    Abstract: Systems and methods for assigning default an alternative BSS colors in a wireless local area network (WLAN) including a network graph representing radio neighbors include assigning a frequency range and EIRP for each radio represented in the network graph; generating a subgraph of radios operating at the same frequency range; for the subgraph, determining a minimum number of basic service set (BSS) colors required to BSS color the subgraph without BSS color conflict; based on the minimum number of BSS colors, assigning a default BSS color to each radio in the subgraph to avoid BSS color conflict among radios in the subgraph; based on remaining BSS colors, assigning one or more alternative BSS colors to each radio in the subgraph.

    Abstract: Methods for assigning effective isotopic radiated power to an access point in a wireless network are provided. In one aspect, a method includes determining weights for neighboring access points in a wireless network based on channel frequency and basic service set color assignments. For a particular access point, a first path loss based on the determined weights and a second path loss based on the neighboring access points are calculated. First and second effective isotopic radiated power values are calculated based on the respective first and second path losses. The effective isotopic radiated power of the particular access point is adjusted based on the lower of the first and second calculated effective isotopic radiated power values. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

    Abstract: Currently, spatial reuse (SR) is a feature used indiscriminately for/across all traffic classes. However, systems and methods are provided for increasing the reliability of voice traffic and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Acknowledgement (ACK) messaging. The result is improved quality of voice calls, and enhanced network capacity. When the length of a data section of a packet suggests that subsequent packets are associated with voice traffic or TCP ACKs, such packets are not transmitted when another transmission(s) is occurring under spatial reuse. When a determination is made that the length of a data section of the packet suggests non-voice traffic or TCP ACKs, they can be transmitted simultaneously with other transmissions occurring under spatial reuse.

    Abstract: Currently, spatial reuse (SR) is a feature used indiscriminately for/across all traffic classes. However, systems and methods are provided for reducing channel access latency via selective application of SR for latency-sensitive and high-priority traffic. If a radio frequency (RF) signal is detected on a channel used by an access point (AP) or a client device, a determination can be made as to whether the energy of the RF signal relative to SR energy level thresholds permits transmission on that channel used simultaneously by another, e.g., neighboring AP. If so, frames can be transmitted so long as the other neighboring AP is associated with a different basic service set (BSS) color than that of the AP, and so long as the frames to be transmitted belong to a high-priority/low-latency traffic access category.

    Abstract: Systems and techniques are described that are directed to filter frequency response shift compensation, including attenuation compensation. Attenuation compensation can apply a pre-distortion to compensate for the magnitude of attenuated resource units (RUs). Additionally, filter frequency response shift can involve applying PHY Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) scheduling schemes. For example, a PPDU scheduling scheme can reduce bandwidth in the channel, thereby dropping the affected RUs. The attenuation compensation is implemented using front ends that provide feedback to a respective radio, which allows that radio to apply the appropriate pre-distortion. The front end can include one or more filters enabling frequency domain coexistence between collocated radios operating in the differing Wi-Fi bands, and a coupler that provides the feedback indicating the frequency response shift to a radio. The radio then applying a digital pre-distortion to a signal input into the one or more filters to compensate for the attenuated RUs.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to dynamic frequency selection (DFS) for wake up radio (WUR). An embodiment of a storage medium includes instructions to cause operations including select, by a primary access point (AP), a surrogate AP to communicate with a wake up radio of a station that is associated with the primary AP operating on a Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) channel; provide, by the primary AP to the surrogate AP, wake up radio parameters negotiated between the station and the primary AP; cause, by the primary AP, the surrogate AP to send a wake up signal to the station, the wake up signal to cause the wake up radio of the station to enable a primary connectivity radio of the station; and exchange, by the primary AP, data with the station via the primary connectivity radio after the primary connectivity radio is enabled.
