    Abstract: Embodiments of a high efficiency (HE) access point (HE AP) and HE station (HE STA) are generally described herein. The HE AP may transmit a frame that includes a transmit power envelope element to indicate local maximum transmit power constraints for an operating bandwidth of the HE AP on a per-segment basis. The operating bandwidth may be configurable for division into segments of a configurable segment size. The transmit power envelope element may include: a transmit power information field that includes: a local maximum transmit power count subfield that indicates the operating bandwidth, and a segment size subfield that indicates the segment size; and for each of the segments, a local maximum transmit power per segment field that indicates a local maximum transmit power for the segment.

    Abstract: An apparatus for implementing power control for a radio device that has multiple radio transceivers operating in different bands, including sub-bands of a single frequency band. The device implements a power control protocol for communications between the device and a similar peer device. The device sets-up the power control protocol by generating a request to use one of the multiple bands to signal power control operations, and to use another one of the multiple bands to transfer data between the device and the peer device. The device sends the request to the peer device and receives a response. Based on the response, the device identifies a control channel band and a data channel band from among the multiple bands.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to enhanced location service negotiation. A device may identify a neighbor report frame received from one or more coordinated access points (APs), wherein the neighbor report frame comprises location capability support information. The device may determine a first ranging associated ID (R-AID) associated with the location capability support information. The device may determine a first location measurement with a first coordinated AP of the one or more coordinated APs and a second location measurement with a second coordinated AP of the one or more coordinated APs using the first R-AID.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to bandwidth and primary channel indication. A device may encode an extended directional multi-gigabit (EDMG) field with one or more indications of a primary channel ID, a bandwidth value, or a channel ID for transmission over a wireless communication channel associated with the channel ID. The device may cause the EDMG field to be wirelessly transmitted to a first device over the wireless communication channel.

    Abstract: Methods, computer readable media, and wireless apparatuses are disclosed. The apparatuses including processing circuitry configured to: associate with a master station, decode a frame, where the frame comprises a first duration and a transmitter address and determine that the frame is an intra basic service set (Intra-BSS), an inter (Inter-BSS), or an unclassified frame, where the unclassified frame is the Intra-BSS frame or the Inter-BSS frame. The processing circuitry may be further configured to set an Intra-BSS network allocation vector (NAV) to the first duration if the first duration is longer than a current duration of the Intra-BSS NAV and the frame is determined to be the intra-BSS frame and set the second NAV to the first duration if the first duration is longer than a current duration of the second NAV and the frame is determined to be the inter-BSS frame or the unclassified frame.
