- Wi-Fi is used to refer to technology that allows communication devices to interact wirelessly based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standards.
- IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
- the wireless communication may use microwave bands, e.g. in the 2.4 GHz to 5 GHz range.
- AP is an acronym for Access Point and is used herein to define a device that allows wireless devices (known as User Equipment or “UE”) to connect to a wired network using Wi-Fi, or related standards.
- UE User Equipment
- the AP usually connects to a router (via a wired network) as a standalone device, but it can also be an integral component of the router itself.
- UE is an acronym for User Equipment(s) and is an example of a station, e.g. Wi-Fi station (STA) that may attach to an AP.
- STA Wi-Fi station
- associated STA refers to a STA that is served by a certain AP, for example with a certain Service Set Identifier (SSID).
- SSID Service Set Identifier
- station or STA is a term used for any participant on the network, for example as used in the 802.11 specification. Both UEs and APs are considered in this context to be examples of stations. In the following the abbreviation STA is used for stations whose packets are detected by a Wi-Fi RDN station implementing embodiments of the invention.
- BSS is acronym for Basic Service Set, which is typically a cluster of Stations associated with an AP dedicated to managing the BSS.
- a BSS built around an AP is called an infrastructure BSS.
- the term “backhaul” is used in the following to denote a communication path between two APs or base stations, for example using a different protocol from that used for wireless communication between an AP or base station and supported equipment or STA.
- the 802.11 specification does not provide for communication between APs.
- a backhaul link may operate outside a wireless, e.g. Wi-Fi, environment in which APs or base stations and associated UEs or other STAs are operating, or use one or more different channels from those used by APs to communicate with their associated stations.
- a backhaul link may use any combination of wired and wireless communication including but not limited to a cellular communication network, Ethernet, and the internet.
- Beacon transmission refers to periodical information transmission which may include system information.
- HT-LTF is an acronym for high throughput long training field as defined in the 802.11 specification.
- MPDU is an acronym for media access code (MAC) protocol data unit as defined in the 802.11 specification.
- MAC media access code
- NAV is an acronym for network allocation vector as defined in the 802.11 specification.
- NDP is an acronym for null data packet.

- VHT is an acronym for very high throughput as defined in the 802.11 specification.
- the specific Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) mechanism used in the 802.11 Media Access Control (MAC) is referred to as the distributed coordination function (DCF).
- DCF distributed coordination function
- a station that wishes to transmit first performs a clear channel assessment (CCA) by sensing the medium for a fixed duration, the DCF inter-frame space (DIFS).
- CCA clear channel assessment
- DIFS DCF inter-frame space
- SIFS Short Inter Frame Space, as defined in the 802.11 specifications is the period between reception of the data frame and transmission of the ACK. SIFS is shorter than DIFS.
- CCA Clear Channel Assessment
- MIMO is an acronym for multiple input multiple output and as used herein, is defined as the use of multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver to improve communication performance.
- MIMO offers significant increases in data throughput and link range without additional bandwidth or increased transmit power. It achieves this goal by spreading the transmit power over the antennas to achieve spatial multiplexing that improves the spectral efficiency (more bits per second per Hz of bandwidth) or to achieve a diversity gain that improves the link reliability (reduced fading), or increased antenna directivity.
- Channel estimation is used herein to refer to estimation of channel state information (CSI) which describes properties of a communication link such as signal to noise ratio “SNR” and signal to interference plus noise ratio “SINR”.
- CSI channel state information
- SNR signal to noise ratio
- SINR signal to interference plus noise ratio
- SINR signal to interference plus noise ratio
- beamforming sometimes referred to as “spatial filtering” as used herein, is a signal processing technique used in antenna arrays for directional signal transmission or reception. This is achieved by combining elements in the array in such a way that signals at particular angles experience constructive interference while others experience destructive interference. Beamforming can be used at both the transmitting and receiving ends in order to achieve spatial selectivity. The operation of attempting to achieve destructive interference in order to cancel a signal in a particular direction or angle is referred to as “nulling”. Complete cancellation of a signal is not usually achieved in practice and a “null” in a radiation pattern may refer to a minimum in signal strength. The lower the signal strength, the “deeper” the null is said to be.
- beamformer refers to analog and/or digital circuitry that implements beamforming and may include combiners and phase shifters or delays and in some cases amplifiers and/or attenuators to adjust the weights of signals to or from each antenna in an antenna array.
