Abstract: A multi-link device (MLD) has a medium access control (MAC) layer management entity (MLME) and a station management entity (SME). The SME indicates a selected link identity (ID) to the MLME. The selected link ID is used to indicate the link being used for frame exchange between an access point (AP) affiliated with an AP MLD and a non-AP station (STA) affiliated with a non-AP MLD. One or more frames are exchanged through the link indicated by the selected link ID.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for determining whether an incident radio-frequency (RF) signal is from a known transmission source based on a match between a signature of the incident RF signal and at least one stored signature. One or more antennas can generate a plurality of electrical signals corresponding to a portion of a pulse of the incident RF signal. At least one of amplitude or phase values of a first electrical signal and phase coherent second electrical signal can be determined in the frequency domain. The signature of the incident RF signal based on at least one of amplitude or phase values of the first and the second electrical signals can be determined. This signature can be compared with stored signatures to determine whether the incident RF signal is from a known transmission source.

Abstract: eSIM software creates eSIMs within a WSP secure private network to share outside of the secure private network using information entered via a Partner user interface accessed using credentials that grant limited access to modify an eSIM profile template. Information entered by the Partner user is used to generate a requested quantity of eSIMs based on an eSIM profile template. The software provides generated eSIMs to components of the network that already exist for wirelessly distributing eSIMs to user equipment devices. Software interfaces facilitate access to a subset of information in modifying the templates, for generating eSIMs based thereon, and for storing generated eSIMs for distribution to user equipment. Transport of highly guarded security information, like master keys, outside of the secure private network does not occur. Real-time alerts notify that user-entered mismatched data precludes generation of eSIMs that will function in authenticating to the network.
