    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: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first wireless device may communicate signaling with a second wireless device based on establishing a radio frequency link, the signaling indicating the first wireless device and the second wireless device are to skip performance of a beam training procedure, or indicating a selection between a first beam training procedure associated with the radio frequency link and a second beam training procedure associated with the radio frequency link. The first wireless device may then communicate one or more messages with the second wireless device via the radio frequency link using a beam, where the beam is based on whether the signaling indicates the first wireless device and the second wireless device are to skip performance of the beam training procedure, or indicates the selection between the first beam training procedure and the second beam training procedure.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a first access point (AP) selects one or more other APs for participation with the first AP in a coordinated access point transmission session. The first AP obtains a transmission opportunity (TXOP), and transmits a frame indicating scheduling information for uplink (UL) or downlink (DL) transmissions to or from the selected APs, the scheduling information indicating a respective start time for the UL or DL transmissions to or from the selected APs, at least two of the start times being offset from one another by a time period associated with decoding a preamble of a wireless packet. The first AP transmits or receives wireless packets to or from one or more associated stations (STAs) at least partially concurrently with the transmission or reception of wireless packets by the selected APs to or from their respective associated STAs based on the scheduling information.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for managing data traffic in restricted target wake time (TWT) service periods (SPs). In some aspects, an access point (AP) receives a request frame from a wireless station (STA) associated with a client device via a peer-to-peer (P2P) link, the request frame indicating the STA intends to exchange P2P communications with the client device during a r-TWT SP scheduled on a wireless medium. The AP obtains a transmission opportunity (TXOP) on the wireless medium during the r-TWT SP, the request frame identifying the client device. The AP transmits a trigger frame on the wireless medium responsive to obtaining the TXOP, the trigger frame allocating a portion of the obtained TXOP for P2P communications between the STA and the client device, wherein at least one of the response frame or the trigger frame indicates a Network Allocation Vector (NAV) exception for the client device.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for use of a reinforcement learning (RL) model to obtain one or more parameters associated with a channel access procedure. Some aspects more specifically relate to mechanisms according to which a wireless communication device may receive information associated with the RL model and transmit a protocol data unit (PDU) during a slot that is based on an output of the model. The wireless communication device may use the RL model to perform a distributed channel access procedure in accordance with the information and may further transmit the PDU, during the slot that is based on the output of the RL model, in accordance with the distributed channel access procedure. The information associated with the RL model may indicate or configure the RL model or may indicate whether the wireless communication is allowed to retrain the RL model.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless device that operates in a wireless local area network may include an auxiliary radio and a main radio and may operate in both an auxiliary radio mode and a main radio mode. The auxiliary radio may support both transmitting and receiving or may support receiving only. The wireless device may indicate parameters associated with an auxiliary radio mode and/or with transitioning from the auxiliary radio mode to a main radio mode. The auxiliary radio may perform additional functions while the wireless device communicates with a second wireless device on a wireless link using the main radio. For example, the auxiliary radio may monitor channel metrics of the wireless link, receive and/or transmit control communications with the second wireless device, receive and/or transmit high importance data communications, or scan for and/or initiate connections via other wireless channels.
