    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. An access point (AP) may use wireless local area network (WLAN) signaling fields in a multiple user transmission preamble to communicate with a number of stations greater than a threshold. For example, the AP may determine that the number of stations is greater than the threshold and generate a compression indicator and an indication of the number of stations to include in a first signaling field. The AP may then generate a spatial configuration indicator in a second signaling field based on the number of stations and transmit the first and second signaling fields in a preamble of the multiple user transmission. Upon receiving the preamble, a station may identify the compression indicator and number of stations, and the spatial configuration indicator in the first and second signaling fields, and decode the multiple user transmission using a determined spatial decoding scheme.

    Abstract: Various aspects provide for receiving identity information from a station (STA) that identifies the STA as a sensor-type STA, determining whether communication attributes of the STA correlates with communication attributes expected for a sensor-type STA, and determining that the identity information received from the STA is false when the one or more communication attributes of the STA is uncorrelated with the one or more communication attributes expected for a sensor-type STA. Additional aspects provide for initiating one or more remedial actions upon determining that the identity information is false. The communication attributes may pertain to packet size, inter-arrival time, and/or inter-arrival time variance. The remedial actions may include blocking a future communication with the STA, communicating a warning message to the STA, and/or assigning the STA to a particular access window. Communications by the STA may comply with aspects of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11ah.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media for resource allocation signaling in a high efficiency wireless local area network (WLAN) are disclosed. A transmitter may identify a first indicator identifying a number of multi-user multiple-input/multiple-output (MU-MIMO) stations associated with a first resource unit (RU) in a first content channel of a transmission frame. The transmitter may generate a first common portion of a WLAN signaling field in the first content channel. The first common portion may include the first indicator. The transmitter may identify a second indicator identifying an absence of MU-MIMO stations associated with a second RU in a second content channel of the transmission frame. The transmitter may generate a second common portion of the WLAN signaling field in the second content channel. The second common portion may include the second indicator. The transmitter may transmit the transmission frame including the WLAN signaling field.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for signaling between an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) and a non-AP MLD that support multi-link communication in a wireless local area network (WLAN). In some implementations, a multi-link association may include a first link (referred to as an anchor link) and one or more other links (referred to as auxiliary links). The signaling may include control information to activate or deactivate auxiliary links dynamically based on communication load, throughput requirements, or quality of service (QOS). The signaling also may include requests, acknowledgments, or negotiation regarding multi-link connections. Furthermore, signaling and timing information may be used to coordinate when auxiliary links are used for communication or when to promote an auxiliary link to an anchor link.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for multi-link aggregation in wireless communications. In one aspect, an apparatus includes a multi-link operation device configured to generate and output for transmission a message indicating a mapping of each of a plurality of traffic identifiers (TIDs) to one or more parameters associated with each of a plurality of wireless links. In some aspects, another apparatus may obtain a message via at least one of a plurality of wireless links indicating a mapping of each of a plurality of TIDs to one or more parameters associated with each the plurality of wireless links, obtain a sequence of packets associated with at least one of the plurality of TIDs via one or more of the plurality of wireless links, and process the sequence of packets based on the mapping indicated via the message.
