Definitions
- Various embodiments of the invention pertain to controlling transmit power from uplink (UL) wireless communication devices (STAs) to an access point (AP).
- UL uplink
- STAs wireless communication devices
- AP access point
- each STA may use a different transmission power to achieve this equality of received signal strength at the AP.
- This transmission power for each STA may be determined by sending a series of 'trigger frames' from the AP (so-called because each trigger frame is intended to trigger a response from the STAs), and receiving a response to each trigger frame from each STA.
- the TF may include a Target RSSI value that the AP expects to see for responses from the STA, as well as an AP TX power field indicating the transmit power at the AP (common for all STAs).
- Each STA could then calculate the path loss by determining its measured Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) for the received TF. By comparing the Target RSSI; and the estimated path loss, the STA may calculate a transmission strength it should use in its response that would achieve the desired Target RSSI at the AP.
- RSSI Received Signal Strength Indication
- estimating the path loss involves inaccurate power measurement errors and normalization instability. So in previous implementations, for a particular STA there may be a variance of several decibels (dBs) from one uplink transmission to the next, even though no actual conditions changed.
- dBs decibels

- wireless may be used to describe circuits, devices, systems, methods, techniques, communications channels, etc., that communicate data by using modulated electromagnetic radiation through a non-solid medium.
- a wireless device may comprise at least one antenna, at least one radio, at least one memory, and at least one processor, where the radio(s) transmits signals through the antenna that represent data and receives signals through the antenna that represent data, while the processor(s) may process the data to be transmitted and the data that has been received. The processor(s) may also process other data which is neither transmitted nor received.
- an access point is intended to cover devices that schedule and control, at least partially, wireless communications by other devices in the network.
- An AP may also be known as a network controller (NC), base station (BS), central point (CP), PBSS Control Point (PCP) or any other term that may arise to describe the functionality of a network controller.
- NC network controller
- BS base station
- CP central point
- PCP PBSS Control Point
- STA is intended to cover those devices whose wireless communications are at least partially scheduled and controlled by an AP.
- a STA may also be known as a mobile station (MS), subscriber station (SS), user equipment (UE), or any other term that may arise to describe the functionality of a STA.
- MS mobile station
- SS subscriber station
- UE user equipment
- STAs may move during such communications, but movement is not required.
- the term "communicate” is intended to include transmitting and/or receiving. This may be particularly useful in claims when describing the organization of data that is being transmitted by one device and received by another, but the claim can be interpreted to cover the functionality of either one of those devices. Similarly, the bidirectional exchange of data between two devices (both devices transmit and receive during the exchange) may be described as 'communicating', even if only the functionality of one of those devices is being claimed.
- Various embodiments of the invention may be implemented fully or partially in software and/or firmware.
- This software and/or firmware may take the form of instructions contained in or on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium.
- the instructions may be read and executed by the one or more processors to enable performance of the operations described herein.
- the instructions may be in any suitable form, such as but not limited to source code, compiled code, interpreted code, executable code, static code, dynamic code, and the like.
- Such a computer-readable medium may include any tangible non-transitory medium for storing information in a form readable by one or more computers, such as but not limited to read only memory (ROM); random access memory (RAM);
- the medium may also be external to the device that is to execute the instructions, with the intention that the instructions will eventually be loaded into, and executed by, that device.

- a format for the TF will be shown in Figs. 4A, 4B, 4C.
- the STAs may each respond simultaneously, using directional transmissions. Each transmission is labeled in Fig. 3 with the STA that it represents (STA 120, STA 130, STA 140, STA 150, STA 160 from Fig. 1). Five transmissions from five STAs are shown, but other embodiments may use other quantities of STAs. After completion of these transmissions from the STAs, a Block
- Acknowledgement may be transmitted by the AP to indicate successful reception of all transmissions from the STAs.
- the AP may then transmit another trigger frame to initiate another group of uplink transmissions from the STAs. Upon reception of the uplink responses, the AP may transmit another BA to signify successful reception of those responses.
- TXOP may contain several of these TF/response/BA sequences, before another TXOP occurs.
- the first TF in a TXOP may have the STA calculate its uplink power in this way, but subsequent UL transmissions in the same TXOP may have their UL power calculated as a specified variance from the previous UL transmission.
- the error-prone technique of recalculating path loss for each TF/response exchange may be avoided.
- Figs. 4A, 4B, 4C show a format for a trigger frame, according to an embodiment of the invention. Numerous fields are shown, but only those directly involved in this process are described.

