MIMO AND BANDWIDTH SIGNALING IN MILLIMETER-WAVE SYSTEMS

Abstract:

Techniques to enable dynamic bandwidth management at the physical layer level while maintaining backwards compatibility in wireless systems is provided. Furthermore, techniques for reducing the occurrence of exposed nodes are provided. A transmitter may transmit a frame including an indication that a PHY layer sub-header defining a bandwidth associated with a channel is present. Furthermore, the transmitter may transmit a third frame after receiving a second frame from a receiver to indicate to legacy stations that the TXOP was successful.
