Abstract:
A method includes, prior to authenticating a mobile device, receiving by an access point a first message from the mobile device, determining that the mobile device is to be authenticated prior to responding to the first message, and sending to an authentication server a second message that includes an authentication request and the first message. The method also includes receiving from the authentication server a third message that includes a response to the authentication request and that further includes the first message.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for communicating in a wireless communication system are described. Various processes for reducing the initial link set up time are described. In aspect a method in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes transmitting two or more network domain identifiers from an access point, each of the network domain identifiers being associated with a respective network service. The method further includes receiving an access request message for establishing the network service associated with at least one of the transmitted network domain identifiers.
Abstract:
Methods, devices, and systems are described to enable fair message transmission and to reduce maximum power consumption of stations in a wireless network. For example, a first station of the wireless network may transmit a message including a first neighbor list to a second station of the wireless network. The first neighbor list may identify one or more stations within a particular range of the first station. The second station may selectively transmit, based on a comparison between the first neighbor list and a second neighbor list and a random countdown, a copy of the message including the second neighbor list to another station of the wireless network. The second neighbor list may identify one or more stations within a particular range of the second station.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. In an aspect, an apparatus may be configured to determine whether to switch to an active mode, a power save mode, or a TWT power save mode. During the TWT power save mode, the apparatus may enter an awake state during TWT service periods and may enter a doze state outside of the TWT service periods. The apparatus may transmit a message to a second wireless device based on the determination.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication at a wireless station. Specifically, the present disclosure prevents a station from decrypting unauthorized messages transmitted by wireless device(s) impersonating an AP. In some examples, the AP may continuously and periodically alter the keys for each transmitted message transmitted to prevent malicious interference by unauthorized devices. In some examples, the method may use a symmetric cipher (e.g., Message Integrity Code) for a message using an undisclosed MIC key.
Abstract:
A wireless communication device includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to set a packet number to a particular value in accordance with a packet number initialization scheme associated with a data link group of a neighbor aware network (NAN). The processor is further configured to generate a packet based on the packet number.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for multiple user uplink are provided. In one aspect, a method for wireless communication is provided. The method includes transmitting a clear to transmit (CTX) message to two or more stations, the CTX indicating an uplink transmission opportunity, the CTX message further comprising a request that the two or more stations concurrently transmit uplink data at a specific time. The method further includes receiving a plurality of uplink data from at least two stations at the specific time.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses, and systems are described that implement techniques and protocols to enable a station to receive a neighbor query request from a first associated access point that is associated with the station. The station may wirelessly communicate a neighbor report of a second access point to the first access point while the station is unassociated with the second access point.

Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatuses for signaling and generating an enhanced random access frame in a wireless network are provided. One aspect of this disclosure provides a method of wireless communication. The method includes receiving, at a first device, a first frame from a second device indicating one or more frequency bandwidths available for random access by the first device. The method further includes transmitting, at the first device, a second frame to the second device in response to the first frame, the second frame comprising an indication of an identifier of the first device and indicating a selection of at least one frequency bandwidth of the one or more frequency bandwidths, the second frame not including a medium access control (MAC) payload data portion.
