Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to link aggregation between devices. A device may identify multi-band capabilities associated with a first device. The device may determine the frequency band of the first device based at least in part on the multi-band capabilities. The device may initiate multi-band link aggregation on one or more interfaces, wherein a first interface of the one or more interfaces is associated with the first device. The device may cause to establish a connection with a second device using a second interface of the one or more interfaces.

Abstract: Wireless communication networks may use various techniques, including those that use multiple-access techniques such as multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) techniques. In some embodiments, the use of a MU-MIMO setup frame may give a destination STA a chance to select a best antenna weight vector (AWV) based on previous antenna training. In particular, the use of an AWVgroupID may be used to identify a group of one or more STAs that can be the destination STAs of the MU-MIMO setup frame.

Abstract: Uplink requests for bandwidth and/or other types of communication resources are provided. In some embodiments, a communication device can access a mapping between quality of service (QoS) metrics and communication resources. The communication device can determined a value of the QoS (e.g., a guaranteed rate, a defined traffic priority, an amount of buffered data, etc.) and can determine a communication resource element using at least the mapping and the value of the QoS metric. The communication device also can configure an uplink request for communication resources based at least on the communication resource element. In addition, the communication device can send the uplink request.

Abstract: Embodiments of a station (STA), an access point (AP) and methods of communication are generally described herein. The STA may receive control signaling that indicates a target wakeup time service period (TWT SP) for contention based access by the STA for transmission of uplink control frames. The TWT SP may be included in a beacon interval. The STA may contend for access during the TWT SP. The STA may transmit an uplink control frame during the TWT SP. The STA may refrain from contention for access outside of the TWT SP during the beacon interval. The STA may attempt to detect trigger frames (TFs) outside of the TWT SP during the beacon interval. If a TF is detected, the STA may determine whether the detected TF indicates a scheduled transmission of an uplink data frame by the STA.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to intra-basic service set (BSS) signaling for multiple access points (APs). A device may determine one or more access points (APs), wherein the one or more APs are in a set of multiple basic service sets (BSSs) identified as intra-BSS. The device may include, in a first frame, a high-efficiency operation element comprising a bit associated with an indicator of the set of multiple BSSs. The device may include, in a second frame, an association identification (AID) value, wherein the AID value is associated with the device. The device may cause to send the first frame a first station device of one or more station devices. The device may cause to send the second frame to a second station device of the one or more station devices.
