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: A station may use information from a reduced neighbor report to determine which neighboring access points (APs) to scan. A station may receive the reduced neighbor report from an AP. The reduced neighbor report may include one or more parameters related to security, verification status, or capabilities of neighbor APs. The station may scan channels of the one or more of the neighbor APs based on the security, the verification status, or the capabilities of the neighbor APs.

Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatuses for managing coexistence interference by an access point (AP) and wireless device are described. The wireless device may perform communication with the AP and with another device. The wireless device may indicate characteristics of its communication patterns with the other device to the AP. The AP may determine times to communicate and/or avoid communication with the wireless device based on the characteristics.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and mechanisms for WLAN enhancements to facilitate co-existence with other radio access technologies, such as Bluetooth, 5G NR, and/or UWB. For example, WLAN transmissions may be shortened, e.g., to better fit within available transmission times. A wireless device may shorten WLAN transmissions of a peer device by specifying a frame size limitation for WLAN communications. The frame size limitation may be indicated via a data frame, a management frame, a beacon frame, an association request frame, and/or an association response frame.

Abstract: An electronic device that performs a scan is described. During operation, the electronic device may perform, using a scanning radio, the scan of a band of frequencies, where the scanning radio only receives frames. Then, the electronic device may receive, using the scanning radio, a beacon associated with a second electronic device, where the beacon includes information associated with operation of a third electronic device in a second band of frequencies. Next, the electronic device may perform, using a data radio, a second scan of the second band of frequencies based at least in part on the information, where the data radio transmits and/or receives second frames, and where the second scan is performed, at least in part, while the scan is performed. Note that the electronic device may not be associated with (or may not have a connection with) the second electronic device and/or the third electronic device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and mechanisms for a privacy enhanced basic service set (BSS), including privacy enhancements for both access points and wireless stations as well as privacy enchantments for authentication, association, and discovery operations. Further, the systems, methods, and mechanisms disclosed may continue to support legacy wireless stations and are thus, backward compatible. A station may communicate with a legacy BSS of a wireless network to transition to a PE BSS of the wireless network. The station may receive, from the PE BSS of the wireless network, an encrypted beacon, wherein the encrypted beacon is decoded based on information received from the legacy BSS and perform, with the PE BSS of the wireless network, an encrypted handshake procedure to authenticate and associate with the PE BSS of the wireless network.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and mechanisms for a privacy enhanced basic service set (BSS), including privacy enhancements for both access points and wireless stations as well as privacy enchantments for authentication, association, and discovery operations. Further, the systems, methods, and mechanisms disclosed may continue to support legacy wireless stations and are thus, backward compatible. A non-associated PE station may receive, from a PE access point, one or more discovery beacons advertising PE BSSs hosted by the PE access point and transmit, to the PE access point, a request to setup pre-association security protection. The non-associated PE station may, upon setup of pre-association security protection, transmit, to the PE access point, a protected request frame and receive, from the PE access point, a protected response that includes PE access point parameters.
