Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for using different MAC addresses in frames for the same station to indicate how to process the frames. In this manner, frames for IEEE 802.11ac can carry information not present in legacy frames (e.g., frames according to IEEE 802.11a/n), but these frames may be interpreted by legacy devices in a legacy way. One example method generally includes receiving a first frame comprising an indication of a first MAC address and processing the received first frame based on the first MAC address. For certain aspects, the method further includes receiving a second frame comprising an indication of a second MAC address, wherein the second MAC address is different than the first address; and processing the received second frame based on the second MAC address, such that the processing of the second frame is different than the processing of the first frame.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication at a network entity are described. A user equipment (UE) may obtain identification information for a device and may assist in establishing credentials by which the device accesses a wireless network, e.g., a cellular network. The UE may establish a connection with the wireless network using its own credentials. A device subscription administration server, which may be an entity within the wireless network core, may authenticate the device based on the identification information, which may include registering the device to access the wireless network, e.g., using different credentials than those of the UE, by associating the device identification information with the credentials of the UE. Once registered, the device may communicate with the wireless network. The device subscription administration server may then establish access parameters and communicate them to the UE, which may transmit them to the device over communication link.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed in the detailed description include metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) isolation schemes with continuous active areas separated by dummy gates. A MOS device includes an active area formed from a material with a work function that is described as either an n-metal or a p-metal.

The dummy gate is made from a material having an opposite work function relative to the material of the active area. For example, if the active area was a p-metal material, the dummy gate would be made from an n-metal, and vice versa.
