Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a responding station may transmit a first ranging poll via a first bandwidth, the first ranging poll comprising an indication of a second ranging poll and first polling information transmitted with repetitions in a frequency domain based at least in part on serving first initiating stations (I-STAs) configured for communication using the first bandwidth and second I-STAs configured for communication using a second bandwidth that is smaller than the first bandwidth. The responding station may transmit, based at least in part on the indication of the second ranging poll, the second ranging poll over the second bandwidth comprising second polling information. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for generating a secure long training field (LTF). In some implementations, the secure LTF may include a randomized bit sequence that is difficult, if not impossible, to replicate by any device other than the transmitting device and the intended receiving device. For example, the transmitting device may use a block cipher or stream cipher to generate a pseudorandom bit sequence and may select a subset of bits of the pseudorandom bit sequence to be mapped to a sequence of modulation symbols representing an LTF symbol of the secure LTF. More specifically, each of the modulation symbols is mapped to a respective one of a number of subcarriers spanning a bandwidth of the secure LTF. The transmitting device may further transmit a physical layer convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) that includes the secure LTF to the receiving device.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for initiating a secure FTM session between at least first and second STAs. A first STA initiates, with a second STA, a secure FTM session. The first STA receives a plurality of FTM packets from the second STA, each of the plurality of FTM packets including at least one preamble subject to a respective first CSD. The first STA transmits, to the second STA, an ACK for each of plurality of FTM packets. The first STA receives a measurement report including a ToD offset by the respective first CSD for each of the plurality of FTM packets, and a ToA at the second STA of each of a plurality of ACKs. The first STA determines a RTT between the first and second STAs based on the offset ToD and the ToA.
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:
Aspects of the present disclosure allow for one or more network allocation vectors (NAVs) to control whether or not the STA may transmit on the wireless channel depending on whether the NAV was set by a device in the same BSS (“intra-BSS”) or from a different BSS (OBSS or “inter-BSS”). In one aspect, the STA may maintain two NAVs (intra-BSS NAV and inter-BSS NAV). In accordance with one technique, if the inter-BSS NAV was previously set based on an in-deterministic frame (e.g., a frame received by the STA that cannot readily be identified as either intra-BSS frame or an inter-BSS frame), then the STA may respond to a trigger frame from an AP after the inter-BSS NAV has been set as though the inter-BSS NAV is intra-BSS NAV.
Abstract:
A device for communication includes a processor and a transmitter. The processor is configured to determine a target quality of service (QoS). The processor is also configured to determine, based on the target QoS, a transmission schedule identifying one or more transmission time-blocks. The transmitter is configured to transmit data to at least one device during a transmission time-block of the one or more transmission time-blocks.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. In one aspect, the apparatus may be configured to determine a many-to-many multicast schedule for an NDL of a service associated with a NAN network and to communicate with a plurality of wireless devices subscribed to the service based on the determined many-to-many multicast schedule. The apparatus may be a schedule owner of the many-to-many multicast schedule.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. In an aspect, an apparatus may be configured to generate a first hash value based on a service name associated with a service. The apparatus may be configured to generate a service identifier based on the first hash value, timing information, a password, and a MAC address. The apparatus may be configured to transmit the generated service identifier.
Abstract:
A method of communication includes generating a traffic advertisement. The traffic advertisement indicates availability of data to be sent to multiple devices of a set of devices. The data includes first data to be sent to a first device and second data to be sent to a second device. The method also includes sending the traffic advertisement during a paging window. The method further includes receiving a first acknowledgement (ACK) during the paging window from the first device. The method also includes receiving a trigger message from the second device. The method further includes sending the first data to the first device during a data transmission window. The method also includes, in response to detecting receipt of the trigger message from the second device, sending the second data to the second device during the data transmission window without receiving a second ACK during the paging window from the second device.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to using bloom filter hash functions for service hint information in advertisements such as beacons and probe responses. Certain aspects provide an apparatus for wireless communications, such as an access point (AP). The apparatus generally includes a processing system configured to generate a plurality of bitmaps that indicate one or more services known by the apparatus, each bitmap being generated by applying a different set of one or more cyclic redundancy check (CRC) based hash functions to one or more service identifications (IDs) of each service, and to generate one or more frames, each frame including one of the plurality of bitmaps and an indication of the set of one or more CRC based hash functions used to generate the bitmap included in the frame, and an interface configured to output the one or more frames for transmission.