- the Common Info field which is shown in more detail in Fig. 4B and includes information of interest to all the STAs.
- the User Info field (one for each STA) is shown in more detail in Fig. 4C.
- the Common Info field includes an AP TX Power field, which shows the transmit power from the AP. This value should be the same for all the STAs.
- the User Info field shows a Target RSSI field, which is intended only for the STA associated with that User and contains an indication of a targeted value for a received signal strength of a response from the STA to the AP.
- AP TX Power and Target RSSI may be significant in the implementation of embodiments of the invention.
- Fig. 5 shows a table of mapping for the Target RSSI field, according to an embodiment of the invention.
- the Target RSSI field has been redefined. With 7 bits, the Target RSSI field may have 127 different values (0 - 127 decimal). In the particular mapping shown, a value in this field of 0-90 may equate to a transmission power of -110 dBm to -20 dBm, with a difference of 1 in this field being the equivalent of 1 dBm. Similarly, a value of 127 in this field may equate to the maximum transmit power for the assigned MCS.
- a value of 106-126 in this field may equate to a difference of -10 dB to +10 dB from the power of the previous transmission by this same STA.
- 106 may indicate a change of -10 dB
- 116 may indicate no change
- 126 may indicated a change of +10 dB, with a one-to-one distribution of mapping between those points.
- values 91-105 are not used and are reserved for possible future use. This technique may avoid a calculation of transmit power for any uplink transmission except the first in a TXOP.
- FIG. 6 shows a flow diagram of a method of adjusting transmit power by a
- STA in uplink transmissions may transmit simultaneously, but for simplicity only one STA is shown.
- the other STAs may follow the same procedure.
- the AP may create a TF.
- This TF may include a value for the AP's transmit power, a value for the MCS to be used, and an initial value in a Target RSSI field.
- This TF may then be transmitted at 610. Typically, this transmission may be to multiple STAs, with a separate MCS field and separate Target RSSI field for each STA.
- a STA may measure the received signal strength of the TF at 615, and subtract that from the AP TX transmit power value to determine path loss at 620.
- This path loss may then be used to determine the transmit power at 625 that will be used to transmit a response to the TF at 630, with the goal of having the RSSI of that signal, as measured at the AP, be equal to the Target RSSI value indicated in the TF.
- the AP may measure the actual RSSI of the response received from the STA.
- this value may be used to determine a new desired RSSI value to send to the STA in the next TF.
- This desired RSSI may be affected by the actual measured RSSI received from other STAs at the same time as block 635.
- the AP may calculate a delta based on the difference between the actual measured RSSI at 635 and the Target RSSI of the previous TF as determined at 605. This delta value may then be put into the next TF in the field previously used for Target RSSI, and the TF transmitted to the STA at 650.
- the STA may adjust its transmit power for the next uplink response by this delta amount. By not using a path loss estimation to determine its transmit power at 655, the STA may avoid the inaccuracies that are inherent in determining path loss.
- the response may then be transmitted to the AP at 630.
- the loop of 630-635-640-645-650-655 may be followed for each TF/response exchange (after the first) that take place in the same TXOP.
- the STA's transmit power may become closer and closer to its optimal value until the delta value equals zero for subsequent TFs in that TXOP.
- a TXOP only lasts for 5 milliseconds (msec), so external conditions such as movement of the STA, or obstacles moving between the AP and a STA, are not likely to affect the stability of the communications link during a single TXOP.

Abstract
Dans un réseau sans fil multi-utilisateur (par exemple, un réseau conforme à la norme sans fil IEEE 802.11ax), un module de commande de puissance de liaison montante dans un point d'accès peut déterminer des paramètres de RSSI et de MCS cibles pour chaque STA, transmettre ces valeurs dans une trame de déclenchement, et attendre les réponses sollicitées à partir des STA indiquées. Sur la base du RSSI mesuré dans ces réponses à partir de chaque STA, l'AP peut ensuite placer des valeurs dans chaque RSSI cible, en dirigeant la STA afin d'ajuster sa puissance de transmission précédente vers le haut ou vers le bas par une quantité delta spécifiée dans la transmission de liaison montante suivante. Après quelques passages, la puissance transmise peut se stabiliser jusqu'à une valeur d'état stable.
