Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for transmitting and receiving, between an access point (AP) and one or more stations (STAs) in a basic service set (BSS), within a 3.5 GHz bandwidth. In some examples, the AP may generate a first advertisement frame comprising information configured to enable one or more communication devices to associate with the apparatus for wireless communications via a first channel in a first operating band. In some examples, the AP may output the first advertisement frame for transmission according to a first periodic interval.

Abstract: Various aspects of the techniques, methods and devices described in this disclosure relate generally to achieving coexistence between WLAN and P2P networks, and specifically, to coordinated D2D communications. Some aspects particularly involve extending the capabilities of TWT elements transmitted by APs to support periodic reserved access windows during which D2D-enabled wireless devices are permitted to transmit direct wireless communications. Some other aspects relate to sharing time and frequency resources via CAP TDMA or CAP OFDMA techniques, and specifically, to allocating at least some of the time and frequency resources specifically for D2D communications. Some other aspects relate to periodic coordinated access windows during which APs are scheduled to contend but during which D2D devices are not permitted to contend, and specifically, to scheduling a reserved access window within a periodic coordinated access window during which D2D devices may transmit direct communications to other D2D devices despite the permissions associated with the periodic coordinated access windows.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for coordinated scheduling of service periods (SPs). In some aspects, an access point (AP) may receive timing information indicating an SP associated with an overlapping basic service set (OBSS) and may transmit, to its associated STAs, coordinated timing information indicating the timing of the SP in relation to its timing synchronization function (TSF) timer. In some aspects, the AP may adjust the timing information to account for an offset between its TSF timer and a TSF timer associated with the OBSS. In some other aspects, the AP may synchronize its TSF timer with the TSF timer associated with the OBSS. The AP may further communicate with the STAs based on the coordinated timing information. For example, the AP may schedule communications with the STAs to be orthogonal to communications in the OBSS during the SP.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to techniques for signaling parameters for peer-to-peer communications in a wireless network. One aspect provides a method for wireless communications at an access point (AP). The method generally includes: obtaining, from an access point (AP), a transmission opportunity (TXOP) sharing trigger indicating a duration in which a TXOP is shared by the wireless station and one or more other devices; relaying, to the one or more other devices, information identifying parameters for wireless communications between the wireless station and the one or more other devices; and during the TXOP, communicating with the one or more other devices based on the parameters for wireless communications between the wireless station and the one or more other devices.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for transmitting and receiving, between an access point (AP) and one or more stations (STAs) in a basic service set (BSS), an indication of a puncturing event. In some examples, the transmitting and receiving may use non-legacy elements configured to provide information about the puncturing event. In certain aspects, the disclosure provides methods for transmitting and receiving, between the AP and one or more STAs, an indication of an operating band switch. In some examples, the transmitting and receiving may use non-legacy elements configured to provide information about the operating band switch.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide an apparatus for wireless communications. The apparatus generally includes a processing system configured to generate a frame for triggering transmission of a plurality of data units from a plurality of wireless nodes, a first interface configured to output the frame for transmission to the plurality of wireless nodes, and a second interface configured to obtain the plurality of data units after outputting the frame for transmission, wherein the plurality of data units have different lengths.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for reliable delivery of enhanced broadcast services (EBCS) downlink (DL) packets to wireless stations (STAs) that support EBCS (also referred to as “EBCS STAs”) and maintaining interoperability with STAs that do not support EBCS. A wireless communication device may broadcast one or more EBCS DL packets carrying data associated with an EBCS service. In some aspects, the wireless communication device may subsequently transmit a trigger frame soliciting information indicating which, if any, of the EBCS DL packets were missed by EBCS STAs in the vicinity. In some other aspects, each EBCS DL packet may carry signaling indicating that the broadcast data is intended only for EBCS STAs. Still further, in some aspects, the wireless communication device may broadcast an EBCS traffic advertisement indicating a timing of the one or more EBCS DL packets.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, an access point (AP) communicates with at least one wireless station (STA) and supporting a plurality of communication devices and communication modes on a communication medium, establishes a single-link communication mode with the at least one wireless STA and at least one communication device of the plurality of communication devices over a single-link, establishes a multi-link communication mode with the at least one wireless STA and the at least one communication device over a multi-link, and dynamically transitions between the single-link communication mode and the multi-link communication mode based upon a determination related to a best mode of delivery for a next period.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for transmitting and receiving physical protocol data units (PPDUs) over multiple links. In some aspects, a wireless communication device may determine that first random back off (RBO) for a first channel of a first link has counted down to zero. A wireless communication device may determine, when the first RBO has counted down to zero, that a second RBO for a second channel of a second link has a count down remaining. A wireless communication device may optionally transmit a medium reservation message on the first link reserving a transmission opportunity (TXOP). A wireless communication device may determine whether to wait for the second RBO before transmitting on the first link. A wireless communication device may transmit at least a first PPDU on the first link during the TXOP.
