  • Patent number: 12299523
    Abstract: An interactive data system in which a user, scanning a tag such as a QR-code, is directed to a destination (which may be one of a number of different destinations) which is determined by a profile of the user, which profile is established beforehand. Optionally access to a destination is also determined by an access permission which may be granted to the user. In one example a user, scanning a menu of food and beverage offerings, is directed to a choice of food and beverage which is dependent on the user's likes and dislikes, and dietary and similar factors.

  • Publication number: 20250150806
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for multi-link probing enhancements for more seamless roaming. Some aspects more specifically relate to various formats of multi-link elements via which a non-access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) may request the profile information associated with multiple AP MLDs and via which an AP MLD (or an AP affiliated with the AP MLD) may provide the requested profile information. In some examples, profile information associated with multiple AP MLDs may be requested or provided, or both, via a single multi-link element in accordance with one or more of the various formats. A non-AP MLD or an AP MLD may use such a single multi-link element to request or provide MLD-level information associated with the multiple AP MLDs or to request or provide link-level information associated with the multiple AP MLDs, or any combination thereof.

  • Publication number: 20250150978
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for dynamic transmit power control. Some aspects more specifically relate to dynamically enable transmit power during a transmission opportunity (TxOP) to minimize the transmit power being used for message transmissions. In some implementations, a wireless device may transmit, at a first transmit power, a first message that indicates that the wireless device will transmit one or more second messages during a TxOP. The wireless device may select a second transmit power for the second message(s) and a plurality of transmission parameters, wherein the second transmit power satisfies a metric for the one or more second messages. The wireless device may transmit the second message(s) during the TxOP at the second transmit power and in accordance with respective values of the plurality of transmission parameters.
