Abstract: Methods, computer readable media, and apparatus for determining a receive (Rx) number of spatial streams (NSS) for different bandwidths (BWs) and modulation and control schemes (MCSs) are disclosed. An apparatus is disclosed comprising processing circuitry configured to decode a supported HE-MCS and a NSS set field, the supported HE-MSC and NSS set field received from an high-efficiency (HE) station. The processing circuitry may be further configured to determine a first maximum value of N receive (Rx) SS for a MCS and a bandwidth (BW), where the first maximum value of N Rx SS is equal to a largest number of Rx SS that supports the MCS for the BW as indicated by the supported HE-MCS and NSS set field; and, determine additional maximum values based on an operating mode (OM) notification frame, and a value of an OM control (OMC) field. Signaling for BW in 6 GHz is disclosed.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to traffic indications for multi-link devices (MLDs). A device may generate a first traffic indication map (TIM) with a first bitmap including a first indication that traffic is to be sent by a first access point (AP) device of the MLD to a first non-AP device of a second MLD using a first communication link. The device may generate a second TIM with a second bitmap including a second indication that no traffic is to be sent by a second AP device of the MLD to a second non-AP device of the second MLD using a second communication link. The device may send, using the first communication link, the beacon, the beacon including the first TIM and the second TIM. The device may send, using the first communication link, a data frame to the first non-AP device of the second MLD.

Abstract: For example, an apparatus may include logic and circuitry configured to cause a parameter-setting server to establish a connection with a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) station (STA). For example, the parameter-setting server may be configured to send WLAN parameter-setting information to the WLAN STA via the connection with the WLAN STA. For example, the WLAN parameter-setting information may be configured to indicate a setting of one or more WLAN parameters to be implemented by the WLAN STA for communication in a WLAN. For example, the WLAN STA may be configured to process the WLAN parameter-setting information from the parameter-setting server to identify the setting of the one or more WLAN parameters to be implemented by the WLAN STA. For example, the WLAN STA may be configured to communicate one or more transmissions in the WLAN, for example, according to the setting of the one or more WLAN parameters.
