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;
determine a position information assigned to the apparatus;
determine how many of the plurality of space-time streams in the data packet are destined to the apparatus based on a field indicating a number of space-time streams associated with the position information assigned to the apparatus;
if the position information assigned to the apparatus has a lowest possible value, determine that the field indicating the number of space-time streams associated with the position information assigned to the apparatus is not preceded by one or more other fields indicating a number of space-time streams associated with one or more other position information different from the position information assigned to the apparatus;
if the position information assigned to the apparatus does not have the lowest possible value, determine that the field indicating the number of space-time streams associated with the position information assigned to the apparatus is preceded by one or more other fields indicating a number of space-time streams associated with one or more other position information different from the position information assigned to the apparatus;
if the position information assigned to the apparatus does not have the lowest possible value, consider a sum of values in the one or more other fields that precede the field indicating the number of space-time streams associated with the position information assigned to the apparatus to determine which of the plurality of space-time streams in the data packet to process; and
process one or more space-time streams of the plurality of space-time streams in the data packet.

Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and computer program products for communication are provided. In an aspect, an apparatus for communication may include a processing system configured to receive a frame configured to assign at least member information or position information for one or more identifiers, and receive a data packet associated with a particular identifier and indicating a number of space-time streams for one or more position information. In another aspect, an apparatus for communication may include a processing system configured to transmit a frame configured to assign at least member information or position information for one or more identifiers, and transmit a data packet associated with a particular identifier and indicating a number of space-time streams for one or more position information.

1. An apparatus for communication, the apparatus comprising a processing system configured to:
-
receive a data packet comprising a plurality of space-time streams; determine a position information assigned to the apparatus; determine how many of the plurality of space-time streams in the data packet are destined to the apparatus based on a field indicating a number of space-time streams associated with the position information assigned to the apparatus; if the position information assigned to the apparatus has a lowest possible value, determine that the field indicating the number of space-time streams associated with the position information assigned to the apparatus is not preceded by one or more other fields indicating a number of space-time streams associated with one or more other position information different from the position information assigned to the apparatus; if the position information assigned to the apparatus does not have the lowest possible value, determine that the field indicating the number of space-time streams associated with the position information assigned to the apparatus is preceded by one or more other fields indicating a number of space-time streams associated with one or more other position information different from the position information assigned to the apparatus; if the position information assigned to the apparatus does not have the lowest possible value, consider a sum of values in the one or more other fields that precede the field indicating the number of space-time streams associated with the position information assigned to the apparatus to determine which of the plurality of space-time streams in the data packet to process; and process one or more space-time streams of the plurality of space-time streams in the data packet. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

9. A method of communication by an apparatus, the method comprising:
-
receiving a data packet comprising a plurality of space-time streams; determining a position information assigned to the apparatus; determining how many of the plurality of space-time streams in the data packet are destined to the apparatus based on a field indicating a number of space-time streams associated with the position information assigned to the apparatus; if the position information assigned to the apparatus has a lowest possible value, determining that the field indicating the number of space-time streams associated with the position information assigned to the apparatus is not preceded by one or more other fields indicating a number of space-time streams associated with one or more other position information different from the position information assigned to the apparatus; if the position information assigned to the apparatus does not have the lowest possible value, determining that the field indicating the number of space-time streams associated with the position information assigned to the apparatus is preceded by one or more other fields indicating a number of space-time streams associated with one or more other position information different from the position information assigned to the apparatus; if the position information assigned to the apparatus does not have the lowest possible value, considering a sum of values in the one or more other fields that precede the field indicating the number of space-time streams associated with the position information assigned to the apparatus to determine which of the plurality of space-time streams in the data packet to process; and processing one or more space-time streams of the plurality of space-time streams in the data packet. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

10. 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; determine a position information assigned to the apparatus; determine how many of the plurality of space-time streams in the data packet are destined to the apparatus based on a field indicating a number of space-time streams associated with the position information assigned to the apparatus; if the position information assigned to the apparatus has a lowest possible value, determine that the field indicating the number of space-time streams associated with the position information assigned to the apparatus is not preceded by one or more other fields indicating a number of space-time streams associated with one or more other position information different from the position information assigned to the apparatus; if the position information assigned to the apparatus does not have the lowest possible value, determine that the field indicating the number of space-time streams associated with the position information assigned to the apparatus is preceded by one or more other fields indicating a number of space-time streams associated with one or more other position information different from the position information assigned to the apparatus; if the position information assigned to the apparatus does not have the lowest possible value, consider a sum of values in the one or more other fields that precede the field indicating the number of space-time streams associated with the position information assigned to the apparatus to determine which of the plurality of space-time streams in the data packet to process; and process one or more space-time streams of the plurality of space-time streams in the data packet. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
