MLD. Optionally, the communication system 200 may include multiple non-AP MLDs connected to the wireless local area network 230 , which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0068] It should be noted that Figures 1, 2A, and 2B are merely examples of the systems to which this application applies. Of course, the methods described in the embodiments of this application can also be applied to other systems. Furthermore, the terms "system" and "network" are often used interchangeably herein. The term "and / or" herein simply describes an association relationship between associated objects, indicating that three possible relationships can exist. For example, "A and / or B" can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, or B exists alone. Furthermore, the character " / " herein generally indicates that the associated objects are in an "or" relationship. It should also be understood that the "indication" mentioned in the embodiments of this application can be a direct indication, an indirect indication, or an indication of an associated relationship. For example, "A indicates B" can mean that A directly indicates B, for example, B can obtain information through A; it can also mean that A indirectly indicates B, for example, A indicates C, and B can obtain information through C; it can also mean that A and B have an associated relationship. It should also be understood that the “correspondence” mentioned in the embodiments of the present application may indicate a direct or indirect correspondence between the two, or an association relationship between the two, or a relationship between indication and being indicated, configuration and being configured, etc. It should also be understood that the “predefined” or “predefined rules” mentioned in the embodiments of the present application can be implemented by pre-saving corresponding codes, tables or other methods that can be used to indicate relevant information in devices (for example, including terminal devices and network devices), and the present application does not limit its specific implementation method. For example, predefined can refer to what is defined in the protocol. It should also be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, the “protocol” may refer to a standard protocol in the field of communications, for example, it may include IEEE 802.11 protocol, LTE protocol, NR protocol and related protocols used in future communication systems, and the present application does not limit this.

[0069] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions of the present application are described in detail below through specific embodiments. The above related technologies can be combined arbitrarily with the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application as optional solutions, and all of them fall within the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present application. The embodiments of the present application include at least part of the following contents.

[0070] An embodiment of the present application provides a wireless communication method, which is applied to a station, as shown in FIG3 , including:

[0071] S301: A station receives a non-triggered detection frame sent by an access point.

[0072] S302: The station adjusts a compressed beamforming feedback CBF based on a first matrix, where the CBF is used to respond to the non-triggered sounding frame, and the first matrix is ​​used to control a ratio between signal-to-noise ratios of two spatial streams of the CBF.

[0073] S303: The station sends the adjusted CBF to the access point.

[0074] An embodiment of the present application provides a wireless communication method, which is applied to an access point, as shown in FIG4 , including:

[0075] S401: An access point sends a non-triggered detection frame to a station.

[0076] S402: The access point receives a compressed beamforming feedback CBF sent by the station and adjusted based on a first matrix, where the CBF is used to respond to the non-triggered sounding frame, and the first matrix is ​​used to control a ratio between signal-to-noise ratios of two spatial streams of the CBF.

[0077] The wireless communication method shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. 4 is further described below.

[0078] AP can be understood as a beamformer (BFer), and STA can be understood as a beamforming receiver (BFee).

[0079] BFer sends a non-triggered detection frame to BFee. After receiving the non-triggered detection frame, BFee adjusts the CBF based on the first matrix R to obtain an adjusted CBF and feeds the adjusted CBF back to BFer.

[0080] The CBF sent by BFee can be understood as a single-user (SU) CBF.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, CBF can be the beamforming feedback matrix V BF , the adjusted CBF, i.e. the optimized CBF, can be expressed as equation (1): V rot =V BF *R equation (1);

[0082] Among them, V rot is the adjusted CBF.

[0083] In this embodiment of the present application, the first matrix may be referred to as a rotation matrix and is used to allocate power between the two spatial streams of the CBF, thereby controlling the signal-to-noise ratio ratio of the two spatial streams. The signal-to-noise ratio ratio of the two spatial streams can be understood as the interval between the different average signal-to-noise ratios of different spatial streams at the receiving end. Different spatial streams will have different posterior signal-to-noise ratios (postSNRs) at the receiving end.

[0084] In an embodiment of the present application, the station adjusts the CBF using the first matrix and sends the adjusted CBF to the access point. The CBF received by the access point is the CBF adjusted based on the first matrix, thereby controlling the ratio between the signal-to-noise ratios of the two spatial streams of the CBF through the first matrix to improve performance.

[0085] In some embodiments, the value range of the elements in the first matrix is ​​-1 to 1.

[0086] In some embodiments, the first matrix is ​​determined based on a first parameter, which is predefined or determined by the site.

[0087] The first matrix can be expressed as Among them, the first parameter is θ.

[0088] If θ = 45 degrees, then If θ = 0 degrees, then Make V rot =V BF .

