Abstract
This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for multi-receive mode millimeter wave (mmWave) operation. In some examples, a method may include receiving, by the wireless communication device in a first receive mode, a multi-user request to send (MU-RTS) in a first frequency spectrum. The method may further include identifying, by the wireless communication device and based on the MU-RTS, a receiver radio frequency (RF) chain associated with data reception in a second frequency spectrum. Further, the method may include switching, by the wireless communication device and based on the identifying, from the first receive mode to a second receive mode that uses the receiver RF chain; and receiving, by the wireless communication device, data via the receiver RF chain.
Claims20
A method for wireless communication performable at a wireless communication device, comprising:
- receiving, by the wireless communication device in a first receive mode, a multi-user request to send (MU-RTS) in a first frequency spectrum;
- identifying, by the wireless communication device and based on the MU-RTS, a receiver radio frequency (RF) chain associated with data reception in a second frequency spectrum;
- switching, by the wireless communication device and based on the identifying, from the first receive mode to a second receive mode that uses the receiver RF chain;
- and
- receiving, by the wireless communication device, data via the receiver RF chain.
A wireless communication device, comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor communicatively coupled with the at least one memory, the at least one processor operable to cause the wireless communication device to:
- receive, in a first spectrum, a multi-user request to send (MU-RTS) from an access point (AP);
- identify based on the MU-RTS, a receiver radio frequency (RF) chain for data reception in a second spectrum;
- switch to a receive mode that employs the receive RF chain in response to the identifying;
- and
- receive, from the access point via the receive RF chain.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, in a first spectrum, a multi-user request to send (MU-RTS) from an access point (AP);
- identifying based on the MU-RTS, a receiver radio frequency (RF) chain for data reception in a second spectrum;
- switching to a receive mode that employs the receive RF chain in response to the identifying;
- and
- receiving, from the access point via the receive RF chain.
