    Abstract: A host controller for a distributed wireless local area network (WLAN) includes: a communications interface connected to each of a set of wireless access points (APs); a memory storing (i) identifiers of each of the wireless access points, and (ii) a master identifier of the host controller; and a processor configured to: receive a notification, from a first one of the APs, that the first AP has completed an association with a client device; in response to receiving the notification: deploy association data, including an identifier of the client device, to each of the APs; initiate a handshake mechanism with the client device, via a selected one of the APs, to generate an encryption key; and provide the encryption key to each or the APs to enable data exchange between the client device and each of the APs.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for establishing unsolicited block acknowledgements is provided. During a process, at a first wireless device, to associate with a basic service set that includes a second wireless communication device, the first wireless device transmits, via a controller and using a radio: an indication that the first wireless communication device supports block acknowledgements; and at least one common block acknowledgement parameter defining unsolicited block acknowledgement. Thereafter, the first wireless communication device exchanges data with the second wireless communication device according to the at least one common block acknowledgement parameter defining the unsolicited block acknowledgement.

    Abstract: A wireless communication assembly stores configuration parameter sets for predefined spectral masks, including: a single channel mask for a base channel bandwidth, and defining target power levels for each of a base in-band bandwidth, base transition bandwidths, and a base floor bandwidth; and a bonded channel mask for a multiple of the base channel bandwidth, and defining target power levels for each of a bonded in-band bandwidth equivalent to the sum of the base in-band bandwidth and the base channel bandwidth, and bonded transition and floor bandwidths that are multiples of the base transition and floor bandwidths. A radio controller selects predefined channels each having the base channel bandwidth, for transmitting data to a recipient station; retrieves selected one of the configuration parameter sets based on the number of selected channels; and applies the selected configuration parameter set to data for transmission to the recipient station.
