US 2026/0281215 A1 · SIGNALING DESIGNS ENABLING UNEQUAL MODULATION TRANSMISSION ON SPATIAL STREAMS IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

Abstract

Techniques pertaining to signaling designs to enable unequal modulation (UEQM) transmission on spatial streams in wireless communications are described. An apparatus (e.g., a station (STA)) performs a wireless communication with a physical-layer protocol data unit (PPDU) by either: (a) generating and transmitting the PPDU; or (b) receiving and processing the PPDU. The wireless communication is performed with signaling indicating information of the UEQM over multiple spatial streams with respect to a transmission of the PPDU.

performing, by a processor of an apparatus, a wireless communication with a physical-layer protocol data unit (PPDU) by either:
generating and transmitting the PPDU;
or
receiving and processing the PPDU,
wherein the wireless communication is performed with signaling indicating information of unequal modulation (UEQM) over multiple spatial streams with respect to a transmission of the PPDU.
