SIGNALING TECHNIQUES TO SUPPORT DOWNLINK (DL) MULTI-USER MULTIPLE-INPUT MULTIPLE-OUTPUT (MU-MIMO) IN 60 GHZ WIRELESS NETWORKS

摘要

Signaling techniques to support DL MU-MIMO in 60 GHz wireless networks are described. According to various such techniques, a transmitting 60 GHz-capable device may be configured to include DL MU-MIMO control information in a PHY header of a PPDU that comprises respective data for multiple receiving devices. In some embodiments, the DL MU-MIMO control information may include information identifying each such receiving device. In various embodiments, the DL MU-MIMO control information may include information specifying—for each such receiving device—one or more respective spatial streams that are assigned to that receiving device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
