Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for wireless communications. In one aspect, a method for wireless communications may include monitoring, at a wireless device, a congestion of a channel; adapting, at the wireless device, an interval at which discovery beacons are transmitted based on the congestion of the channel; and transmitting from the wireless device the discovery beacons on the channel at the adapted interval.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for an AP. The AP determines a time duration associated with a validity of a first broadcast TWT parameter set associated with a broadcast TWT schedule identified by a first ID. The AP generates the first broadcast TWT parameter set to identify the determined time duration. The first broadcast TWT parameter set includes at least four bits identifying the determined time duration. The AP transmits a management frame including the generated first broadcast TWT parameter set. The time duration may indicate a number of intervals for which the first broadcast TWT parameter set is valid. Each interval of the intervals may be a beacon interval corresponding to a beacon frame, or may be a DTIM interval corresponding to a beacon frame that includes a DTIM.
Abstract:
This disclosure generally relates to systems, devices, apparatuses, and methods for providing adaptive discovery timing between wireless devices. A channel is identified for use by a wireless communication device. One or more channel conditions associated with the channel are determined. The system selects a value for a minimum wait time from multiple possible minimum time values based on the one or more channel conditions. In one example, the minimum wait time may represent the amount of time that the wireless communication device will wait before sending a probe request on the channel. In another example, the selected minimum wait time may represent the amount of time that the wireless communication device will remain on the channel after sending the probe request on the channel.
Abstract:
One innovation includes an apparatus, for wirelessly communicating with a communication system via a first wireless channel and a second wireless channel, including a memory unit that is configured to store a first data packet and a second data packet, the first data packet and the second data packet have consecutive sequence numbers. The apparatus further includes a processor configured to retrieve the first data packet and the second data packet from the memory unit, a transceiver that is configured to transmit the first data packet to the communication system via the first channel, to receive a first acknowledgement from the communication system and to transmit the second data packet to the communication system via the second channel after the processor detects that the first acknowledgement comprises a positive acknowledgement of the first reception information.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes techniques for operating a client device to communicate with a wireless access point to validate data within a frame by comparing channel quality metrics and duration metrics to thresholds. Information received within a validity window may be treated as correctly received even if the frame fails a subsequent verification process or if reception of the frame is terminated prior to the end of the frame.
Abstract:
Disclosed are systems, methods and devices for obtaining round trip time measurements for use in location based services. In particular implementations, a fine timing measurement request message wirelessly transmitted by a first transceiver device to a second transceiver device may permit additional processing features in computing or applying a signal round trip time measurement. Such a signal round trip time measurement may be used in positioning operations.
Abstract:
Various aspects of apparatus for accessing a network through a wireless access point and methods of power savings for such apparatus include operating in a sleep state, and scheduling one or more sleep state intervals for operating in the sleep state during a time period, wherein the scheduled one or more sleep state intervals are based on one or more wireless transmission parameters.
Abstract:
Various aspects of apparatus for accessing a network through a wireless access point and methods of power savings for such apparatus include autonomously alternating between a listen state and the sleep state during a time period in which no data is detected from the remote apparatus, and progressively increase the sleep state interval during the time period for at least a portion of the time period.
Abstract:
