This disclosure describes methods, apparatus, and systems related to enhanced Bluetooth triggering of device Wi-Fi radios. A device may determine a first Bluetooth data packet including transport data and an indication of a Wi-Fi service discovery, the transport data including a first sub-field and a second sub-field, the first sub-field indicating a length of the second sub-field, and the second sub-field indicating one or more Wi-Fi services supported by the device. A Bluetooth radio of the device may send the first Bluetooth data packet including an indication of a Wi-Fi service. The device may identify a second Bluetooth data packet received by the Bluetooth radio from a second device, the second Bluetooth data packet indicating that the Wi-Fi service is supported by the second device. The device may use a Wi-Fi radio to send one or more Wi-Fi frames associated with the Wi-Fi service to the second device.

For example, a wireless communication device may be configured to determine a Concurrent Multiple Band (CMB) routing scheme based on Quality of Service (QoS) requirement information and network condition information, the CMB routing scheme to route a plurality of application streams to a plurality of radios of the wireless communication device for wireless communication over a plurality of wireless communication bands, the plurality of application streams corresponding to one or more applications to be executed by the wireless communication device; and to route the plurality of application streams to the plurality of radios by determining, based on the CMB routing scheme, to which radio of the plurality of radios to route the application stream of the plurality of application streams.
Abstract:
Embodiments of an access point (AP), station (STA) and method of communication are generally described herein. The STA may determine a portion of a channel occupied by an incumbent device. The STA may refrain from communication in a first subset of resource units (RUs) that overlap the portion of the channel occupied by the incumbent device. The STA may determine a combined RU that comprises two or more RUs of a second subset of RUs that do not overlap the portion of the channel occupied by the incumbent device. The STA may encode a physical layer convergence procedure protocol data unit (PPDU) for transmission in the combined RU. The PPDU may be encoded in accordance with joint coding across the RUs of the combined RU.
Abstract:
Provided herein are apparatus and methods for Wi-Fi network profile verification. An apparatus for a wireless communication device includes: a memory; and processor circuitry coupled with the memory, wherein the processor circuitry is to: encode a verification sequence in a probe request for transmission to an AP; decode, in response to the probe request, a probe response received from the AP to obtain a first verification result; determine a second verification result based on the verification sequence and a verification password (VP) obtained from the AP; and determine whether a verification for the AP is successful or not based on the first verification result and the second verification result, and wherein the memory is to store the VP. Other embodiments may also be disclosed and claimed.
Abstract:
In a navigation system and method, location-aware adjustments may be made to the accuracy and/or power of the navigation system by changing at least one setting of a navigation system receiver in response to at least one characteristic of a navigation route and/or an estimated current position of the receiver. By providing location-aware adjustments, the accuracy may be increased when a higher accuracy is desired and may be decreased when a lower accuracy is sufficient based on the receiver location. A higher accuracy setting may be used, for example, when the estimated current position of a navigation system receiver is within the vicinity of a waypoint along the navigation route and a lower accuracy setting may be used at other times to reduce power consumption. Of course, many alternatives, variations, and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.
Abstract:
Embodiments may comprise logic to adaptively prepare and transmit environmental information based upon an estimated current location and, in some embodiments, context of a device and to adaptively cache the environmental information to reduce or optimize environmental information communicated from an information server to the device. Some embodiments comprise an information server to receive a request for environmental information comprising an estimated current location for the device. In many embodiments, the information server may determine a prior set of environmental information conveyed to the device and determine, in response to receiving the estimated current location, the current set of environmental information based upon the estimated current location. In many embodiments, the current set of environmental information may encompass environmental information near the estimated current location of the device but not to encompass environmental information that was included in a prior set of environmental information transmitted to the device.
Abstract:
Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of estimating a location of a mobile device. For example, a location estimation entity (LE) may be configured to receive from a server location-based location-enabling source (LES) information identifying one or more location-enabling sources based on a location area of a mobile device, and to communicate with the one or more identified location-enabling sources information for estimating the location of the mobile device.
Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed for dynamically adjusting transmission parameters such as transmission output power and the energy detection (ED) threshold (TH) utilized by wireless devices to prevent collision and interference between different device transmissions. The techniques include dynamically adjusting the transmission parameters based upon various scenarios or conditions. The techniques include dynamically adjusting the transmission parameters on a per-packet basis, depending upon the particular type of packet, and/or considering other type of communication parameters.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to security for multi-link operations. A multi-link device (MLD) may establish a first communication link between a first device of the MLD and a first device of a second MLD, and a second communication link between a second device of the MLD and a second device of the second MLD. The MLD may generate a group-addressed message. The MLD may protect the group-addressed message using a first key or a first integrity key. The MLD may protect the group-addressed message using a second key or a second integrity key. The MLD may send, using the first communication link, the group-addressed message protected using the first key or the first integrity key, and may send, using the second communication link, the group-addressed message protected using the second key or the second integrity key.