- Digital beamformers may be implemented in digital circuitry such as a digital signal processor (DSP), field-programmable gate array (FPGA), microprocessor or the central processing unit “CPU” of a computer to set the weights as may be expressed by phases and/or amplitudes of the above signals.
- DSP digital signal processor
- FPGA field-programmable gate array
- CPU central processing unit
- Various techniques are used to implement beamforming including: Butler matrices, Blass Matrices and Rotman Lenses. In general, most approaches may attempt to provide simultaneous coverage within a sector using multiple beams.
- Wi-Fi is a time division duplex system (TDD), where the transmitting and receiving functions use the same channel, implemented with a limited amount of frequency resources that use techniques of collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) to allow multiple stations, user equipment's (UEs) and APs, to share the same channel.
- TDD time division duplex system
- CSMA/CA collision avoidance
- APs on the same radio channel are within CCA range of each other.
- an AP maybe blocked from transmitting to its client STA (typically a UE) due to activity of a nearby AP as noted in FIG. 1 .
- MU_MIMO Multi-User MIMO
- nulling at one AP may be set toward a co-channel AP in order to achieve the combined effect of reducing interference to the co-channel AP and reducing interference from the co-channel AP.
- the quality of this null e.g. the effectiveness of the interference reduction, can be enhanced through the use of CSI information exchanged between the one AP and the co-channel AP.
- OTA over-the-air
- an access point or components within the AP e.g., a processor or baseband processor, or radio circuitries, is configured to exchange messages with at least one associated station (STA) over a wireless, or over-the-air channel.
- the AP may comprise a plurality of antennas, radio circuitry configured to transmit and receive via said antennas and a baseband processor, and may be equipped with beamforming capability.
- the baseband processor is configured to establish a backhaul link with at least one neighboring AP which may be operating within a clear channel assessment (CCA) range of said AP.
- CCA clear channel assessment
- the AP may then transmit or send a sounding packet to its at least one associated STA over-the-air, or via the wireless channel, and obtain CSI feedback from said at least one neighboring AP via the backhaul link.
- a method according to embodiments of the invention may be implemented in or by an AP and may include establishing a backhaul link with at least one co-channel neighboring AP, sending a sounding packet to said at least one associated STA over the wireless channel, and obtaining channel state information (CSI) feedback from said at least one co-channel neighboring AP via the backhaul link.
- CSI channel state information
- Embodiments of the invention may also be implemented in the neighboring AP. This may include establishing a backhaul link with at least one neighboring AP, detecting a sounding packet sent by the neighboring AP to at least one associated STA over the wireless channel, and sending channel state information (CSI) to said at least one neighboring AP via the backhaul link.
- CSI channel state information
- Embodiments of the invention may also comprise an AP that is configured to implement both methods described above, whereby an AP can transmit or send or receive CSI via a backhaul link with another AP.
- An AP according to embodiments of the invention is sometimes referred to in the following as a “beamforming AP” to distinguish it from a neighboring AP.
- a beamforming AP may also be referred to as a MIMO AP.
- the neighboring AP may or may not have beamforming capability.
- an AP equipped with beamforming capability can both enhance its signal to its client STA while simultaneously nulling its signal toward a neighboring AP which may be interfering. According to embodiments of the invention this can be achieved by providing to the beamforming AP CSI relating to the neighboring AP.
- CSI can be derived by the neighboring AP either implicitly or explicitly.
- the use of the term “implicit” or “implicitly” in this context refers to a process used for TDD protocols such as Wi-Fi, where both down and up links share the same spectrum.
- the uplink channel estimated by an AP is assumed to be identical to the downlink one, based on the reciprocity principle. Therefore, in an example of this process, the channel from an STA towards an AP is considered by the AP to represent the channel from the AP towards the STA.
- the use of the term “explicit” or “explicitly” in this context refers to a procedure where CSI is fed back.
- AP transmissions are channel estimated by the STA, and then fed back to the AP, providing the AP with, for example, the magnitude of phase and amplitude differences between the signals as transmitted by the AP vis-à-vis as received by the client/STA.
- Such information may allow the AP to gauge possible distortions in signals and correct them.
- CSI is provided that relates to a channel between one AP and another.
- Wi-Fi Wi-Fi
- Embodiments of the invention enable explicit CSI measurement between compatible APs so that inter AP interference can be reduced, “compatible” referring to APs according to embodiments of the invention. However high quality of this kind may not always be required and embodiments of the invention may use implicit CSI.
