Abstract: An electronic device may receive a frame associated with a second electronic device. This frame may include a MAC header with information specifying a request for a trigger or a trigger frame, and the information may include a suggested time interval during which the trigger or the trigger frame is to be provided and a requested resource allocation. For example, the MAC header may include an A-control field, and the A-control field may include the information or may include multiple A-MPDUs and one or more of the A-MPDUs (such as a last A-MPDU or all of the A-MPDUs) may include the information. Moreover, the time interval may begin at a previous transmission associated with the second electronic device, and the requested resource allocation may include a capacity. In response to the request, the electronic device may provide the trigger or the trigger frame addressed to the second electronic device.

Abstract: A station may use information from a reduced neighbor report to determine which neighboring access points (APs) to scan. A station may receive the reduced neighbor report from an AP. The reduced neighbor report may include one or more parameters related to security, verification status, or capabilities of neighbor APs. The station may scan channels of the one or more of the neighbor APs based on the security, the verification status, or the capabilities of the neighbor APs.

Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for implementing a hibernation mode for multi-link wireless communication networks such as a wireless local area network (WLAN). For example, some aspects relate to a multi-link device (MLD) including a first station (STA) associated with a first link of a wireless network and configured to communicate with a second MLD over the first link. The MLD also includes a second STA associated with a second link of the wireless network. The second STA is in a hibernation mode. The MLD also includes one or more processors communicatively coupled to the first and second STAs and configured to control operations of the first and second STAs.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods for transmitting and receiving multi-user request-to-send and clear-to-send frames in a wireless communication system. An access point wireless device may establish wireless connections with multiple wireless devices. The access point wireless device may transmit a multi-user request-to-send frame to the wireless devices. The multi-user request-to-send frame may indicate a transmit opportunity duration and allocate frequency resource units on which to transmit clear-to-send frames to the wireless devices. The wireless devices may transmit the clear-to-send frames on the allocated frequency resource units. The clear-to-send frames can include an indication of partial or full availability for the transmit opportunity.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer-readable medium to perform operations including detecting a reception opportunity of a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) scheduled to be transmitted by a transmitter, where the PPDU includes a preamble and one or more media access control (MAC) PDUs (MPDUs); decoding the preamble of the PPDU; detecting that reception of the one or more MPDUs has failed; and in response to the detecting, preparing a Negative Acknowledgment (NACK) message for transmission to the transmitter.

Abstract: An electronic device (such as an access point) is described. This electronic device transmits an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) frame to a recipient electronic device (such as a client or a station). The OFDMA frame includes multiple predefined resource units (RUs) allocated to the recipient electronic device in a set of predefined RUs having associated frequency bandwidths. Moreover, the multiple predefined RUs include two or more first predefined RUs having a first number of tones less than a predefined amount, or two or more second predefined RUs having a second number of tones greater than or equal to the predefined amount. For example, the predefined amount may include 242 tones. Note that the multiple predefined RUs may have the same or different numbers of tones. Moreover, the electronic may receive an acknowledgment or a block acknowledgment from the recipient electronic device.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods for transmission preemption in a wireless local area network. An access point wireless device may establish a wireless association with another wireless device. A first data transmission may be initiated. The transmitting wireless device may determine to preempt the first data transmission prior to its completion. The transmitting wireless device may transmit signaling indicating that the first data transmission is preempted.

Abstract: Multiuser (MU) Multi-TID (multi-traffic-identifier) transmission may be enabled in a resource unit (RU). To transmit an urgent payload as soon as possible, the urgent payload may be injected/included into the ongoing MU physical protocol data unit (MU PPDU), if possible. This may be accomplished by indicating to the latency-sensitive wireless station (STA) the ID of a companion (or buddy) station that has an assigned resource unit (RU) on which the STA may expect to receive the urgent payload, also referred to as the “overloaded RU.” Alternatively, an extra user field in the preamble of the MU PPDU may be used to indicate to the STA its station ID as well as the location of the overloaded RU. A receiver operating on an A-MPDU may select the RU it receives, and may identify (or determine) a wrong transmission based on the transmitter address.

Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for implementing backup link establishment and operation for multi-link wireless communication networks such as a wireless local area network (WLAN). Some aspects relate to an electronic device including a transceiver configured to communicate over a wireless network and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The processor receives a message including information associated with a backup link from a second electronic device. The processor further receives data associated with data traffic from the second electronic device on a primary link of the wireless network. In response to a quality of the primary link being below a threshold, the processor receives a notification frame from the second electronic device on the backup link and receives additional data associated with the data traffic from the second electronic device on the backup link or on an other link informed by the notification frame.

Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatuses for managing coexistence interference by an access point (AP) and wireless device are described. The wireless device may perform communication with the AP and with another device. The wireless device may indicate characteristics of its communication patterns with the other device to the AP. The AP may determine times to communicate and/or avoid communication with the wireless device based on the characteristics.
