Abstract: Provisioning a requesting device is provided using extended identity attestation for the requesting device. A provisioning request is received at a device provisioning system. The provisioning request includes a registration identifier provided by the requesting device. A plurality of extended attestation components is accessed in an enrollment datastore of the device provisioning system. Each extended attestation component identifies an external computing system. One of the extended attestation components in the enrollment datastore is selected based on the received registration identifier. Execution of the device attestation is initiated at the external computing system identified by the selected extended attestation component to yield an attestation result. Satisfaction of a validity condition by the attestation result is detected. The requesting device is provisioned from the device provisioning system, responsive to detection that the attestation result satisfies the validity condition.

Abstract: Embodiments of a wireless communication station and methods for reducing data starvation are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a wireless communications station passes data packets stored in a buffer to a higher-level medium access control (MAC) process, in sequential order based on a sequence number (SN) subfield of the data packets. A watchdog timer is activated upon encountering a missing data packet during the passing. Upon expiration of the watchdog timer, the wireless communication station transmits a delete block acknowledgment (DELBA) frame to terminate a block acknowledgment (ACK) agreement with an originator of the data packets.

Abstract: Embodiments of techniques to perform passive and active scanning in a wireless network are presented herein.

Abstract: Briefly, a method and apparatus to estimate a collision rate parameter by manipulating a first probability value with a second probability value. The first probability value may be the probability of an attempt to transmit a data packet within a desired time slot of a contention window. The second probability value may be a probability of data packet transmitted from the desired time slot within the contention window to collide with an at least one other data packet transmitted by other station of wireless communication network.

Abstract: Embodiments of a wireless device and methods for reducing period scans using motion diction are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. In some embodiments, a wireless device determines whether or not to refrain from performing periodic scanning based on one or more motion indicators determined from measured signal levels received from a currently associated access point. In some embodiments, a wireless device determines whether or not to refrain from performing periodic scanning based on a rate-of-change of received signal strength indicators (RSSIs) of beacon frames received from a currently associated access point.

Abstract: Briefly, a method and apparatus to a channel access parameter to mobile units of a wireless communication network. The channel access parameter may be selected based on the probability of collisions between packets of the wireless network.