[0089] In the embodiment of the present application, given the estimated channel H, the current feedback beamforming matrix V is obtained based on the singular value decomposition (SVD) BF It can be expressed as equation (2): SVD(H)→V BF =[V1 V2] Equation (2);

[0090] by For example, based on V rot , the posterior signal-to-noise ratio (post SNR) of the first spatial stream can be expressed as:

[0091] The post SNR of the second spatial stream can be expressed as equation (4):

[0092] According to equations (3) and (4), we can determine that: the first matrix pair V BF Power is allocated to the two spatial streams of , and the ratio between the signal-to-noise ratios of the two spatial streams is controlled by θ.

[0093] In some embodiments, if the first parameter is determined by the station, the wireless communication method shown in FIG3 further includes:

[0094] The station sends the first parameter to the access point, where the first parameter is used by the access point to determine a beamforming matrix.

[0095] For the access point, if the first parameter is determined by the station, the wireless communication method shown in FIG4 further includes:

[0096] The access point receives the first parameter sent by the station, where the first parameter is used by the access point to determine a beamforming matrix.

[0097] BFee can send θ to BFer, so that BFer knows θ.

[0098] Since BFer also knows θ, BFer can inverse Equation (1) to derive V optimized for single stream beamforming: BF The BFer will then receive beamforming feedback optimized for both single and multiple streams. The BFer can choose the best fit based on the decision of its own rate adaptation algorithm.

[0099] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0100] The station receives beamforming data sent by the access point, where the number of spatial streams of the beamforming data is a first number.

[0101] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0102] The access point sends beamforming data to the station, where the number of spatial streams of the beamforming data is a first number.

[0103] The first data is beamformed (Bfed) data sent by the access point based on beamforming feedback, that is, the first data is beamformed (Bfed) data transmitted based on the number of spatial streams of the received CBF.

[0104] The BFer will transmit beamformed (BFed) data based on the number of spatial streams fed back by the BFee, however, the BFed data transmission is rate-adaptive based on the BFer, i.e., depends on the decision of the BFer.

[0105] Optionally, the first number is 1 or 2.

[0106] In some embodiments, the first number is determined in one of the following ways:

[0107] Option 1: The first number is determined by a second parameter indicated by the access point to the station;

[0108] Option 2: The first number is indicated by the CBF sent by the station to the access point.

[0109] Option 3: The first number is the number of spatial streams used for the preferred feedback selected from multiple CBF candidates, and the number of spatial streams for different CBF candidates is different.

[0110] For option 1, the BFer sends a second parameter to the BFee to indicate a first number, where the first number is the preferred number of columns of the BFer. The BFee determines the first number based on the received second parameter.

[0111] Optionally, the second parameter is a column number parameter (Nc). In this case, the column number parameter (Nc) indicates a preferred column number of BFer.

[0112] The preferred number of columns may alternatively be described as the preferred number of streams or the preferred number of spatial streams.

[0113] In some embodiments, the second parameter is carried in a Null Data Packet Notification (NDPA) frame sent by the access point to the station.

[0114] Optionally, in the NDPA frame sent by the BFer, the column number parameter (Nc) in the user information field of the NDPA (addressed to the BFee) should indicate the preferred column number of the BFer.

[0115] For option 2, BFee indicates the preferred number of columns.

[0116] Optionally, if BFer does not indicate the preferred number of columns (Nc), then BFee should indicate the preferred number of columns.

[0117] Optionally, the BFee indicates the preferred number of spatial streams in the Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) control field of the CBF.

[0118] In option 2, BFer is recommended to use a specific number of streams to transmit BFed data, where BFee optimizes this number in CBF.

[0119] In some embodiments, the spatial stream data of the CBF is the first number.

[0120] In the case of option 1, BFee optimizes CBF based on the preferred number of columns indicated by BFer. In this case, option 1 requires BFee to optimize CBF based on the preferred number of flows indicated by BFer.

[0121] In the case of option 2, BFee indicates the preferred column number, which is also the number of spatial streams in the SU CBF frame optimized by BFee. After receiving the SU CBF, the BFer should transmit BFed data using the number of spatial streams indicated in the MIMO control field of the SU CBF frame.

[0122] In option 3, based on the number of spatial streams supported by BFee, BFee feeds back multiple SU CBF candidates, i.e., CBF candidates. BFer can select the AP's preferred CBF based on its own rate adaptation. Different CBF candidates have different numbers of spatial streams.

[0123] In one example, the BFee has two antennas. The BFee will feed back the SU compressed BFing matrix optimized for one spatial stream and the SU compressed BFing matrix optimized for two spatial streams. The BFer can choose to use the AP-preferred feedback based on its own rate adaptation.

