    Abstract: A 6 GHz Wi-Fi device must obtain operability information to operate at a location. Providing a user with an operability indicator for a 6 GHz Wi-Fi device at a location can conserve resources and enhance the quality of experience for a user. A user interface can receive a location input from a user interface, for example, a user input or pre-filled information. The location can be determined based on the location input, for example, one or more location parameters. The one or more location parameters can be previously stored or retrieved from, for example, a network resource, such as a geocoding service. The user interface can provide an operability indicator to the user interface that indicates whether the 6 GHz Wi-Fi device is operable at one or more 6 GHz frequencies and a transmit power associated with allowed or permitted one or more 6 GHz frequencies.

  • Patent number: 12695555
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A transmitting device, such as a network entity, may transmit an indication (e.g., via control signaling) to a receiving device, such as a user equipment (UE), indicating that a secure downlink message is scheduled for transmission to the UE. The UE may transmit a sounding reference signal (SRS) to the network entity in response to the control signaling, and the network entity may determine a channel estimate and construct interference based on the channel estimate. The network entity may encode the secure downlink message according to an orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) precoding scheme and may add the interference to the encoded secure downlink message over a slot duration. The network entity may transmit the encoded secure downlink message, including the added interference, to the UE. The UE may decode the encoded secure downlink message based on the OTFS precoding scheme.
