    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for reducing collisions in a wireless network with overlapping basic service sets by synchronizing contention slots among stations (access points or non-access point clients), some of which are out of range, competing for the use of the wireless medium. In some embodiments, the contention slots of competing stations are synchronized by controlling the time of transmission and the time of the spacing between frames to be an integer multiple of the time of a contention slot. In some embodiments, slot boundaries are enforced by controlling guard intervals or by trigger-based uplink communications. In other embodiments, a central network controller, such as a network controller, synchronizes slots when an access point or station joins the wireless network or uses a neighbor discovery protocol among access points. The contention slots are synchronous in all cases throughout the overlapping basic service sets.

    Abstract: A method includes grouping a plurality of access points based on a proximity of the plurality of access points to each other and determining, based on AFC reports for each of the plurality of access points, a first frequency band in which a threshold number of the plurality of access points are prevented from operating or are limited to operating at a first power that is lower than a maximum allowed standard power. The method also includes determining whether power cutoff in the first frequency band should be static or dynamic and if the power cutoff should be static, instructing the plurality of access points to use a portion of the first frequency band. The method further includes, if the power cutoff should be dynamic, instructing a first subset of the plurality of access points to operate at the first power in the first frequency band.

    Abstract: Seamless client roaming for Multi-Link Device (MLD) clients may be provided. First, a Traffic Identifier (TID)-to-link map may be established by an Upper Service Access Point (U-SAP) of a multi-AP MLD entity that assigns subsets of TIDs to at least two links of the entity. For example, a client device logically associates with the U-SAP, while the client device physically connects to a first and second AP of the entity on a respective first and second link, where the first and second AP include first and second Lower Service Access Points (L-SAPs) and are non-collocated. Next, using the map, data received at the U-SAP is directed over one of the two links for transmission to the client device. Further, frame aggregation and block acknowledgment functions may be performed by one of the first or second L-SAP based on whether data transmission is over the first or second link.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to synchronize wireless signal transmission by endpoints controlled by a central controller. For example, an example method of wireless communication includes receiving, at a first device, over a wired medium between the first device and a second device, a plurality of packets from the second device. Each of the plurality of packets comprises data representative of a portion of a signal corresponding to a wireless medium. The method further includes receiving, at the first device, from the second device over the wired medium a synchronization signal based on a common master clock at the second device. The method further includes synchronizing, at the first device, a local clock of the first device to the common master clock based on the synchronization signal. The method further includes reconstructing the signal corresponding to the wireless medium based on the plurality of packets and the synchronized local clock.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for reducing signaling overhead in multi-link reconfiguration. A first MLD generates a first profile for a first link, where the first profile comprises a plurality of parameter sets, each parameter set being allocated an element identifier and comprising a first value set relevant to an operation of the first link. The first MLD generates a second profile for a second link, where one or more parameter sets that have a same value set as in the first profile are omitted, and, for each parameter set that has a different value set from the first profile, the element identifier and a second value set are incorporated into the second profile. The first MLD generates a link reconfiguration frame including the first and second profiles, and sends the frame to a second MLD.
