Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for controlling link selection and aggregation across multiple wireless networks based on a location of a mobile device. A location of a mobile device in a physical environment can be identified. At least portions of the physical environment can be in wireless range of a first wireless network and a second wireless network. Whether to access network services through either or both the first wireless network and the second wireless network can be determined based on the location of the mobile device in the physical environment. Further, a first interface at the mobile device to the first wireless network and a second interface at the mobile device to the second wireless network can be selectively toggled according to whether it is determined to access the network services through either or both the first wireless network and the second wireless network based on the location.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for providing access to wireless networks may include receiving, by a wireless network access provider from a user device, a request to access a wireless network. The method may include obtaining data representing a policy applicable to the access request, sending the access request, augmented with the policy, to an identity provider associated with the user and having no pre-existing relationship with the access provider, and receiving, from the identity provider, an access request response indicating whether or not the policy is met. The method may include communicating, to the wireless device, an indication that the access request has been accepted, if the policy is met, or an indication that the access request has been rejected, if the policy is not met. The access provider and identity provider may be members of an identity and access federation that communicate over a dynamically established secure connection.

Abstract: Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) using non-overlapping Resource Unit (RU) groupings may be provided. A first computing device may associate to a first Access Point (AP) at a virtual Media Access Control (MAC) address. Next, the first computing device may associate to a second AP at the virtual MAC address. Then data from a data frame may be replicated to a first one or more RUs in a channel. The first one or more RUs may be assigned to the first AP. Data from the data frame may then be replicated to a second one or more RUs in the channel. The second one or more RUs may be assigned to the second AP and may not overlap the first one or more RUs.

Abstract: Multi-Class Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) scheduling may be provided. A plurality of network devices may be assigned a transmission window for channel access. The plurality of network devices may include a first number of client devices and a second number of client devices. A first signal may be sent to the first number of network devices. The first signal may enable the first number of network devices to the channel access in a first portion of the transmission window. An amount of data to be exchanged by each of the second number of network devices may be determined. Based on the determined amount of data to be exchanged, a schedule may be determined for the channel access for each of the second number of network devices in a second portion of the transmission window. A second signal may be sent to the second number of network devices based on the determined schedule. The second signal may enable the second number of network devices to the channel access in the second portion of the transmission window.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include apparatuses, systems, and methods for extending a QoS indicator through WLAN to an electronic device in a heterogeneous network. The method comprises receiving, at a second wireless network, a packet from a first wireless network including a first quality of service (QoS) indicator for a first protocol of the first wireless network. The method further comprises determining a second quality of service (QoS) indicator for a second protocol of the second wireless network based on the first QoS indicator and network conditions of the second wireless network. The method further comprises transmitting the packet in accordance with the second QoS indicator.

Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a process of evaluating any number of different identity providers (IDPs) and their respective set of credentials that are used to authenticate corresponding users to assist with the onboarding of the different IDPs in connection with Wi-Fi identity federations. In particular, the process allows a person's electronic identity and attributes (stored across one or more IDPs) to be determined once using a standard. Once trust has been established for the user, that trust can then be utilized across a number of different systems (e.g., Single-sign on). The same trust determination can be used without the need for the authenticity of the user identity to be re-evaluated with each new access request.

Abstract: Multi-link selection based on Transmit Power Control (TPC) may be provided. A computing device may receive Multi-Link Device (MLD) association information associated with a client device. The MLD association information may describe MLD links the client device may require. A set of MLD links available on a network may be determined based on the MLD association information. The determined set of MLD links may then be sent to the client device.
