Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for implementing a target wake time (TWT) technique for multicast communication. For example, some embodiments relate to a method including configuring a target wake time (TWT) process for delivering one or more multicast packets to a group of electronic devices. The method further includes determining that a service period associated with the TWT process has started and transmitting, in accordance with the TWT process, the one or more multicast packets during the service period, where the one or more transmitted multicast packets are addressed to the group of electronic devices.

Abstract: Techniques are directed toward secure scrambling. An example method includes receiving, by a first communication device a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) frame from a second communication device. The first communication device can determine a PPDU frame type based at least in part on a preamble of the PPDU frame. The first communication device can apply a PPDU frame type-based key and a determined service field value to implement a descrambling process for a medium access control (MAC) header of the PPDU frame. The first communication device can descramble a payload based at least in part on de-obfuscating the MAC header. The first communication device selecting a scrambler seed for scrambling an acknowledgement (ACK) message. The first communication device scrambling the ACK message based on the selected scrambler seed.

Abstract: Techniques are directed toward secure scrambling. An example method includes a first device encrypting a payload to be included in a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) frame. The determining a PPDU frame type based at least in part on an association with a second device. The first device can select a key based at least in part on the association with second device. The first device can encrypt a payload to be included in a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) frame. The first device can determine a PPDU frame type based at least in part on an association with a second communication device. The first device can obfuscate the field of the MAC header. The first device can scramble the encrypted payload using a service field value. The first device can transmit the PPDU frame to the second device.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for medium access control header obfuscation. One example method includes a first device encrypting a data payload using a first encryption algorithm. The first device can encrypt a field of a medium access control (MAC) header using a second encryption algorithm, different from the first encryption algorithm. The first device can generate a data frame comprising the encrypted MAC header field and the encrypted payload. The first device can transmit the data frame to a second communication device.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for performing ranging wireless communication including prioritization. A first wireless device may transmit a request for ranging services to a second wireless device. The first wireless device may transmit an indication of a ranging priority to the second wireless device. The second wireless device may determine a granted ranging priority. The first and second wireless device may perform ranging communication according to the granted ranging priority.

Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatuses for managing load of various traffic flows and various links by an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) and non-AP MLD are described. An AP MLD may determine a mapping and a flexible usage policy. The AP MLD may transmit an indication of the flexible usage policy. A non-AP MLD may transmit data to the AP MLD according to the flexible usage policy.

Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatuses for negotiating mapping between traffic flows and different links by an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) and non-AP MLD are described. An AP MLD may transmit an initial request for a first limited mapping. A non-AP MLD may change to the first limited mapping. The non-AP MLD may register one or more high priority traffic flows and may change to a second mapping accommodating the high priority traffic flows on at least one additional link. The non-AP MLD and AP MLD may additionally exchange second and final mapping negotiation messages.

Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatuses for negotiating mapping between traffic flows and different links by an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) and non-AP MLD are described. An AP MLD may transmit an initial request for a first limited mapping. A non-AP MLD may request to add at least one additional link for at least one traffic flow. The non-AP MLD and AP MLD may exchange various mapping negotiation messages.
