Abstract: During operation, an electronic device may perform, using a scanning radio, a scan of a band of frequencies, where the scanning radio only receives frames. Then, the electronic device may receive, using the scanning radio, a beacon frame associated with a second electronic device, where the beacon frame includes information associated with operation of a third electronic device in a second band of frequencies. Next, the electronic device may perform, using a data radio, a second scan of the second band of frequencies based at least in part on the information, where the data radio transmits and/or receives second frames, and where the second scan is performed, at least in part, while the scan is performed. Note that the electronic device may not be associated with (or may not have a connection with) the second electronic device and/or the third electronic device.

Abstract: An electronic device receives a request for access to the infrastructure network (and, more generally, a 'resource') from the other electronic device via a peer-to-peer link. In response to the request, the electronic device determines that it has access to the infrastructure network, and provides a response to the other electronic device via the peer-to-peer link indicating that the electronic device has access to the infrastructure network. Then, the electronic device establishes secure communication with the other electronic device, and provides access information to the other electronic device via the peer-to-peer link using the secure communication. This access information facilitates access to the infrastructure network.

Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for encrypting media access control (MAC) Header fields for Wireless LAN (WLAN) privacy enhancement. For example, a transceiver of a station (STA) or an access point (AP) can set a real time Media Access Control (MAC) header bit in a payload of an aggregated MAC Protocol Data Unit (A-MPDU) subframe to an actual value of a power management (PM) field of a MAC header of the A-MPDU subframe. The transceiver can encrypt the payload, set the PM field to an over the air (OTA) PM value, and transmit the A-MPDU subframe over the air. The OTA PM value can include all zeros, a predetermined value, or a randomized value The transceiver can also set static MAC header bits in the payload of the A-MPDU subframe to corresponding actual values of an aggregated MAC service data unit (A-MSDU) present field of the A-MPDU subframe.

Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatuses for performing a encryption and/or protection of MAC headers and/or control frames are described. A wireless device can determine a randomized MAC address and offset to obfuscate MAC headers and/or control frames, e.g., which can change at different times/intervals. The wireless device can determine an encryption block pattern, which can be based on an encryption key and/or nonce. The wireless device can encrypt the MAC header and/or control frame. Similarly, a receiving device can receive an encrypted MAC header and/or control frame and decrypt it according to corresponding techniques.

Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatuses for performing an address change by an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) and non-AP MLD are described. A non-AP MLD may transmit to an AP MLD, using one or more respective transmission (TX) links in an active mode, one or more uplink frames that include one or more respective initial addresses corresponding to one or more respective reception (RX) links of the AP MLD. The non-AP MLD may then configure the one or more respective TX links to a lower power mode. The non-AP MLD may configure the one or more respective TX links with one or more respective new addresses prior to transitioning the one or more respective TX links back to the active mode. The non-AP MLD may transmit, to the AP MLD, one or more additional uplink frames that include the one or more respective new addresses.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and mechanisms for secondary channel (SC) operation enhancements for enhanced multilink single-radio (eMLSR). An access point may transmit, to one or more wireless stations, one or more ICFs that may indicate that eMLSR-SC capable wireless stations are to switch to a secondary channel. The ICFs may be transmitted on a primary channel and one or more secondary channel(s). Further, the ICF may include a user information field that may include a resource unit index and a bandwidth index that in combination indicate that eMLSR-SC capable wireless stations are to switch to an indicated secondary channel. In addition, the access point may receive, from at least one wireless station of the one or more wireless stations, an IR frame that may indicate that the at least one wireless station has switched to the indicated secondary channel. Additionally, the access point may communicate on the secondary channel with the at least one wireless station.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods for providing unsolicited unavailability announcements to manage the co-existence of Wi-Fi and other technologies (such as Bluetooth) and to manage infrastructure and peer-to-peer connections in a wireless communication system. A wireless device may establish multiple wireless connections on a set of radio resources. The wireless device may transmit an unsolicited unavailability announcement frame, which may include information indicating a time period of future unavailability for the wireless device on the set of radio resources. Such an unsolicited unavailability announcement frame may also include information regarding the device's current availability, for example during which the device plans to initiate a transmit opportunity.

Abstract: Some embodiments include utilizing a multilink media access control (MAC) address structure to support multilink devices (MLDs) that can operate concurrently in more than one link such as extremely high throughput (EHT) access points (APs) and EHT stations (STA), where the multilink MAC address structure is compatible with legacy devices. An EHT AP can utilize a multilink basic service set (BSS) identification (BSSID) MAC address to communicate with an EHT STA identified by a multilink MAC address. Values of the multilink BSSID and the multilink MAC address of the EHT STA are independent of which of the multiple links are used in the communication. In addition, to utilizing a multilink BSSID, the EHT AP can also support unique link-specific MAC addresses to concurrently support legacy and MLD stations. The EHT STA can also utilize unique link-specific MAC addresses that can be different than the EHT AP's link-specific MAC addresses.