- APs having the capability to implement embodiments of the invention may register with a controller via the backhaul, for example in order to obtain the address of a neighboring AP.
- This controller may take the form of a server, for example, and is referred to in the following as a sounding controller.
- a new procedure is developed that enables an AP to establish a direct peer-to-peer (P2P) backhaul link with a nearby compatible AP which bypasses the sounding controller to reduce CSI feedback delay.
- P2P peer-to-peer
- Embodiments of the invention may also comprise a system comprising multiple APs, each configured to implement any of the foregoing methods, as well as a sounding controller for registration of said APs, each AP being configured to register with the sounding controller.
- Embodiments of the invention comprise a method whereby an AP may obtain feedback, for example explicit feedback, from a co-channel AP as an extension of the standard procedure of obtaining CSI information from a UE or other STA which it is supporting.
- an AP may transmit or send a sounding packet to its associated STAs, poll feedback from STAs and receive backhaul feedback from one or more neighboring APs.
- this may be achieved with no additional Wi-Fi overhead in the physical layer, e.g. channel occupancy.
- an AP may have timely CSI, for example based on feedback from a co-channel AP, which by its nature may be explicit, enabling it to develop a high quality null toward that AP.
- an AP may dynamically adjust any of the sounding rate, the sounding data quality and the specific STA to which sounding is directed, for example based on changes in environment.
- the beamforming AP may determine whether the quality of the CSI data that it possess will enable it to reduce the transmission of the beamforming AP toward one or more of the other APs. This reduction in transmission may be achieved with a pattern that has one or more nulls reduce the transmission of the beamforming AP toward one or more other concurrently operating APs. This may enable the beamforming AP not to interfere with the activity of the one or more other concurrently operating APs.
- the beamforming AP may then be able to deliver an acceptable signal to a UE or other STA which it is supporting. If a beamformer AP can meet this criteria, it may proceed to send data to the UE or other STA.
- a beamformer AP determines if the CSI data it has at this specific moment is of sufficient quality.
- the AP's analysis may consider any of (a) how many milliseconds have elapsed since the last CSI update it received, (b) the stability of the CSI data—e.g. how rapidly is it changing and (c) the absolute quality of the CSI data versus what is required for sufficient nulling depth.

- the 802.11n channel sounding has two PPDU formats defined: the regular or staggered PPDU, which carries a MAC frame, and the null data packet (NDP), which does not carry a MAC frame.
- the NDP is used in a sequence from which the addressing and other MAC related information can be obtained from a MAC frame in a preceding PPDU.
- the normal or staggered PPDU is simply a normal PPDU or a PPDU with additional HT-LTFs that is used to sound the channel. It serves the dual purpose of sounding the channel and carrying a MAC frame.
- the NDP is only used to sound the channel.
- the first sequence is that NDP frame may follow another PPDU where the preceding PPDU carries one or more MPDUs which contain the HT Control field with the NDP Announcement bit set to 1.
- the second possible sequence is when the NDP Announcement PPDU solicits an immediate response then the NDP itself follows the response PPDU from another STA.
- the 802.11ac sounding sequence is separate from the data sequence. Explicit feedback is the mechanism for obtaining CSI (there is no implicit feedback). Only compressed-V (in the singular value decomposition “SVD” of the channel) beamforming weights are permitted (uncompressed-V and CSI are not supported). There is no support for delayed feedback. Rather, in implementations according to 802.11ac, feedback is returned during the SIFS after receiving the VHT NDP.
- the VHT sounding sequence begins with a VHT NDP Announcement frame sent by the beamformer and addressed to the beamformees. This is followed by a VHT NDP frame for channel sounding. The first beamformee responds SIFS after the VHT NDP with a VHT Compressed Beamforming frame. The remaining STAs are polled in turn with a Beamforming Report Poll frame to which they respond with their VHT Compressed Beamforming frame.
- FIG. 4 shows by way of example a standard 802.11ac MU-MIMO sounding message flow: an AP transmits or sends an NDP_announcement, followed by an NDP.
- the STA that was addressed in the receiver field of the NDP_announcement is expected to respond with compressed CSI information. After that, the AP polls the “other” STAs.
- the “other” STAs know they might be polled as they are part of the association identifier (ID) “AID” list which is part of the NDP_announcement message.
- ID association identifier
- AID association identifier
- FIG. 5 shows a high level message flow of backhaul based sounding feedback among a beamformer AP, AP*_ 1 , a neighboring AP, AP*_ 2 and a sounding controller such as sounding controller 310 of FIG. 3 according to embodiments of the invention.
