Apparatuses, methods, and computer program products for communication
First Claim
1. An apparatus for communication, the apparatus comprising a processing system configured to:
- receive a data packet comprising a plurality of space-time streams, wherein the plurality of space-time streams comprise one or more space-time stream(s) destined to the apparatus and one or more space-time stream(s) destined to one or more other apparatus;
determine a position information assigned to the apparatus;
if the position information assigned to the apparatus does not have a lowest possible value and a field indicating a number of space-time stream(s) associated with the position information assigned to the apparatus is preceded by one or more other field(s) indicating a number of space-time stream(s) associated with one or more other position information different from the position information assigned to the apparatus, consider a sum of one or more value(s) in the one or more other field(s) indicating the number of space-time stream(s) associated with the one or more other position information different from the position information assigned to the apparatus to determine which space-time stream(s) of the plurality of space-time streams in the data packet is destined to the apparatus, wherein the one or more other position information different from the position information assigned to the apparatus comprises a value that is lower than a value of the position information assigned to the apparatus, wherein a value of each of the one or more other field(s) indicating the number of space-time stream(s) associated with the one or more other position information different from the position information assigned to the apparatus is equal to or greater than a value of the field indicating the number of space-time stream(s) associated with the position information assigned to the apparatus; and
process the one or more space-time stream(s) destined to the apparatus.

8. A method of communication by an apparatus, the method comprising:
-
receiving a data packet comprising a plurality of space-time streams, wherein the plurality of space-time streams comprise one or more space-time stream(s) destined to the apparatus and one or more space-time stream(s) destined to one or more other apparatus; determining a position information assigned to the apparatus; if the position information assigned to the apparatus does not have a lowest possible value and a field indicating a number of space-time stream(s) associated with the position information assigned to the apparatus is preceded by one or more other field(s) indicating a number of space-time stream(s) associated with one or more other position information different from the position information assigned to the apparatus, considering a sum of one or more value(s) in the one or more other field(s) indicating the number of space-time stream(s) associated with the one or more other position information different from the position information assigned to the apparatus to determine which space-time stream(s) of the plurality of space-time streams in the data packet is destined to the apparatus, wherein the one or more other position information different from the position information assigned to the apparatus comprises a value that is lower than a value of the position information assigned to the apparatus, wherein a value of each of the one or more other field(s) indicating the number of space-time stream(s) associated with the one or more other position information different from the position information assigned to the apparatus is equal to or greater than a value of the field indicating the number of space-time stream(s) associated with the position information assigned to the apparatus; and processing the one or more space-time stream(s) destined to the apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, which, when executed by a processing system of an apparatus, cause the processing system to:
-
receive a data packet comprising a plurality of space-time streams, wherein the plurality of space-time streams comprise one or more space-time stream(s) destined to the apparatus and one or more space-time stream(s) destined to one or more other apparatus; determine a position information assigned to the apparatus; if the position information assigned to the apparatus does not have a lowest possible value and a field indicating a number of space-time stream(s) associated with the position information assigned to the apparatus is preceded by one or more other field(s) indicating a number of space-time stream(s) associated with one or more other position information different from the position information assigned to the apparatus, consider a sum of one or more value(s) in the one or more other field(s) indicating the number of space-time stream(s) associated with the one or more other position information different from the position information assigned to the apparatus to determine which space-time stream(s) of the plurality of space-time streams in the data packet is destined to the apparatus, wherein the one or more other position information different from the position information assigned to the apparatus comprises a value that is lower than a value of the position information assigned to the apparatus, wherein a value of each of the one or more other field(s) indicating the number of space-time stream(s) associated with the one or more other position information different from the position information assigned to the apparatus is equal to or greater than a value of the field indicating the number of space-time stream(s) associated with the position information assigned to the apparatus; and process the one or more space-time stream(s) destined to the apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
