Abstract: A method of enabling data to be relayed between an access point (AP) and a target station (STA). The AP identifies the target STA based at least in part on a medium usage efficiency of the target STA. The AP further sends a relay selection trigger to the target STA to cause the target STA to broadcast a relay selection request to a set of candidate STAs. The relay selection request includes a set of metrics pertaining to a direct link between the AP and the target STA. The AP then receives one or more relay selection responses from one or more candidate STAs in the set of candidate STAs based at least in part on the set of metrics and selects a relay STA from the set of candidate STAs based at least in part on the one or more relay selection responses.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for presence indication and determination in a wireless data link, such as a neighbor aware network (NAN) data link (NDL). A wireless station (STA) may identify a set of devices associated with the wireless data link and transmit a message to the set of devices including a presence request indicator. The STA may determine that a first subset of the set of devices are present in the wireless data link based on receiving a response to the message from the first subset. The STA may also determine that at least one device of the set of devices are absent from the wireless data link based on receiving a notice of absence message from the one device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communications. A network may employ additional contention based parameters to support MU transmissions and to communicate to other devices a duration that protects MU transmission. For example, a first device may transmit a first message to reserve a subband of shared spectrum. The first message may be addressed to multiple devices and may indicate a channel access deferral duration to other devices within transmission range. The non-addressed devices may refrain from accessing the channel for an indicated duration. The addressed devices that receive the first message may respond to the first message with a second message, which may also be used to reserve the channel. The second message may additionally be used to identify those devices that received the first message. The first device may generate a trigger message based on the received second messages.