- neighboring AP*_ 2 registers it backhaul IP address, Wi-Fi SSID and Wi-Fi MAC address with a sounding controller on its backhaul network, e.g. IP network 300 , at power-up in flow 501 .
- AP_* 2 receives a register confirmation on the backhaul network from the sounding controller 310 .
- the neighboring AP*_ 2 broadcasts its backhaul CSI feedback capability in beacon transmissions over the air to other APs including AP*_ 1 , as indicated by flow 505 .
- AP*_ 1 which is a beamformer AP receives a beacon transmission 505 from the neighboring AP*_ 2 and recognizes neighboring AP*_ 2 's backhaul CSI feedback capability.
- beamformer AP*_ 1 sends or transmits a query to the sounding controller 310 in flow 507 about neighboring AP*_ 2 's backhaul IP address. This may be done using the decoded MAC transmitter address in received beacon transmission 505 .
- the sounding controller 310 responds with the backhaul address in flow 509 .
- Beamformer AP*_ 1 then transmits or sends a connection request to AP*_ 2 in flow 511 and receives an accepted response in flow 513 to/from the neighboring AP*_ 2 to establish a direct backhaul CSI feedback link, a peer-to-peer (P2P) link which bypasses the sounding controller 310 to reduce CSI feedback delay.
- P2P peer-to-peer
- a null data packet (NDP) or a data packet with extension HT-LTFs, from the beamformer AP*_ 1 in flow 515 , in response the neighboring AP*_ 2 transmits or sends a CSI feedback in flow 517 directly to beamformer AP*_ 1 through the backhaul link.
- NDP null data packet
- the CSI feedback is transmitted or sent to AP*_ 1 by AP*_ 2 regardless of addressed devices for the sounding packet or other packet sent in flow 515 .
- Such packets are usually addressed to STAs served by the sending AP. However they may be detected and decoded by any AP within CCA range of the sending AP.
- AP*_ 1 may update a CSI table with most recent CSI for AP*_ 2 .
- the same process may apply to any other AP*_i that sends feedback to AP*_ 1 .
- Operations 515 and 517 may be repeated once the peer-to-peer link is established. In other words there is no need for operations 501 to 513 to be repeated before AP*_ 1 sends further sounding packets to its associated stations and AP*_ 2 .
- beamformer AP*_ 1 After receiving CSI feedback at the end of the process flow shown in FIG. 5 , beamformer AP*_ 1 applies the CSI feedback to create a radiation pattern, also known as a spatial signature, having a null in transmission or reception toward the neighboring AP*_ 2 . This may reduce interference between the two APs, AP*_ 1 and AP*_ 2 , for example while beamformer AP*_ 1 is transmitting or sending a packet to its associated STA.
- a radiation pattern also known as a spatial signature
- CSI feedback uses 8 bits for each real and 8 bits for each imaginary component of the channel complex element between a transmit antenna and a receive antenna per subcarrier which would have less quantization distortion than compressed-V beamforming frame used in 802.11ac. Grouping of two or four subcarriers can be used to reduce CSI feedback overhead.
- FIG. 6 shows the process flow 600 in a neighboring AP, labelled AP*_i according to embodiments of the invention.
- AP*_i registers its backhaul IP address, Wi-Fi SSID and Wi-Fi MAC address with a sounding controller, e.g. sounding controller 310 , on its backhaul network, e.g. IP network 300 at power-up and receives the registration confirmation from the sounding controller in operation 602 .
- AP*_i listens for a feedback link connection request, for example from AP*_ 1 in operation 603 and accepts the backhaul feedback connection request to establish a direct peer-to-peer connection for sounding feedback in operation 604 .
- the real and imaginary components I and Q of the channel information are uncompressed and prepared for transmission.
- AP*_i transmits or sends the CSI data in operation 606 via the established backhaul feedback link. Then AP*_i goes back to operation 605 where it continues to receive next sounding packet from AP*_ 1 .
- FIG. 7 shows the process flow in a beamformer AP, labelled AP*_ 1 , according to embodiments of the invention, for transmitting or sending data to an associated STA, labelled UE_ 1 .
- AP*_ 1 When AP*_ 1 has data to send to UE_ 1 , it checks to see if NAV is set at operation 701 . If not, e.g. the channel is not clear, AP*_ 1 proceeds to send data at 702 . However if NAV is set, then AP*_ 1 determines if the NAV was set by one of its neighboring APs, AP*_i, that has backhaul CSI feedback capability.