[0124] It is understandable that the CBF candidate may also be alternatively described as a feedback candidate.

[0125] In some embodiments, CBF candidates for different numbers of spatial streams may be carried in one or more action frames.

[0126] In some embodiments, the action frame carrying the CBF candidate also carries the number of spatial streams of the CBF candidate.

[0127] Optionally, the number of CBF candidates should be indicated in the MIMO Control field in the Action frame used to carry feedback.

[0128] In one example, the Feedback Type (bits (B) 14 to B16) of the MIMO Control field in an Action Frame has a reserved value that can be used to indicate multiple CBF candidates. A Feedback Type value of 0 indicates SU, a Feedback Type value of 1 indicates MU, a Feedback Type value of 2 indicates CQI, and a Feedback Type value of 3 indicates a reserved value.

[0129] An embodiment of the present application provides a wireless communication method, which is applied to a station, as shown in FIG5 , including:

[0130] S501. The station indicates the highest modulation and coding scheme (MCS) in the high throughput HT control field.

[0131] S502: The station sends a first message to the access point, where the first message includes the HT control field.

[0132] An embodiment of the present application provides a wireless communication method, which is applied to a station, as shown in FIG6 , including:

[0133] S601: An access point receives a first message sent by a station, where the first message includes an HT control field indicating a maximum modulation and coding strategy (MCS).

[0134] It should be noted that the wireless communication method shown in FIG. 5 and / or FIG. 6 may be independent of the wireless communication method shown in FIG. 3 and / or FIG. 4 , or may be implemented together with the wireless communication method shown in FIG. 3 and / or FIG. 4 .

[0135] The wireless communication method shown in FIG. 5 or FIG. 6 is further described below.

[0136] The AP can be understood as a transmitter and the STA can be understood as a receiver.

[0137] The transmitter receives the highest MCS (highest MCS) that the transmitter can support and reported by the receiver based on the HT Control field, thereby notifying the transmitter of the highest MCS that the receiver can support based on the HT Control field.

[0138] The highest MCS can also be alternatively described as the maximum MCS.

[0139] Alternatively, the HT Control field may be included in a Quality of Service (QoS) frame or a QoS Null frame.

[0140] The wireless communication method provided in the embodiment of the present application can enable timely changes in the maximum supported MCS to quickly adapt to adjacent channel interference (ACI) scenarios.

[0141] In some embodiments, the highest MCS is indicated by the first field in a HE variant of an A control field in the HT control field.

[0142] In some embodiments, the first field is an EHT Operation Mode (OM) control subfield or a defined control information subfield.

[0143] The EHTOM control subfield is an existing field in the HE variant.

[0144] The defined control information subfield is a newly added field in the HE variant.

[0145] If the first field is the EHT OM control subfield, the purpose of indicating the highest MCS is added to the purpose of the EHT OM control subfield.

[0146] If the first field is a control information subfield, a new control information subfield is added to the HE variant of the HT control field to indicate the maximum supported MCS.

[0147] In some embodiments, the highest MCS is indicated by a reserved field in the EHT OM Control subfield.

[0148] The reserved field of the EHT OM control subfield is the reserved bits (B3 to B5). Optionally, some or all of the reserved bits included in the reserved field are used to indicate the highest MCS.

[0149] In one example, one or two reserved bits are used to indicate the highest MCS.

[0150] In the case where the highest MCS is indicated by a reserved field in the EHT OM Control subfield, the purpose of the reserved bit is changed to indicate the highest MCS.

[0151] In some embodiments, in the A control field, a control flag whose value is a reserved value is used to indicate the control information subfield defined in the HE variant.

[0152] When the value of the control flag in the A control field is a reserved value, the control flag is used to indicate that a control information subfield is added in the HE variant.

[0153] In the case of the HE variant where a control information field is added, the control information field indicates the highest MCS that the transmitter can support.

[0154] Optionally, the reserved value of the control flag is one of 10 to 14.

[0155] In one example, when the value of the control flag is 10, the control flag is used to indicate that a control information subfield is added in the HE variant.

[0156] In the wireless communication method provided in an embodiment of the present application, the device category of the site is the first category or the second category, wherein the devices of the first category only support a bandwidth of 20 MHz, and the devices of the second category support a bandwidth greater than or equal to 80 MHz.

[0157] Sites can be described as WiFi devices, which are categorized based on their capabilities. WiFi devices are categorized into Category 1 and Category 2. Category 1 devices support a bandwidth of 20 MHz, while Category 2 devices support a bandwidth greater than or equal to 80 MHz.

