Abstract: Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) Quality of Service (QoS) in overlapped administrative domains may be provided. A first Access Point (AP) may detect at least a second AP in a Co-Channel Interference (CCI) range. A micro-transaction auction between the first AP and at least the second AP may be established, and the first AP may provide compensation to second AP to acquire an agreement, from the second AP, to forgo transmitting during an upcoming service period. Next, the first AP may schedule transmissions for the service period and then transmit in the service period without interference from the second AP.

Abstract: An arrangement of three radios maybe provided. The three radios define first and second outer data links and a middle data link. Access to the arrangement of three radios can be biased to the middle data link in one direction upon a data transmission through the first and second outer data links being dominate in an opposite direction. Data transmission with enhanced multi-link single radio (eMLSR) client devices can be prioritized lower than data transmission with simultaneous transmit and receive radio (STR) client devices and non-simultaneous transmit and receive radio (NSTR) client devices. A radio can be configured for data transmission with a client device. The range of the radio is limited when the data traffic through the radio exceeds a determined number of bytes of data in a determined amount of time.

Abstract: A system includes a memory and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory. The processor, in response to determining that a first number of transmissions over a first link with a first frequency has failed, selects a second link with a second frequency for transmission. The second frequency is lower than the first frequency. The processor also, in response to determining that a second number of transmissions over the second link has failed, one or more of (i) stop the transmissions over the second link or (ii) begins transmissions over a third link with a third frequency. The second number is greater than the first number.

Abstract: A method includes grouping a plurality of access points based on a proximity of the plurality of access points to each other and determining, based on AFC reports for each of the plurality of access points, a first frequency band in which a threshold number of the plurality of access points are prevented from operating or are limited to operating at a first power that is lower than a maximum allowed standard power. The method also includes determining whether power cutoff in the first frequency band should be static or dynamic and if the power cutoff should be static, instructing the plurality of access points to use a portion of the first frequency band. The method further includes, if the power cutoff should be dynamic, instructing a first subset of the plurality of access points to operate at the first power in the first frequency band.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for reducing collisions in a wireless network with overlapping basic service sets by synchronizing contention slots among stations (access points or non-access point clients), some of which are out of range, competing for the use of the wireless medium. In some embodiments, the contention slots of competing stations are synchronized by controlling the time of transmission and the time of the spacing between frames to be an integer multiple of the time of a contention slot. In some embodiments, slot boundaries are enforced by controlling guard intervals or by trigger-based uplink communications. In other embodiments, a central network controller, such as a network controller, synchronizes slots when an access point or station joins the wireless network or uses a neighbor discovery protocol among access points. The contention slots are synchronous in all cases throughout the overlapping basic service sets.

Abstract: Techniques for peer-to-peer (P2P) transmission using interference alignment are disclosed. These techniques include calculating one or more precoder matrices and one more decoder matrices relating to interference alignment for data transmission between a plurality of wireless stations (STAs). The techniques further include initiating P2P transmission between the plurality of STAs using the one or more precoder matrices and the one or more decoder matrices, the P2P transmission including: simultaneously transmitting data between at least two pairs of STAs, of the plurality of STAs, using the one or more precoder matrices and the one or more decoder matrices for interference alignment of the simultaneous transmissions.

Abstract: Disclosed methods and systems for efficiently gathering reports from stations coupled to an access point via a wireless network. In some cases, the reports may be attached to block acknowledge frames, which often occur. Alternatively, when multiple stations operate with assigned resource units during a transmission opportunity (TXOP), the reports are embedded in the spare capacity of a physical protocol data units used during the TXOP.

Abstract: Bypassing radar in wide Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) channels utilizing puncturing may be provided. A first client device may be classified as eligible for puncturing and a second client device may be classified as not eligible for puncturing. Next, it may be determined that a subchannel in a bandwidth range should not be used. Then, in response to determining that the subchannel in the bandwidth range should not be used, the first client device may be steered to a first subset of the bandwidth range and the second client device may be steered to a second subset of the bandwidth range. The second subset of the bandwidth range may be smaller than the first subset of the bandwidth range.

Abstract: Seamless client roaming for Multi-Link Device (MLD) clients may be provided. First, a Traffic Identifier (TID)-to-link map may be established by an Upper Service Access Point (U-SAP) of a multi-AP MLD entity that assigns subsets of TIDs to at least two links of the entity. For example, a client device logically associates with the U-SAP, while the client device physically connects to a first and second AP of the entity on a respective first and second link, where the first and second AP include first and second Lower Service Access Points (L-SAPs) and are non-collocated. Next, using the map, data received at the U-SAP is directed over one of the two links for transmission to the client device. Further, frame aggregation and block acknowledgment functions may be performed by one of the first or second L-SAP based on whether data transmission is over the first or second link.
