    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for operating a Basic Service Set (BSS) are disclosed. A method involves announcing, by a first wireless device to a second wireless device, a BSS operating channel, wherein the first wireless device has at least one of a first transmission power capability and a first bandwidth capability, the second wireless device has at least one of a second transmission power capability that is less than the first transmission power capability and a second bandwidth capability that is narrower than the first bandwidth capability, and wherein the BSS operating channel is at least one of a punctured operating channel and an unpunctured operating channel, associating, by the second wireless device, with the first wireless device via the announcement of the BSS operating channel from the first wireless device, and exchanging frames between the first wireless device and the second wireless device in the BSS operating channel.

    Abstract: A non-access point (non-AP) multi-link device (MLD) is arranged to roam within a roaming AP MLD comprising a plurality of AP MLDs. The non-access point MLD receives from the roaming AP MLD an announcement. In an example, the announcement indicates that the roaming AP supports one of a link level roaming and MLD roaming within the roaming AP MLD. Based on the announcement, the non-AP MLD sends a roaming request to the roaming AP MLD, where the roaming request indicates one of the link level roaming and MLD roaming. A roaming response is received from the roaming AP MLD where the response indicates at least one new link established from the non-AP MLD to the roaming AP MLD. Based on the new link which is established, the non-AP MLD exchanges frames with the roaming AP MLD.

    Abstract: In an IEEE 802.11 wireless system, a wireless STA is configured to access a secondary channel by receiving an inter-BSS PPDU which identifies a transmission channel bandwidth for the inter-BSS PPDU and TXOP duration, and then accessing a secondary channel which excludes the transmission channel bandwidth identified by the inter-BSS PPDU and a primary 20 MHz channel for the wireless STA device from a basic service set (BSS) operating bandwidth associated with the wireless STA device before exchanging one or more frames on the secondary channel during the TXOP duration without using the primary 20 MHz channel for the wireless STA device, and then switching back to the primary 20 MHz channel before the TXOP duration ends.

    Abstract: One example discloses a method of latency-sensitive traffic transmission for communications between a first WLAN (wireless local area network) device and a second WLAN device, including: scheduling, by the first WLAN device a set of low latency (LL) traffic stream windows with the second WLAN device; having LL traffic for transmission during at least one of the LL traffic stream windows; pre-empting, by the first WLAN device, a TXOP (transmission opportunity) of the second WLAN device if the at least one of the LL traffic stream windows overlaps with the second WLAN device's TXOP; and transmitting, by the first WLAN device, the LL traffic during the TXOP of the second WLAN device that was pre-empted.

    Abstract: A method of a low power listening mode includes announcing, by a first wireless device is operating in a low power listening mode. The first wireless device in the low power listening mode receives an initial frame having a single spatial stream and a low data rate from a second wireless device. The frame requests a frame exchange with the first wireless device. The low data rate is lower than a maximum data rate of the first wireless device. A reply to the initial frame is transmitted to the second wireless device in a single spatial stream with the low data rate. The reply acknowledges an association with the second wireless device. The first wireless device wakes from the low power listening mode to a full capacity mode, and performs a frame exchange with the second wireless device in the full capacity mode.

    Abstract: Embodiments of a method and apparatus for wireless communications are disclosed. In an embodiment, a wireless device includes a wireless transceiver configured to receive a first frame from a first wireless access point (AP) for multi-AP coordination that is not associated with the wireless device and a second frame from a second wireless AP for multi-AP coordination that is associated with the wireless device and a controller configured to set a network allocation vector (NAV) timer of the wireless device to a non-zero value in response to the first frame and the second frame. The wireless transceiver is further configured to transmit a physical protocol data unit (PPDU) to the second wireless AP even if the NAV timer of the wireless device is non-zero.