[0158] In the embodiment of the present application, the first category of devices can be described as 20 MHz-only devices.

[0159] In some embodiments, the capabilities of the first category of devices further include one or more of the following: the number of supported spatial streams is greater than or equal to 1, and the supported MCS is greater than or equal to MCS7.

[0160] In some embodiments, the capabilities of the second category of devices further include one or more of the following: the number of supported spatial streams is greater than or equal to 1, and the supported MCS is greater than or equal to MCS9.

[0161] In the embodiment of the present application, the first category of devices has a smaller supported bandwidth (BW), a smaller number of spatial streams, and a highest MCS than the second category of devices.

[0162] In some embodiments, the first category of devices disables support for a first resource unit RU or support for the first RU and the second RU, where the first RU is an RU containing 26 subcarriers and the second RU is an RU containing 52 subcarriers.

[0163] The first RU can be described as a 26-tone RU. Similarly, the second RU can be described as a 52-tone RU. The RUs involved in the embodiments of the present application also include: a 106-tone RU, which includes 106 subcarriers, and a 242-tone RU, which includes 242 subcarriers.

[0164] For Category 1 devices that disable support for 26-tone RU, only support for 52-tone RU, 106-tone RU, and 242-tone RU remains.

[0165] For Category 1 devices that disable support for 26-tone RU and 52-tone RU, only support for 106-tone and 242-tone RU is retained.

[0166] The first category of devices in the embodiments of the present application support a smaller number of resource unit combinations in a 20 MHz sub-channel, which can reduce the number of entries for RU allocation indication.

[0167] In some embodiments, the RU for which the first category of devices is allowed is indicated using a second number of bits, the second number being less than or equal to three.

[0168] In one example, in the signal field, for 106-tone, 52-tone, or 242-tone, only 1 bit, 2 bits, or 3 bits are used to indicate the location of the RU.

[0169] In one example, when only 106-tone RU and 242-tone RU are allowed, RU allocation uses 3 entries (2 bits) to indicate a lower 106-tone RU, an upper 106-tone RU, or a 242-tone RU.

[0170] In the embodiment of the present application, the RU allocation indication is simplified, and the complexity of parsing the RU allocation signal is significantly reduced.

[0171] In some embodiments, the first category of devices is prohibited from participating in the reception of wider bandwidth Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) physical layer protocol data units (PPDUs) and / or participating in the reception of wider bandwidth OFDM PPDUs.

[0172] In some embodiments, the first category of devices uses a 16 microsecond extension.

[0173] Optionally, Category 1 devices always use a packet extension of 16 microseconds (us), regardless of RU size and MCS.

[0174] In some embodiments, for devices of the first category, the forward error correction padding is filled with an integer number of OFDM symbols.

[0175] In Forward Error Correction (FEC) padding, always fill an integer number of OFDM symbols, not a quarter of the number of OFDM symbols. That is, always set a init,u =4.

[0176] In some embodiments, for the first category of devices, the Low Density Parity Check Code (LDPC) additional symbol is a complete additional OFDM symbol.

[0177] If LDPC extra symbols are needed in rate matching, always add a full extra OFDM symbol instead of a quarter OFDM symbol.

[0178] After adding a full extra OFDM symbol, the following equations (5) and (6) hold: N SYM =N SYM,init +1,a=4 Equation (6).

[0179] In the embodiment of the present application, the complete restriction on the additional OFDM symbols simplifies the LDPC rate matching process of the first category of devices.

[0180] In some embodiments, for a site, if the device category of the site is the first category, as shown in FIG7 , the method further includes:

[0181] S701: The station receives a first PPDU sent by the access point, where the first PPDU is used to extend range.

[0182] In some embodiments, for an access point, if the device category of the station is the first category, as shown in FIG8 , the method further includes:

[0183] S801: The access point sends a first PPDU to the station, where the first PPDU is used to extend range.

[0184] In some embodiments, in the preamble of the first PPDU:

[0185] The second OFDM symbol after the repeated long signalling field (RL-SIG) shall be QPSK modulated; and / or,

[0186] The long signaling field (L-SIG) and the universal signaling field (U-SIG) are repeated in the time domain.

[0187] The first PPDU may also be described as an extended range (ER) PPDU or a PPDU for extended range.

[0188] In the embodiments of the present application, a new PPDU format for extended range is defined. The preamble of the extended range PPDU includes the following features:

[0189] 1. The second OFDM symbol after the repeated legacy signal field (RL-SIG) should be quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulated to enable legacy devices to detect the PPDU as an extended range PPDU (ER PPDU);

[0190] 2. The L-SIG and U-SIG fields should be repeated several times in the time domain to achieve longer range.