- AP*_ 1 checks if the CSI data from the neighboring AP, AP*_i, is current or not at operation 703 . Using this current CSI data, AP*_ 1 determines whether it can reduce its radiation pattern, e.g. generate a null, toward AP*_i sufficient to protect it from interference from AP*_i, for example by checking whether it will be protected by the CCA set threshold e.g. ⁇ 82 dB, and also support UE_ 1 at operation 704 . If this condition can be met, AP*_ 1 may ignore the NAV being set and proceed to send data to UE_ 1 at operation 705 . If this condition is not met, then it wait until NAV clears at operation 706 . There might be two active neighboring AP*s and it might be possible for AP*_ 1 to create multiple nulls.
- AP*_ 1 receives CSI information from each of the associated UEs that it polls over the Wi-Fi air interface, for example as the standard MU_MIMO sounding procedure.
- AP*_ 1 receives CSI information from AP*_ 2 via an established backhaul link as shown in FIG. 3 and AP*_ 1 may then generate a pattern as shown in FIG. 8 .
- FIG. 8 shows how an AP, AP*_ 1 , equipped with beamforming capability can both enhance its signal to a client STA, UE_ 1 , while simultaneously nulling its signal toward an interfering AP, AP*_ 2 .
- the same reference numerals are used to designate like items in FIG. 1 .
- the propagation path between AP*_ 1 and AP*_ 2 is modified and referenced 209 , and the overall radiation pattern is modified and referenced 206 .
- AP*_ 1 performs the enhancement and nulling using CSI on the path 209 ( 109 ) between APs and on the path 103 between AP*_ 1 and UE_ 1 .
- the baseband processor in an AP may be configured to apply weights to signals received by or transmitted from AP antennas such that spatial signatures, or radiation patterns, generated in downlink or uplink or both reduce interferences between said Wi-Fi AP and at least one of the N neighboring APs. The application of these weights may be based for example on received CSI feedback from sounding.
- the AP may transmit or send a data packet to a station (STA), or a group of stations.
- STA station
- FIG. 8 illustrates schematically that the modification of the radiation pattern results in a reduction of unwanted or unintentional radiation between the two APs, as indicated by path 209 .
- the radiation between AP*_ 1 and UE_ 1 may be enhanced as indicated by the extension of the radiation pattern 206 around UE_ 1 .
- CSI can be developed either implicitly or explicitly.
- explicit feedback is more accurate, and therefore more useful that implicit feedback for generating a high quality null toward a neighboring AP.
- AP*_ 1 is able to recognize nearby APs that are AP* compatible and able to support communication between them.
- AP* capability can be added in as an information element in the beacon transmission.
- FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating the structure of the 802.11 Beacon Frame 900 in accordance with embodiments of the present invention.
- This frame is transmitted by all 801.11 APs at a periodic rate, typically 10 times per second.
- This beacon includes mandatory information such as the SSID of the AP but can optionally include other information, e.g. vendor specific data.
- the vendor specific data may start with a device/vendor ID followed by a flag to indicate backhaul CSI feedback capability. Where this becomes standardized, a specific Information Element ID could be assigned to indicate this capability rather than embedding this information in a vendor specific data element.
- an AP may obtain explicate feedback from a co-channel AP as an extension of the standard procedure of obtaining CSI information from its supported UE. In this manner the AP will have timely CSI information based on feedback from the co-channel AP, enabling it to develop a high quality null toward that AP.
- Embodiments of the invention do not require a modification to the standard sounding approach used by AP*_ 1 when it sends the NDP_announcement message. Consequently, the various STAs will see the message flows as standard.
- AP*_ 1 receives CSI information from co-channel neighboring AP, AP*_i, via an established backhaul link between them and from each of its associated UEs over the Wi-Fi air interface that it polls as the standard MU_MIMO sounding procedure, and then AP*_ 1 generates a pattern as shown in FIG. 8 .
- embodiments of this invention can be implemented in hardware, combination of hardware and software or software only.
- a unique aspect of some embodiments is the possibility for implementation completely in software, for example by augmenting the notational algorithms of the 802.11xx protocol.
- embodiments of the invention may take the form of one or more computer readable media, e.g. non-transitory computer readable media, which when implemented on one or more processors in an AP system to perform any of the methods described above.
