Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for direct device-to-device (D2D) communications in a subframe on a channel in an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band. A user equipment (UE) may perform a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure on the channel in the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band. The UE may identify a time period between a completion of the LBT procedure and a boundary of a second subframe. The UE may transmit a Wi-Fi preamble and a variable length message on the channel during the identified timer period. The variable length message may include a duration that is time aligned with the boundary of the second subframe.
Abstract:
A system and method of infrastructure service discovery is disclosed. In a particular embodiment, a method includes generating a service query message at a mobile station. The method also includes sending the service query message to an advertisement server via an uncontrolled port.
Abstract:
Systems and techniques are disclosed to manage coexistence of wireless technologies, including 5G unlicensed transmissions, with 802.11 transmissions in the unlicensed band. Aspects of the present disclosure include channel selection and 802.11 traffic monitoring and coordinated access. The systems and techniques include implementing a dynamic duty cycle on a selected channel of an unlicensed 802.11 band and dynamically varying the duty cycle based on traffic load on the selected channel. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
A method for selecting a data link schedule includes selecting, at a provider device, a Neighbor Aware Network (NAN) data link profile for a service. The NAN data link profile corresponds to a set of NAN data link schedules that satisfy transmission parameters of the service. The method also includes sending the NAN data link profile in a service advertisement to a subscriber device.
Abstract:
A method for sending one or more service discovery messages includes detecting, at a proxy device of a network, a client device having access to the network. The method also includes sending a service discovery message from the proxy device to one or more other devices in the network. The service discovery message is associated with a service and is sent on behalf of the client device. The client device is a publisher of the service of a subscriber of the service.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for wireless service delivery are described herein. In some aspects, a method for wireless service deliver may include transmitting, by a first wireless node, and receiving, from each of a plurality of wireless nodes, a service discovery message for a service. The method may further include selecting one of the plurality of wireless nodes based on a link quality metric associated with each of the plurality of wireless nodes. The method may additionally include establishing a communication pathway to a provider of the service through a link to the selected wireless node.
Abstract:
A system and method for reliable multicast communications is disclosed herein. In one aspect, a first station may receive a first multicast frame having a first modulation and coding scheme and a first sequence number. The station may then receive a subsequent negative acknowledgement request having a second modulation and coding scheme and a indicating a second sequence number for previously transmitted multicast frame, with the second modulation and coding scheme having a lower data rate than the first modulation and coding scheme. The station may then selectively acknowledge the negative acknowledgement request based on a comparison of first sequence number and the second sequence number. In another aspect, the station transmits a negative acknowledgement if the second sequence number does not match the first sequence number and may further receive acknowledgement frame from an access point.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for communicating data in a wireless communications network are described herein. One innovative aspect of the present disclosure includes a method of communicating in a wireless network. The wireless network includes an access point and a relay. The method includes indicating to a client, at the relay, a network address of the access point. The method further includes receiving an association request, from the client, addressed to the access point. The method further includes forwarding the association request to the access point.
Abstract:
A station, method, and apparatus for network detection in a wireless communication system are provided. One implementation may include a station for identifying the presence of at least one access point to associate with. The station comprises a processor configured to generate a probe message, the probe message including a scrambling seed. The processor is further configured to transmit the probe message. The processor is further configured to receive a first probe response message from each access point, the first probe response message being encoded with the scrambling seed. The processor is further configured to receive the second probe response message from each of the access points, the second probe response message from each of the access points including at least an address of the access point. The processor is further configured to identify an access point to associate with based on the second probe response messages. The processor is further configured to generate an association request to transmit to the identified access point. The processor is further configured to transmit the association request to the identified access point.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatuses for communicating multi-destination traffic are provided. One aspect of this disclosure provides a method of communicating including generating a wireless frame including first and second data portions, and a transmission schedule indicating the first data portion is transmitted using a first modulation and coding scheme (MCS) and the second data portion is transmitted using a second modulation and coding (MCS) scheme. The method may also include transmitting the frame, wherein the first portion is transmitted using the first modulation and coding scheme to a first device and the second portion is transmitted using the second modulation and coding scheme to a second device.