[0191] In one example, the L-SIG is repeated four times (legacy signal field (L-SIG), RL-SIG, RL-SIG_1, RL-SIG_2), and the universal signal field (U-SIG) U-SIG field is also repeated through the RU-SIG field.

[0192] In one example, the second symbol after the RL-SIG is still Quadrature Binary Phase Shift Keying (QBPSK), while the structure of U-SIG-1, RU-SIG-1, U-SIG-2, and RU-SIG2 remains unchanged. Legacy devices can decode the U-SIG field and pass version-independent information to the MAC.

[0193] In some embodiments, the number of repetitions in the RU-SIG is predefined.

[0194] In some embodiments, the preamble of the first PPDU includes a defined second field, where the second field is used to indicate that the PPDU is the first PPDU.

[0195] The second field can be defined as a U-SIG and L-SIG enhancement field.

[0196] The addition of the second field in the extended-range PPDU can improve the performance of the station in identifying the extended-range PPDU.

[0197] In some embodiments, the second field includes a time-domain repetition version of the L-SIG and the U-SIG.

[0198] The second field includes time-domain repeated versions of the L-SIG and U-SIG, which can achieve combined gain and performance improvement in decoding or PPDU format detection.

[0199] It is understandable that in the embodiments of the present application, the following contents may be implemented separately or in combination with other contents:

[0200] Content 1, content related to the first matrix shown in Figures 3 and 4;

[0201] Content 2, the content indicating the highest MCS priority shown in Figures 5 and 6;

[0202] Content 3: Content related to device category.

[0203] The following further describes the wireless communication method provided in the embodiments of the present application.

[0204] Example 1

[0205] The trigger-free (TB) sounding sequence used to compress single-user (SU) beamforming feedback is shown in Figure 9:

[0206] The EHT beamformer (BFer) sends an EHT Null Data Packet announcement (NDPA) frame to the EHT beamformee (BFee) (to announce the start of beamforming). After a SIFS, it sends an EHT sounding NDP frame to the beamformee. The EHT beamformee sends EHT compressed beamforming (Comressed Beamforming) or channel quality indicator (CQI) to the EHT beamformer.

[0207] In the NADP frame of the non-triggered sounding process, the BFer does not specify how many spatial streams the BFee should feedback, that is, it does not specify the parameter Nc (which indicates the number of spatial streams, i.e., the number of columns in the beamforming (Bfing) matrix in the SU compressed beamforming feedback (CBF) to be fed back). Instead, the BFer leaves the flexibility to the BFee. Each column in the feedback matrix corresponds to a spatial stream.

[0208] As an example, for a BFee with two antennas, the BFee can choose to feed back one or two spatial streams based on its decision. The BFer will then transmit beamformed (BFed) data based on the number of spatial streams fed back by the BFee. However, the BFed data transmission rate is adaptive based on the BFer's decision, i.e., it depends on the BFer's decision.

[0209] The above solution has the following two problems:

[0210] Question 1

[0211] If BFee has more than one antenna, the eigenvalues ​​(corresponding to each stream) related to the posterior signal-to-noise ratio (postSNR) and the feedback to BFer will be different for multiple streams. This means that different spatial streams will have different postSNRs at the receiver.

[0212] The gap between the SNRs of two spatial streams is defined as equation (7): SNR_Avr_gap=Average SNR_SS1 / Average SNR_SS2 (in dB) Equation (7);

[0213] Figure 10 shows the distribution of the spacing between the average SNRs of two spatial streams in compressed beamforming feedback, where 1101 corresponds to a 2x2 channel, 1102 corresponds to a 2x4 channel, 1103 corresponds to a 2x8 channel, 1104 corresponds to a 2x16 channel, 1105 corresponds to a 2x16 channel with 2 lambda receive, and 1106 corresponds to a 2x16 channel with 2 lambda transmit. Based on Figure 10 , it can be observed that for a 2x4 channel, the 50% spacing value is approximately 7.5 dB. Given that current Wi-Fi standards use a single modulation and coding scheme (MCS) across multiple spatial streams, performance degradation is expected compared to adapting different MCSs to different streams.

[0214] Question 2

[0215] Based on the aforementioned background, it's clear that the BFer uses several spatial streams to transmit BFed data, and the number of spatial streams used by the BFed data doesn't match the number of streams in the SU compressed beamforming feedback from the BFee. For example, the BFee always uses two spatial streams for feedback, while the BFer may use only one stream for data transmission based on its own rate adaptation algorithm. Therefore, if the BFee optimizes compressed beamforming feedback for two spatial streams, but the BFer only uses one spatial stream for transmission, potential performance degradation can be expected.

