Abstract
A wireless network comprises R client stations that respectively generate simultaneous uplink transmission (SUT) data, where R is an integer greater than one. An access point (AP) receives SUT data from each of the R client stations during an SUT period.
Claims34
A wireless network comprising:
- R client stations that respectively generate simultaneous uplink transmission (SUT) data, where R is an integer greater than one;
- an access point (AP) that receives SUT data from each of the R client stations during an SUT period.
A client station comprising:
- a physical layer (PHY) module;
- a medium access control (MAC) module that communicates with the PHY module and that transmits simultaneous uplink transmission (SUT) data to an access point (AP) during a SUT period,
- wherein other client stations associated with the AP transmit other SUT data to the AP during the SUT period.
A method for operating a wireless network, comprising:
- generating simultaneous uplink transmission (SUT) data using R client stations, where R is an integer greater than one;
- and
- receiving SUT data from each of the R client stations at an access point (AP) during an SUT period.
A method for operating a client station comprising:
- transmitting simultaneous uplink transmission (SUT) data to an access point (AP) during a SUT period,
- wherein other client stations associated with the AP also transmit other SUT data to the AP during the SUT period.
