Abstract
Methods and protocols are discussed to address IoT coexistence with existing WLAN devices and protocols. Some embodiments allow for the IoT devices to be located further from the Access Point than other devices, and provide higher power solutions to serve these long range devices. New IoT Frame structures are disclosed to allow for the above.
Claims16
A method for wireless communications by an access point (AP) comprising:
- receiving a first data packet to be transmitted to a station of a first class with a long range requirement;
- inserting the first data packet into a frame for transmission, the frame including bits intended for stations of a second class without the long range requirement;
- and
- transmitting the frame to at least the station of the first class with a portion of the frame including the first data packet being transmitted at a higher power than a remainder of the frame that includes the bits intended for the stations of the second class without the long range requirement such that the remainder of the frame is ignored by the station of the first class.

An access point (AP) comprising:
- an input/output interface configured to:
- receive a first data packet to be transmitted to a station of a first class with a long range requirement;
- and
- receive a second data packet to be transmitted;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory including machine readable instructions which when executed by the processor cause the AP to:
- insert the first data packet into a frame for transmission, the frame including bits intended for stations of a second class without the long range requirement;
- insert the second data packet into the frame for transmission;
- and
- transmit the frame to at least the station of the first class with a portion of the frame including the first data packet and the second data packet being transmitted at a higher power than a remainder of the frame that includes the bits intended for the stations of the second class without the long range requirement such that the remainder of the frame is ignored by the station of the first class.