[0216] Solution to problem one:

[0217] To avoid postSNR gap between two spatial streams when using a single MCS on multiple streams, it is proposed to change the compressed beamforming feedback of the two spatial streams. More than two streams are not within the scope of this disclosure.

[0218] Given the estimated channel H, as shown in equation (2), the current feedback beamforming matrix V is obtained based on singular value decomposition (SVD): BF : SVD(H)→V BF =[V1 V2] Equation (2);

[0219] The two vectors V1 and V2 in the feedback correspond to the two eigenvalues ​​of the estimated signal H.

[0220] It is recommended not to feed back V in equation (2) BF , V defined in BFee feedback equation (1) rot : V rot =V BF *R equation (1);

[0221] in, The value of θ is adjusted by BFee.

[0222] For example, if θ = 45 degrees, then If θ = 0 degrees, then Make V rot =V BF .

[0223] Based on the suggested feedback, the post SNR of the first spatial stream is:

[0224] The post SNR of the second spatial stream is:

[0225] From Equations 3 and 4, it can be observed that the rotation matrix R essentially distributes power across the two spatial streams, and the ratio between the signal-to-noise ratios of the two spatial streams is controlled by θ.

[0226] Table 1 shows a simulation demonstrating that the proposed feedback provides significant gains. Note that the simulation in Table 1 uses θ = 45 degrees as an example. Nss in Table 1 is the number of spatial streams.

[0227] Table 1. Performance gain of the proposed feedback scheme

[0228] Solution to Problem 2:

[0229] It is also verified that if the solution to Problem 1 is implemented to optimize SU compressed beamforming feedback, then if BFee feeds back two spatial streams but the AP chooses to transmit only one spatial stream by using the first column of the feedback matrix (i.e., the first column of Vrot), the performance degrades.

[0230] The present application embodiment proposes the following three options to solve this problem:

[0231] Option 1: In the NDPA frame sent by the BFer, the column number parameter (Nc) in the User Information field of the NDPA (addressed to the BFee) should indicate the preferred number of columns of the BFer. In addition, the BFee should use the same number of Nc in the MIMO Control field of the SU Compressed Beamforming Feedback frame.

[0232] This option requires BFee to optimize the SU compressed beamforming feedback based on the preferred number of streams indicated by BFer.

[0233] Option 2: If the BFer does not indicate the number of columns (Nc) in the user information field of the NDPA (addressed to the BFee), the BFee should indicate the preferred number of spatial streams (in the MIMO Control field), which is also the number of spatial streams in the BFee-optimized SU compressed beamforming feedback frame. After receiving the SU compressed beamforming feedback, the BFer should transmit BFed data using the number of spatial streams indicated in the MIMO Control field of the SU compressed beamforming feedback frame.

[0234] This option suggests that the BFer use a specific number of flows to transmit BFed data, where the BFee optimizes this number in the SU CBF.

[0235] Option 3: Based on the number of spatial streams supported by the BFee, the BFee feeds back multiple SU CBF candidates. For example, if the BFee has two antennas, the BFee feeds back a SU compressed BFing matrix optimized for one spatial stream and a SU compressed BFing matrix optimized for two spatial streams. The BFer can choose to use the AP's preferred feedback based on its own rate adaptation.

[0236] Feedback for different numbers of spatial streams can be carried in one or more action frames.

[0237] The number of feedback candidates should be indicated in the MIMO Control field of the Action Frame used to carry the feedback. Option 3 is illustrated using the EHT MIMO Control field shown in Figure 11 as an example. The Feedback Type field has a reserved value that can be used to indicate feedback of multiple candidates. Reserved bits (B14 to B16) can be used to indicate the number of candidates included in the feedback.

[0238] For SU, the value of the feedback type is set to 0; for MU, the value of the feedback type is set to 1; for CQI, the value of the feedback type is set to 2, and the value of the feedback type 3 is a reserved value.

[0239] Option 4: If the number of flows to be fed back by BFee is greater than 1, BFee optimizes the SU CBF based on equation (2). θ can be predefined, for example, setting θ = 45 degrees, or θ can be selected by BFee and fed back to BFer.

[0240] The BFer will directly obtain feedback optimized for multiple streams from the CBF. Since the BFer also knows θ, the BFer can inverse Equation 2 to derive V optimized for single stream beamforming. BF The BFer will then receive beamforming feedback optimized for both single and multiple streams. The BFer can choose the best fit based on the decision of its own rate adaptation algorithm.

