Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communications. A device may utilize enhanced roaming techniques to identify a candidate channel for roaming. In one example, a device determines whether a candidate channel is congested by calculating a congestion metric associated with traffic over the shared channel. In some examples, the congestion metric is calculated based at least in part on an amount of energy measured over the candidate. For instance, the calculated congestion metric can be an instantaneous congestion level measured during a CCA. The device may then determine whether to roam to the candidate channel based at least in part on the calculated congestion metric.

Abstract: A first powerline communication device, associated with a first powerline communication network, determines a plurality of time intervals in a beacon period of the first powerline communication network based, at least in part, on variations in levels of interference from a second powerline communication network which shares a powerline communication medium with the first powerline communication network. The first powerline communication device determines at least one channel adaptation parameter for each of the plurality of time intervals in the beacon period to compensate for effects of the variations in the levels of interference from the second powerline communication network. The first powerline communication device applies the at least one channel adaptation parameter corresponding to one or more of the plurality of time intervals in the beacon period when transmitting data via the powerline communication medium.

Abstract: A Response Interframe Space (RIFS) time period may be adapted in a communication system. The RIFS time period may be based, at least in part, on channel conditions (e.g., data rate) between a first device and a second device. The RIFS may be optimized in consideration of channel conditions for a particular communications channel and/or characteristics of a particular physical layer transmission. In one embodiment, the RIFS may be dependent on characteristics of a final modulation symbol in a physical layer transmission. The final modulation symbol may include more than one PHY blocks (PBs) or portions of PBs. The RIFS may depend on a number of PBs that end in the final modulation symbol.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and computer-readable media for wireless communication may involve techniques for managing multi-user (MU) operation when a device in a wireless network has coexisting radios. Such techniques may involve identifying a change in a multiple radio access technology (RAT) coexistence status of a first device, e.g., a change between a coexistence status that is not disruptive to MU communications and one that is disruptive. For a device communicating with a network using Wi-Fi, the change in the multiple RAT coexistence status may indicate a change between inactive Bluetooth (BT) communications and active BT communications concurrent with Wi-Fi communications. Based at least in part on the identified change in the multiple RAT coexistence status, a MU communications operation at a second device may be adjusted, for example, by disabling MU communication between the first and second devices over a first RAT when the first device changes to a coexistence status that may disrupt MU communications.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer-readable media for wireless communication by an access point (AP) may involve communicating with a station using a first modulation and coding scheme (MCS). An under-utilization of a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (MPDU) aggregation of the station while using the first MCS may be identified. The under-utilization may be caused by packet error rate (PER)-induced head of line (HOL) blocking. The MCS may be switched to a second MCS that is lower than the first MCS.

In one example, the master network device can generate a data frame including a payload with a plurality of symbols. The payload may include at least one symbol allocated for each of the client network devices. The plurality of symbols may be arranged in a predefined pattern in the payload. In another example, the master network device may generate a data frame including a payload with one or more symbols. Each symbol may include a plurality of frequency carriers, and may include at least one frequency carrier allocated for each of the client network devices. The plurality of frequency carriers can be allotted to the client network devices according to a partitioning pattern. The master network device then transmits the data frame to the client network devices.

Abstract: Communicating among stations in a network includes, from each of multiple stations in the network, transmitting information indicating which other stations from which that station is able to reliably receive transmissions. A schedule for communicating among the stations is determined based on the information from the stations and transmitting the schedule over the network. The schedule includes a plurality of time slots during which respective contention groups of stations are assigned to communicate using a contention-based protocol.

Abstract: A feature-capable device that supports channel reuse and is part of a local network can determine whether to reuse or share a communication channel with a neighbor network when the local network and/or the neighbor network include at least one legacy device that does not support adaptive channel reuse. The feature-capable device can determine channel performance measurements associated with each legacy device in the local network and/or in the neighbor network. The feature-capable device can compare the channel performance measurements against corresponding performance thresholds. The local network and the neighbor network can reuse the channel if the channel performance measurements associated with each of the legacy devices meet the corresponding performance thresholds. The local network and the neighbor network can share the channel if the channel performance measurements of at least one of the legacy devices does not meet the corresponding performance thresholds.
