Abstract: For example, a wireless communication station (STA) may be configured to set a channel bandwidth (BW) field to indicate a channel BW. For example, the STA may be configured to set airtime information in an airtime field. For example, the airtime information may be configured to indicate a required time duration for the STA to communicate one or more frame exchanges of a Quality of Service (QoS) flow over the channel BW. For example, the STA may be configured to transmit a frame to an Access Point (AP). For example, the frame may be configured to include the channel BW field and the airtime field.

Abstract: For example, an apparatus may be configured to cause wireless communication station (STA) to set a cellular Quality of Service (QoS) index value in a cellular QoS index field to indicate a predefined setting of a set of a plurality QoS parameters for a cellular QoS traffic flow to be communicated by the STA over a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). For example, the apparatus may be configured to cause the STA to transmit a Stream Classification Service (SCS) request to an Access Point (AP) of the WLAN, the SCS request including an SCS descriptor element, the SCS descriptor element including the cellular QoS index field.

Abstract: Embodiments of an Extremely High Throughput Station (EHT STA) (STA1) configured for operating in a next-generation (NG) wireless local area network (WLAN) are described herein. In some embodiments, the EHT STA encodes a common signal field (SIG) (Coex-SIG) of an EHT PPDU to include a TXOP duration field. The TXOP duration field is more than seven bits to indicate an actual TXOP duration of a transmission from the EHT STA comprising the EHT PPDU transmitted to a second station (STA2). Decoding the TXOP duration field of the EHT PPDU by a third-party station (STA4) causes the third-party station (STA4) to defer a transmission until after an end of the transmission from the second station (STA2).

Abstract: A multi-link access point (AP) device is configured for multi-link operation to communicate with a plurality of non-AP stations (STAs) over a plurality of corresponding links. A multi-link policy element is encoded for transmission to the non-AP STAs to signal a multi-link policy. The multi-link policy element comprises a common policy sub-element and a plurality of link-specific policy sub-elements. The common policy sub-element is applicable to all links. Each of the link-specific policy sub-elements is applicable to a single link. The link-specific policy sub-elements comprise at least a first link-specific policy sub-element applicable to a first link and a second link-specific policy sub-element applicable to a second link. The common policy sub-element defines a link policy for all links that have been set up between the multi-link AP device and the non-AP STAs. Each link-specific policy element defines a link policy specific to an associated link.

Abstract: Embodiments of an access point (AP) configured for extremely high throughput (EHT) operation may be configured to operate as a triggering AP for a trigger-based (TB) peer-to-peer (P2P) communication between a triggered direct (TD) station (STA) and a TD peer STA. The AP may encode a Direct Link Announcement (DiL-A) frame to schedule the TD STA for a direct link transmission to the TD peer STA. The DiL-A frame may be encoded to include a Duration/ID field. The AP may set the Duration/ID field of the DiL-A frame to a remaining duration of a transmission opportunity (TXOP) when the TD peer STA is an EHT STA that supports TB P2P operation (e.g., to allow the TD peer STA to ignore the NAV set by the DiL-A frame). The AP may set the Duration/ID field of the DiL-A frame to a response time for the TD STA to respond to the DiL-A frame when the TD Peer STA is a legacy STA (e.g., to allow the TD peer STA to set its NAV based on the response time).