[0241] In the wireless communication method provided in embodiment 1:

[0242] BFee receives non-triggered probe sequences from BFer;

[0243] BFee responds to received non-trigger based probe sequences, based on To adjust CBF, where the value of θ is determined by BFee;

[0244] BFee sends the adjusted CBF to BFer.

[0245] Example 2

[0246] In the related art, there is the problem of adjacent channel interference (ACI). As shown in Figure 12, the channel of interest 1303 represents the signal addressed to the receiver, which should be received and detected. ACI 1302 is any interference that cannot be filtered out by the wide analog filter 1301.

[0247] Taking WIFI transmission as an example, the receiving signals under ACI are ACI and WIFI.

[0248] WiFi devices typically report their capabilities, including the maximum supported modulation and coding scheme (MCS), during association with an access point (AP). This capability assessment does not consider ACI. For example, a mainstream station (STA) may support up to 1024QAM, or even up to 4096QAM. However, due to the presence of ACI, it is likely that the highest MCS cannot be achieved. ACI can have a random pattern in both the time and frequency domains, i.e., appearing and disappearing very quickly, randomly in time, and unpredictable in the frequency domain channel.

[0249] Based on these facts, the frame exchange overhead is large, so it is unreasonable to require STAs to negotiate the maximum MCS through the association or reassociation process. Compared with association or reassociation, operation mode (OM) control or extremely high throughput (EHT) OM control is sent more frequently.

[0250] Some existing work relies on AP link adaptation as a workaround. However, according to testing, the AP can improve throughput without knowing what is happening on the STA side. This means that if ACI disappears and reappears in a short period of time, similar AP adaptation using a high MCS to improve throughput may introduce a large number of retransmissions.

[0251] The embodiment of the present application notifies the transmitter of the highest MCS that the receiver can support based on the OM control field. Two options are proposed:

[0252] Option 1: The current EHT OM control subfield in the HE variant of the A control field (Acontrol) in the HT control field has three reserved bits (B3 to B5), as shown in Figure 13. This proposal is to change the use of the reserved bits to indicate the highest MCS, as shown in Figure 13.

[0253] Without loss of generality, examples of encoding of B3 to B5 are shown in Table 2. It should be noted that these three reserved bits do not have to be used up. One or two bits can be used to indicate the maximum MCS.

[0254] Table 2. Maximum MCS definition example

[0255] Among them, each MCS index actually corresponds to the physical transmission rate under a set of parameters.

[0256] Option 2: Add a new control information subfield to the HE variant of the High Throughput (HT) Control field to indicate the maximum supported MCS. Table 9-25 shows the current control information subfield. It is recommended to use one of the reserved control ID values ​​10-14 as the new control information subfield to indicate the maximum supported MCS.

[0257] For example, the Control ID encoding in the A-Control field is shown in Table 3. Based on Table 3, a new control information subfield is defined using reserved entry 10. The definition of these three bits can reuse the definition in Table 2.

[0258] Table 3. Control ID code definition example

[0259] As shown in Table 3, when the Control ID of the A-Control is 10, a new control information subfield is added to the HE variant of the HT control field.

[0260] Compared with reassociation, the benefit of using the HT Control field to carry information is that the HT Control field can be included in Quality of Service (QoS) frames and QoS Null frames, which can enable timely changes in the supported maximum MCS to quickly adapt to ACI scenarios.

[0261] In the wireless communication method provided in the second embodiment:

[0262] The receiving device indicates the highest modulation and coding strategy (MCS) in the high throughput (HT) control field;

[0263] The receiving device sends a first message to the sending device, where the (HT) control field of the first message includes the highest MCS.

[0264] Example 3

[0265] Low-cost devices (e.g., 20 MHz-only devices) could be another driving force behind the evolution of WiFi to the next generation. However, existing WiFi standard development focuses on optimization for wider bandwidths (e.g., >= 80 MHz). Devices operating only at 20 MHz are designed to coexist with devices operating at wider bandwidths. This disclosure proposes several aspects of optimizing 20 MHz-only devices.

[0266] 1. Based on the capabilities of WiFi devices, WiFi devices are classified. For example, two categories are defined, as shown in Table 4 below:

[0267] Table 4. Equipment classification examples

[0268] Category B has a smaller supported bandwidth (BW), number of spatial streams, and the highest modulation and coding strategy (MCS).

[0269] 2. Compared with devices with wider bandwidth, fewer resource unit (RU) combinations are supported in a 20 MHz sub-channel. In particular, the embodiments of the present application are applied to telecommunication devices with a signal bandwidth of 20 MHz.

[0270] Table 5 below is copied from the protocol and shows the RUs supported at 20 MHz.

