Abstract:
A device for communication includes a processor, a transmitter, and a receiver. The processor is configured to generate a traffic advertisement indicating availability of data to be sent to a plurality of devices. The traffic advertisement includes a unicast message addressed to a first device of the plurality of devices. The transmitter is configured to transmit the traffic advertisement during a paging window. The receiver is configured to receive, during a data transmission window that is subsequent to the paging window, a data request from a second device of the plurality of devices. The data request is responsive to the traffic advertisement. The transmitter is further configured to send first data to the second device responsive to the data request.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for numerology and frames for neighbor aware networks (NAN) in the sub-1GHz (S1G) band. According to certain aspects, an apparatus for wireless communications is provided. The apparatus generally includes a processing system configured to: determine occurrence of a first type of discovery window for a network that occurs according to a first interval, and determine occurrence of a second type of discovery window for the that occurs according to a second interval shorter than the first interval; and a first interface is configured to output, for transmission in the network, at least one of time synchronization information or service information during at least one of the first type of discovery window or the second type of discovery window.
Abstract:
A method of communication includes selecting a logical channel of a plurality of logical channels at a first electronic device of a neighbor aware network (NAN). The logical channel indicates a particular communication channel of a plurality of communication channels and indicates a set of transmission windows of a plurality of transmission windows. The method also includes generating a message indicating that the first electronic device is available to communicate with other electronic devices of the NAN and identifying the logical channel. The method further includes transmitting the message to a second electronic device of the NAN.
Abstract:
A method includes monitoring, at a first electronic device (e.g. recipient STA of a mesh network) of a data link, a first wireless network during a first paging window corresponding to an active (e.g. awake) operating mode of electronic devices of the data link. The method also includes receiving, at the first electronic device (e.g. recipient STA of a mesh network), a traffic announcement message from a second electronic device (e.g. transmitting STA) of the data link during the first paging window. A data link, or a data link network refers to one or more electronic devices that share a time period corresponding to an active operating mode of the electronic devices (e.g., a paging window) and that have common security credentials (NAN, network aware network).
Abstract:
A method includes generating a first traffic announcement message at a first electronic device (e.g. an STA of a mesh network) of a data link (e.g. social wireless mesh network, ad-hoc, data path). The first traffic announcement message indicates first data is to be transmitted from the first electronic device to a second electronic device (e.g. a recipient STA) of the data link. The method also includes transmitting the first traffic announcement message to one or more electronic devices (e.g. a sub-set of recipients of a NAN network) of the data link during a first paging window. A data link, or a data link network refers to one or more electronic devices that share a time period corresponding to an active operating mode of the electronic devices (e.g., a paging window) and that have common security credentials (NAN, network aware network).
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for authentication during fast initial network link setup within wireless communication systems are disclosed. In one aspect, a method for wireless communication is provided. The method includes generating an aggregated message, the aggregated message comprising a pairwise master key identifier (PMKID) and an extensible authentication protocol re-authentication protocol (EAP-RP) frame. The method further includes transmitting the aggregated message.
Abstract:
A method includes receiving, at a first station of a peer-to-peer infrastructure-less network, a data packet transmitted from a second station of the peer-to-peer infrastructure-less network. The method also includes determining whether to retransmit the data packet to at least one other station in the peer-to-peer infrastructure-less network or whether to suppress retransmission of the data packet based on received signal strengths of received retransmissions of the same data packets from one or more nearby stations.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for receiving service data from a data path are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a message from a neighbor aware network, and decoding the message to determine a communication channel used to provide a service, and an indicator of a paging window for the communication channel. In some aspects, the indicator of the paging window is based on synchronization information for a second communication channel.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications and, more particularly, to multi-link communications. A method that may be performed by an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) includes establishing a plurality of links for communication with a non-AP MLD, wherein one or more non-AP MLDs, including the non-AP MLD, communicate with the AP on each link of the plurality of links and taking one or more actions designed to ensure that the non-AP MLD is able to receive a group addressed frame. The non-AP MLD is operating in an enhanced multi-link single radio (EMLSR) mode.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for protecting latencysensitive communications during restricted target wake time (r-TWT) service periods (SPs). Some implementations more specifically relate to coordinated scheduling of r-TWT SPs between OBSSs. In some aspects, a first AP may coordinate with a second AP in scheduling r-TWT SPs so that latency-sensitive traffic in a first BSS does not interfere or collide with latency-sensitive traffic in a second BSS overlapping the first BSS. In some implementations, the first and second APs may schedule their respective r-TWT SPs to be orthogonal in time. In some other implementations, the first and second APs may schedule their r-TWT SPs to overlap in time, while allocating coordinated resources to concurrent or overlapping latency-sensitive traffic in the first and second BSSs (such as in accordance with one or more multi-AP coordination techniques).
