Trained data transmission for communication systems

An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one wireless transceiver, the apparatus adapted to:

• perform a training phase between a first station and a second station, the training phase comprising:
• transmitting, from the first station to the second station, a medium reservation request message comprising training information,
• receiving, by the first station from the second station, a medium reservation reply message comprising training feedback, wherein the training feedback comprises an indication of at least one transmission parameter determined based at least in part on one or more measured transmission conditions, and wherein the one or more transmission conditions are measured based at least in part on the training information;
• and
• perform a data phase, the data comprising:
• transmitting data, from the first station to the second station, in accordance with the at least one transmission parameter indicated in the training feedback,
• wherein the one or more measured transmission conditions comprise a respective at least one measured transmission condition corresponding to each of a plurality of antennas associated with the second station.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, responsive to execution by a processing device, cause a method to be performed, the method comprising:

• performing a training phase, wherein the training phase comprises:
• transmitting, from the first station to the second station, a medium reservation request message comprising training information,
• receiving, by the first station from the second station, a medium reservation reply message comprising training feedback, wherein the training feedback comprises an indication of at least one transmission parameter determined based at least in part on one or more measured transmission conditions, and wherein the one or more transmission conditions are measured based at least in part on the training information;
• and
• performing a data phase, the data phase comprising:
• transmitting data, from the first station to the second station, in accordance with the at least one transmission parameter indicated in the training feedback,
• wherein the one or more measured transmission conditions comprise a respective at least one measured transmission condition corresponding to each of a plurality of antennas associated with the second station.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, responsive to execution by a processing device, cause a method to be performed, the method comprising:

• performing a training phase between a first station and a second station, wherein the training phase comprises:
• transmitting, from the first station to the second station, a medium reservation request message comprising training information,
• receiving, at the first station from the second station, a medium reservation reply message comprising training feedback, wherein the training feedback comprises an indication of at least one transmission parameter determined based at least in part on one or more measured transmission conditions, and wherein the one or more transmission conditions are measured based at least in part on the training information;
• performing a data phase comprising transmitting data from the first station to the second station in accordance with the at least one transmission parameter indicated in the training information;
• transmitting, from the first station to the second station, at least one protection data packet prior to performing a second data phase, the at least one protection data packet indicating reservation of the transmission medium for a period of time;
• and
• performing the second data phase without first repeating the training phase, the second data phase comprising transmitting data from the first station to the second station in accordance with the at least one transmission parameter.
