Abstract: Payload transmission of multiple stations on a single resource unit may be performed. New and/or updated signaling may be introduced to enable a transmitter, e.g., an access point (AP), to include information/signaling in the preamble or in other frames. A receiver (e.g., a wireless station) that receives this information/signaling may accordingly determine in which RU it should decode to receive its allocated data or payload, allowing multiple receivers or STAs to share a single resource unit (RU). The new/updated signaling may include modified hybrid downlink multiuser signaling in Ultra High Reliability Signal (UHR-SIG), a group association identifier (gAID), a predefined special AID corresponding to an RU with use of a Bloom filter, multiple predefined special AIDs each corresponding to a non-overlapping group of wireless stations, and/or signaling announcing time sharing of single RUs.

Abstract: Techniques are directed toward secure scrambling. An example method includes receiving, by a first communication device a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) frame from a second communication device. The first communication device can determine a PPDU frame type based at least in part on a preamble of the PPDU frame. The first communication device can apply a PPDU frame type-based key and a determined service field value to implement a descrambling process for a medium access control (MAC) header of the PPDU frame. The first communication device can descramble a payload based at least in part on de-obfuscating the MAC header. The first communication device selecting a scrambler seed for scrambling an acknowledgement (ACK) message. The first communication device scrambling the ACK message based on the selected scrambler seed.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for medium access control header obfuscation. One example method includes a first device encrypting a data payload using a first encryption algorithm. The first device can encrypt a field of a medium access control (MAC) header using a second encryption algorithm, different from the first encryption algorithm. The first device can generate a data frame comprising the encrypted MAC header field and the encrypted payload. The first device can transmit the data frame to a second communication device.

Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatuses for managing load of various traffic flows and various links by an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) and non-AP MLD are described. An AP MLD may determine a mapping and a flexible usage policy. The AP MLD may transmit an indication of the flexible usage policy. A non-AP MLD may transmit data to the AP MLD according to the flexible usage policy.

Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for implementing block acknowledgment (BA) operations for multi-link wireless communication networks. For example some embodiments relate to an electronic device including a transceiver and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The one or more processors transmit, using the transceiver and to a second electronic device, a first set of one or more frames on a first link and a second set of one or more frames on a second link. The one or more processors receive, using the transceiver and from the second electronic device, a first block acknowledgment (BA) frame on the first link and a second BA frame on the second link. The one or more processors further determine, based on received first BA frame and the second BA frame, a failed or missing frame of the first set of one or more frames transmitted on the first link.

Abstract: During operation, an electronic device may encrypt an A-control subfield. Then, the electronic device may provide the frame addressed to a second electronic device, where the frame includes a media access control (MAC) header and the MAC header includes the A-control subfield that is encrypted. Note that the encrypted A-control subfield may be jointly encrypted with data in a payload in the frame. Moreover, the encrypted A-control subfield may be separated from the payload in the frame by one or more additional subfields or may be adjacent to the payload in the frame. Furthermore, the MAC header may include an indicator that indicates whether the A-control subfield is encrypted. Additionally, the frame may include a preamble that indicates whether the A-control subfield is encrypted. The frame may be received by the second electronic device. After receiving the frame, the second electronic device may decrypt the A-control subfield.

Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for implementing a queuing latency aware buffer status report (BSR). For example, some embodiments relate to an electronic device including a transceiver and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The one or more processors determine an amount of data queued in a buffer for transmission over the wireless network and determine latency information associated with the queued data. The one or more processors generate a queuing latency aware buffer status report (BSR) based at least on the determined latency information. The electronic device transmits the queuing latency aware BSR to an access point.

Abstract: An electronic device that communicates frames is described. During operation, the electronic device may transmit the frames addressed to a recipient electronic device and associated with multiple links between the electronic device and the recipient electronic device. Then, the electronic device may receive block acknowledgments for at least a subset of the frames, where a given block acknowledgment is associated with the recipient electronic device and indicates received frames on a given link in the links. Moreover, the electronic device may control an amount of traffic conveyed on the links based at least in part on the block acknowledgments. Next, the electronic device may store a remainder of the frames based at least in part on the block acknowledgments, where the frames include the subset of the frames and the remainder of the frames. Note that the frames may have a common traffic identifier.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods for conducting multilink communications between a user equipment device (UE) and a wireless access point (AP) over a wireless local area network (WLAN). The UE establishes a connection with an access point through a WLAN, wherein the connection utilizes a plurality of links. The UE transmits an indication to the access point through a first link of the plurality of links, where the indication specifies one or more available links of the plurality of links that are available for the UE to receive downlink (DL) communications from the access point. The UE receives one or more DL communications from the access point through at least one of the one or more available links.