[0271] Table 5. RU example

[0272] In some embodiments, the present application proposes:

[0273] 1) Disable support for 26-tone RU and only retain support for 52-tone RU, 106-tone RU, and 242-tone RU; or,

[0274] 2) Disable support for 26-tone RU and 52-tone RU, leaving only support for 106-tone and 242-tone RU.

[0275] Compared to other methods, the present disclosure reduces the number of entries used for RU allocation indication. For example, the second proposal simplifies the RU allocation indication. In the signal field, only one, two, or three bits are used to indicate the RU position for 106-tone, 52-tone, or 242-tone. For example, when only 106-tone RUs and 242-tone RUs are allowed, RU allocation uses three entries (two bits) to indicate the lower 106-tone RU, the upper 106-tone RU, or the 242-tone RU.

[0276] Among them, 26-tone RU can be understood as an RU including 26 subcarriers.

[0277] 3. In other embodiments, the present application proposes:

[0278] a. Prohibit 20MHz-only devices from participating in wider bandwidth Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) Physical Layer Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) reception; and / or

[0279] b. Optionally, support participation in wider bandwidth OFDMA PPDU reception.

[0280] This simplification significantly reduces the complexity of parsing the RU allocation signal compared to other approaches.

[0281] 4. In other embodiments, the embodiments of the present application recommend always using 16us packet extension regardless of RU size and MCS.

[0282] 5. In forward error correction (FEC) padding, it is recommended to always pad an integer number of OFDM symbols, rather than a quarter of the number of OFDM symbols. That is, always set a init,u =4, regardless of N excess,u ; Among them, a init,u It can be expressed as equation (8):

[0283] 6. If low-density parity check (LDPC) extra symbols are required in rate matching, always add a full extra OFDM symbol instead of a quarter OFDM symbol.

[0284] The following equations are proposed: Equation (9) and Equation (10).

[0285] For equation (9), use N cbps,u Replace N cbps,short,u , which ensures that the entire OFDM symbol is used instead of a quarter of an OFDM symbol.

[0286] Equation (10) needs to be changed to Equation (6) to ensure that the entire OFDM symbol is added as an additional OFDM symbol. SYM =N SYM,init +1,a=4 Equation (6).

[0287] These recommendations simplify the LDPC rate matching process for devices operating at only 20 MHz.

[0288] 7. In some other embodiments, a new PPDU format for extended range is defined. The preamble design of the extended range PPDU includes the following features:

[0289] The second OFDM symbol following the repeated L-SIG (RL-SIG) shall be quadrature phase-shift keying (Q-PSK) modulated to enable legacy devices to detect the PPDU as an extended range PPDU (ER PPDU);

[0290] The L-SIG and U-SIG fields should be repeated several times in the time domain to achieve longer range.

[0291] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 14, the L-SIG is repeated four times (L-SIG, RL-SIG, RL-SIG_1, RL-SIG_2), and the U-SIG field is also repeated through the RU-SIG field. In some cases, the number of repetitions in the RU-SIG is predefined.

[0292] As shown in Figure 14, the following fields are included: legacy short training field (L-SFT), legacy long training field (L-LFT), legacy signaling field (legacy signal field, L-SIG), repeated legacy signaling field (repeat legacy signal field, RL-SIG), RL-SIG_1, RL-SIG_2, universal signaling field (universal signal field, U-SIG), and repeated U-SIG (RU-SIG), as well as short training field (STF) or long training field (LTF) / data (Data).

[0293] As shown in Figure 15, in some embodiments, the second symbol after the RL-SIG is still QBPSK, while the structure of U-SIG-1, RU-SIG-1, U-SIG-2, and RU-SIG2 remains unchanged. Legacy devices can decode the U-SIG field and pass version-independent information to the MAC.

[0294] To improve performance for STAs (e.g., WiFi 8 stations (STAs) and other stations) that can recognize this new PPDU format, a new field named "U-SIG and L-SIG Improved" is added to the preamble of the extended PPDU. The "U-SIG and L-SIG Improved" field includes time-domain repeated versions of the L-SIG and U-SIG to achieve combined gain and improved performance in decoding or PPDU format detection. In some embodiments, the previous L-SIG and U-SIG fields are repeated, as shown in Figure 15.

[0295] When other SIG fields are present (eg, UHR-SIG), the SIG Enhancement field will also include those fields.

[0296] In the wireless communication method provided in the third embodiment:

[0297] 20 MHz only devices disable support for 26-tone resource units (RU) or support for 26-tone RU and 52-tone RU; and

[0298] Only 20MHz devices are allocated bits 1 to 3 to indicate the RU location.

[0299] The solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments 1 to 3 can be implemented individually or in combination of two or three.
