Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. In one aspect, the apparatus is configured to receive a soliciting message with a first bandwidth. The apparatus is configured to select a second bandwidth for transmission of a response message in response to the soliciting message, the second bandwidth being different from the first bandwidth. The apparatus is configured to determine a transmit power for the transmission of the response message based on a ratio of the second bandwidth and the first bandwidth.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to providing a mechanism that may be used to flexibly and efficiently signal spatial reuse (SR) and/or transmit opportunity (TXOP) duration information.
Abstract:
A device for communication includes a processor and a transmitter. The processor is configured to determine a target quality of service (QoS). The processor is also configured to determine, based on the target QoS, a transmission schedule identifying one or more transmission time-blocks. The transmitter is configured to transmit data to at least one device during a transmission time-block of the one or more transmission time-blocks.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. In one aspect, the apparatus may be configured to determine a many-to-many multicast schedule for an NDL of a service associated with a NAN network and to communicate with a plurality of wireless devices subscribed to the service based on the determined many-to-many multicast schedule. The apparatus may be a schedule owner of the many-to-many multicast schedule.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. In an aspect, an apparatus may be configured to generate a first hash value based on a service name associated with a service. The apparatus may be configured to generate a service identifier based on the first hash value, timing information, a password, and a MAC address. The apparatus may be configured to transmit the generated service identifier.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. In one aspect, a first station discovers a second station capable of providing a service of interest to the first station. The second station is one of a plurality of stations participating in a NAN data link network that provides the service of interest and supports communication over a NAN data link channel without beaconing. The second station is discovered through communication over a NAN channel supported by a plurality of neighborhood stations forming a NAN network. The NAN channel has a beaconing operation that provides synchronization. After discovery of the second station, the first station communicates with the second station over the NAN data link channel, to obtain data corresponding to the service of interest.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. In aspect, a first apparatus receives from a second apparatus information related to an ability of the second apparatus to associate with other apparatuses, and limits associations at the first apparatus based on the information. In another aspect, the first apparatus associates with a second apparatus, and transmits to the second apparatus information that indicates a number of desirable associations at the second apparatus.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for indication of medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (MPDU) encoding. A first wireless device may receive a message indicating a format of an MPDU frame, from a set of multiple MPDU frames, or an interpretation configuration for one or more first fields of the MPDU frame, from a set of multiple interpretation configurations for the one or more first fields, or both. The first wireless device may receive the MPDU frame and decode the MPDU frame in accordance with the format of the MPDU frame or the interpretation configuration for the one or more first fields, or both. In some examples, the message may be carried in one or more second fields of an MPDU delimiter, may be a physical protocol data unit (PPDU), or may be a MAC header.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides methods and devices for managing the allocation of resources for uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) transmissions associated with a scheduled time period. In some implementations, a wireless station (STA) transmits, to an access point (AP), a request frame indicating a bandwidth or a quantity of spatial streams (or both) for the UL transmissions, and indicating a bandwidth or a quantity of spatial streams (or both) for the DL transmissions. In some instances, the request frame also may indicate the STA's intention to transmit UL data as duplicates carried on different communication links. The STA receives a trigger frame indicating that the STA is scheduled to transmit or receive data during the time period. The STA transmits data to, or receives data from, one or more other devices during the time period.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for flexible control frames. Some aspects more specifically relate to indicating control information or control feedback in control frames including fields of flexible size. In some implementations, a wireless device may include control feedback in a dedicated feedback field within responsive control frames, within initial control frames, or both. The wireless device may indicate that a field includes the control feedback using bit sequences in one or more other subfields, such as a traffic identifier (TID) subfield or user information subfield. In some implementations, the control feedback information may provide another wireless device with additional information associated with a transmission, such as information associated with an upcoming data transmission or a reception status of a communicated data transmission.
