Abstract: Described are methods and devices for increasing the efficiency of Wi-Fi networks by increased spatial reuse, which refers to sharing the same wireless spectral resources over different spatial regions. A described technique for doing this is for a Wi-Fi device to increase the threshold of the clear channel assessment (CCA) so as to ignore and regard as interference the transmissions from other devices. The sensing range of the Wi-Fi device then decreases, and the spatial resource can be reused by different Wi-Fi devices in different spatial locations.

Abstract: Methods, computer readable media, and wireless apparatuses are disclosed for a TXOP duration field. An apparatus is disclosed comprising processing circuitry configured to: encode a first high efficiency (HE) physical-layer convergence procedure (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) comprising a transmission opportunity (TXOP) duration field in a first physical-layer portion of the first HE PPDU. The processing circuitry may be further configured to set the TXOP duration field value to indicate a largest duration value representable by the TXOP duration field that is equal to or less than a duration value indicated by the first MAC duration field, if the first HE PPDU is to include a first media access control (MAC) duration field in a first MAC-layer portion of the first HE PPUU.

Abstract: Embodiments of a station (STA), access point (AP) and method for determination of transmit power for spatial reuse are generally described herein. The STA may detect, in the channel, an overlapping basic service set (OBSS) physical layer convergence procedure protocol data unit (PPDU) from an OBSS AP. The STA may determine, based at least partly on an ESS color parameter included in the OBSS PPDU, whether the OBSS AP is included in the ESS network. The STA may determine an OBSS power threshold based at least partly on whether the OBSS AP is included in the ESS network. The STA may determine, based at least partly on a comparison between the OBSS power threshold and a received power of the OBSS PPDU, whether to transmit an uplink PPDU to the BSS AP in the channel during the TXOP.

Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, devices, and systems related to communicating routing messages using service discovery in neighbor awareness networks (NAN) and further building a routing table for a mesh network. A device may assign a NAN service name to a routing protocol. The device may determine a NAN service discovery frame comprising a routing protocol message of the routing protocol. The device may cause to send the NAN service discovery frame to a second device during a discovery window.

Abstract: Computing readable media, apparatuses, and methods for random access with carrier sensing are disclosed. An apparatus is disclosed including processing circuitry configured to: decrement a value of an orthogonal frequency division multiple-access (OFDMA) backoff (OBO) field based on a number of the resource units (RUs) indicated for random access in a trigger frame. The processing circuitry may be further configured to: when the value of the OBO field reaches a predetermined value, randomly select one of the RUs indicated for random access and determine a virtual carrier sense (CS) based on one or more network allocation vectors (NAVs) and perform a physical CS on the selected RU, and if the virtual CS and the physical CS both indicate that the selected RU is idle, transmit a physical (PHY) layer convergence procedure (PLCP) protocol data units (PPDU) on the selected RU in accordance with OFDMA.
