Abstract
Aspects described herein relate to requesting and/or reporting channel feedback. A request for channel feedback can be generated by an access point, where the request includes an indicator specifying that the request uses a first format different from a second format, where the indicator corresponds to a bit of a station (STA) information field defined by the second format. The access point can transmit, and a STA can receive, the request for channel feedback.
Claims30
An apparatus for requesting channel feedback, comprising:
- a memory storing channel feedback instructions;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the channel feedback instructions to:
- generate a request for channel feedback, wherein the request includes an indicator specifying that the request uses a first format different from a second format, wherein the indicator corresponds to a bit of a station (STA) information field defined by the second format;
- transmit the request for channel feedback to a STA;
- and
- receive channel feedback from the STA.
A method for requesting channel feedback, comprising:
- generating, by an access point, a request for channel feedback, wherein the request includes an indicator specifying that the request uses a first format different from a second format, wherein the indicator corresponds to a bit of a station (STA) information field defined by the second format;
- transmitting, by the access point, the request for channel feedback to a STA;
- and
- receiving, by the access point and from the STA, channel feedback based on the request.
An apparatus for reporting channel feedback, comprising:
- a memory storing channel feedback instructions;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the channel feedback instructions to:
- receive a request to report channel feedback, wherein the request includes an indicator specifying that the request uses a first format different from a second format, wherein the indicator corresponds to a bit of a station (STA) information field defined by the second format;
- determine, from the request, one or more parameters related to reporting the channel feedback for a portion of a channel bandwidth;
- generate the channel feedback based on the one or more parameters;
- and
- transmit the channel feedback in response to the request.

- determining, by the STA and from the request, one or more parameters related to reporting the channel feedback for a portion of a channel bandwidth;
- generating, by the STA, the channel feedback based on the one or more parameters;
- and
- transmitting, by the STA to the access point, the channel feedback in response to the request.
