Abstract: In one aspect, a method includes associating an MLO device with 2 transmission radios to yield a first communication link between the device and a first MLO access point and a second communication link between the device and a second MLO access point, wherein the device is configured to label the first communication link as a primary link and the second communication link as a secondary link; generating a sequence number to be assigned to a frame to be transmitted on the primary link and to a duplicate copy of the frame to be transmitted on the secondary link; associating a flag with the duplicate copy of the frame on the secondary link; and sending, from the device to the first and the second MLO access points, the frame and the duplicate copy on the primary link and the secondary link, respectively.

Abstract: Devices, systems, methods, and processes are described herein that can reduce network communication overhead by reducing data that is sent. This reduction in data can be achieved by reducing the requests for data related to the buffers of one or more network devices. This buffer status data reduction can be achieved by predicting the current status of the buffers in other network devices. When the buffer predictions are sufficient, the need to request or poll for buffer status reports can be reduced. The buffer predictions can be evaluated through one or more confidence levels. These buffer predictions and confidence levels can be generated by one or more machine learning processes that are configured to operate on one or more network devices. Based on the confidence levels of the predictions, the number of buffer status report polls and of any unsolicited buffer service reports can be reduced.

Abstract: Coordinated customization of harvesting conditions to ambient power devices may be provided. receive Radio Frequency (RF) characteristics associated with a backscatter communication device may be received. Based on the RF characteristics and a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) from the backscatter communication device, it may be determined that the computing device has an ability to charge the backscatter communication device to at least meet a predetermined energy need of the backscatter communication device. Next, in response to determining that the computing device has the ability to charge the backscatter communication device, charging of the backscatter communication device to at least meet the predetermined energy need of the backscatter communication device may be scheduled.

Abstract: Automatic onboarding of a device onto a cellular network may be provided through a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). Subsequent to a device connecting to a first network (e.g., the WLAN), information associated with the device and the first network may be received. One or more tags may be generated and an intent profile may be defined for the device based on the received information, where the intent profile may indicate at least a second network (e.g., the cellular network) that the device is enabled to connect with and one or more policies associated with the connection. The tags and intent profile may be transmitted to a service provider platform, and an onboarding profile template identified using the tags and the intent profile may be received from the service provider platform. The onboarding profile template may be provided to the device to enable connection to the second network.

Abstract: Techniques to determine location-related data for a plurality of access points located in an area in communication with a network by determining that a plurality of access points in a network are associated with a same geographical area including identifying, from among the plurality of access points, a first access point associated with the geographical area, determining first location-related data for the first access point, determining second location-related data for a second access point, the second access point being interior to the first access point within the network based at least in part on a determination that the second access point has at least a threshold number of the neighbor access points, and exchanging ranging data indicative of a first relative distance between the first access point and the second access point, the ranging data based at least in part on ranging message exchange measurements.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing adaptive probe responses may be provided. An Access Point (AP) may receive a new probe response configuration, and compare the new probe response configuration to an old probe response configuration. The AP may determine that AP is operating in an ignore, a duplicate, or a hybrid mode based on the comparison of the new probe response configuration to the old probe response configuration. The AP may determine one or more probe response structures using the new probe response configuration and/or the old probe response configuration based on the mode the AP is operating in. When the AP receives a probe request from a Station (STA), the AP may send one or more probe responses in the probe response structures based the mode the AP is operating in.

Abstract: A method comprising: at a multi-link device (MLD) configured for multi-link operation: establishing a first Internet Protocol (IP) stack of a first IP type and configured with a first IP address of the first IP type, wherein the first IP stack is associated to a first MLD media access control (MAC) address of a first station of the MLD; establishing a second IP stack of a second IP type and configured with a second IP address of the second IP type, wherein the second IP stack exists concurrently with the first IP stack and is associated to a second MLD MAC address of a second station of the MLD; and exchanging, with a peer MLD, IP traffic using one or more of (i) the first IP stack and the first MLD MAC address, and (ii) the second IP stack and the second MLD MAC address.

Abstract: Techniques for dynamically negotiating a service legal agreement (SLA) between a roaming device and a visited network (VN) in an identity federation. An identity profile provided to a user device by an identity provider (IDP) is accessed by the user device. The identity profile includes a first SLA criteria. An advertisement from the VN indicating one or more SLAs supported by the VN is received at the user device. The advertisement is received before the user device has associated with the VN. The IDP and the VN are part of a same identity federation. It is determined that the SLA supported by the VN satisfies the first SLA criteria. Upon that determination, an acceptance is transmitted by the user device to the VN, and the user device is associated with the VN.

Abstract: Multimodal wireless and deterministic mode operation may be provided. An indication may be provided to a client device by an Access Point (AP) that the AP supports multimode operation and which current sub-mode is enabled. Then a determination may be received from the client device to perform an operation based on the indication that the AP supports multimode operation and which sub-mode is currently enabled wherein the operation comprises one of prefer the AP and avoid the AP.

Abstract: Leveraging wireless direct transmissions may be provided. It may be determined that data traffic flowing on a first pathway between a first client device and a second client device is not meeting a predetermined service level. The first pathway may be partially wired and partially wireless. A second pathway that will meet the predetermined service level may be determined. The second pathway may be wireless. The data traffic may be caused to flow on the second pathway.
