Abstract: Systems and methods for more efficient mesh associations are disclosed. In some aspects, a non-member device may join a mesh network via a four way message exchange with any member device of the mesh network. The four way message exchange between the mesh member device and the non-member device provides for authentication and association between the two devices. As a result of the four way message exchange, a common group key is provided to the non-member device. The common group key is utilized by all mesh member devices to encrypt and decrypt group addressed mesh messages exchanged between any of the mesh member devices. Association identifiers for each of the two devices are also provided during the exchange. PHY/MAC capabilities may also be exchanged. In some aspects, IP address assignment for the two devices may also be accomplished during the four way message handshake.

Abstract: Systems and methods for establishing synchronized operations on a data delivery network are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes receiving synchronization information for a neighbor aware network and for a second channel associated with a data delivery network (including a paging window for one of the networks), and receiving service data on the data delivery channels while maintaining synchronization on all data delivery channels using only the synchronization information from the neighbor aware network channel. The synchronization allows devices to increase efficiency by allowing them to sleep, wake-up, send or store data traffic, and receive or transmit indicators of stored data traffic, among other actions, in a coordinated manner such that the devices are awake at the same specified times (e.g., paging windows). Devices may then stay awake to receive or transmit traffic or sleep to conserve power if there is no traffic to send or receive.

Abstract: Systems and methods for receiving service data from a data path are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a message from a neighbor aware network, and decoding the message to determine a communication channel used to provide a service, and an indicator of a paging window for the communication channel. In some aspects, the indicator of the paging window is based on synchronization information for a second communication channel.

Abstract: A first access point (AP) of an AP multi-link device (MLD) is associated with a first communication link, and one or more secondary APs of the AP MLD are associated with one or more respective secondary communication links of the AP MLD. The first AP of the AP MLD generates a frame including a first change sequence field and one or more secondary change sequence fields. The first change sequence field indicates a presence or absence of a critical update associated with the first communication link, and each of the one or more secondary change sequence fields indicates a presence or absence of a critical update associated with a corresponding secondary communication link of the AP MLD. The first AP of the AP MLD transmits the frame over the first communication link of the AP MLD to a station (STA) of a STA MLD.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for coordinated scheduling of service periods (SPs). In some aspects, an access point (AP) may receive timing information indicating an SP associated with an overlapping basic service set (OBSS) and may transmit, to its associated STAs, coordinated timing information indicating the timing of the SP in relation to its timing synchronization function (TSF) timer. In some aspects, the AP may adjust the timing information to account for an offset between its TSF timer and a TSF timer associated with the OBSS. In some other aspects, the AP may synchronize its TSF timer with the TSF timer associated with the OBSS. The AP may further communicate with the STAs based on the coordinated timing information. For example, the AP may schedule communications with the STAs to be orthogonal to communications in the OBSS during the SP.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for selecting network parameters based on feedback in a wireless network. An access point (AP) may collect feedback information from a plurality of stations (STAs). The AP may broadcast out queries seeking information to the STAs. The AP may collect statistics about network parameters preferred by the STAs. The AP may select a network parameter based at least in part on collecting the statistics. The AP may collect the statistics without identifying the individual STAs that are responding. The AP may gather responses using a two-message system, where a first message informs the STAs about the feedback being requested and a second message requests that the STAs transmit the feedback to the AP.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communications and, more particularly, to techniques for managing multi-link communications. Some aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for configuring data unit and control response transmissions on multiple links. The data unit and control responses may be configured such that a control response transmission does not overlap with a data unit reception at a station that is without simultaneous transmission and reception capability.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for extending target wake time (TWT) frame functionality. Some aspects more specifically relate to accommodating TWT wake intervals that do not satisfy threshold TWT wake intervals. In some examples, a first wireless communication device configures at least one of: one or more subfields of a field or one or more fields of an element that include TWT information in a TWT frame, where the subfield(s) or field(s) indicate a presence or absence of at least one optional field in the TWT frame, or an optional element in the TWT frame. The device then transmits the TWT frame to a second wireless communication device. After the second device receives this TWT frame, this device executes one or more operations associated with a TWT schedule or service period based at least in part on the configured subfield(s) or field(s) or the configured optional element.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for identifying frames or packets of data that were received in error (such as incorrectly decoded or not received at all) by a receiving device for purposes of retransmission. In one aspect, a wireless device may form a number of frames for wireless transmission. Each of the frames may include a frame header and may be associated with a unique sequence number. In some implementations, for each of the frames, the wireless device may embed at least a portion of the unique sequence number into a portion of a control field or a delimiter field of the frame header. In some other implementations, for each of the frames, the wireless device may signal at least a portion of the unique sequence number using bit locations unassociated with a sequence number field of the frame header.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for sharing resources of a wireless medium. Particular implementations relate more specifically to coordinated AP (CAP) time-division-multiple-access (TDMA) and orthogonal-frequency-division-multiple access (OFDMA) techniques for sharing the time or frequency resources of a transmission opportunity (TXOP). According to such techniques, an AP that wins contention and gains access to the wireless medium for the duration of a TXOP may share its time or frequency resources with other selected APs. To share its resources, the winning AP may partition the TXOP into multiple time or frequency segments each including respective time or frequency resources representing a portion of the TXOP, and allocate each of the time or frequency segments to itself or to one of the selected APs.
