Abstract: Various embodiments of the teachings herein include a WLAN communication method. An example includes: receiving a polling request message at a client from an access point; checking whether the client is a polled client; if the client is the polled client, then sending a polling response message from the client to the access point; entering a function execution time window, and, when a moment for executing a function is reached in the function window, executing the function at the client. The function window starts when the client sends the polling response and ends before a retention time window starts. The retention time window begins with a safety time window and ends after it is expected that a polling response message will next be sent. The safety time window includes a period before a next polling cycle starts not less than an execution time of a function about to be executed.

Abstract: A first dual SIM user equipment (UE) has a first wireless connection to first Citizens Broadband radio Services Devices (CBSD) of a first network and a second wireless connection to a second CBSD of a second network. Different encryption and different frequency hopping patterns are used with regard to communicating the same voice packet information over the first and second wireless connections. The same voice information is attempted to be redundantly communicated over the two connections, e.g. concurrently or with a slight delay with regard to the two connections. The CBRS communications are typically less reliable than cellular licensed spectrum communications, and a particular encrypted voice packet may, and sometimes is lost; however, the redundancy is used to compensate for expected losses. Successfully recovered encrypted voice packets are sent from the CBSDs to a packet synchronizer which performs decryption and combines the recovered packets into a single packet stream.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic channel representations are described. Initially a sensing receiver receives a sensing transmission. The sensing receiver then generates a sensing measurement based on the sensing transmission. Thereafter, the sensing receiver generates a channel representation information of a propagation channel between the sensing receiver and a sensing transmitter based on the sensing measurement. The sensing receiver then obtains a sensing imprint representing a steady-state propagation channel between the sensing receiver and the sensing transmitter. Further, the sensing receiver compares the channel representation information to the sensing imprint and identifies a difference between the channel representation information and the sensing imprint. The sensing receiver may further send the channel representation information to a sensing algorithm manager.
