Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided from the perspective of a station, an access point and an intermediate device in order to provide a channel state information (CSI) report from a station to an access point with which this station is unassociated while protecting the privacy of the CSI report. Even though the CSI report is to be transmitted from a station to an access point with which the station is unassociated, the CSI report is transmitted via one or more secure connection links, such as by being encrypted while being transmitted via the one or more connection links. The CSI report is therefore not exposed via an unsecured connection link to a third party, thereby protecting the privacy of the CSI report.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems provide recovery for concurrent reception for non-primary channel access. In the context of a method, the method includes transmitting a first message via a first primary channel associated with a basic service set, the first message comprising first information indicating a first capability of an apparatus to communicate via non-primary channel access; and receiving a second message from a second apparatus via the first primary channel in response to the first message, the second message comprising second information indicating a second capability of the second apparatus to communicate via the non-primary channel access.

Abstract: Embodiments include methods for a user equipment (UE) configured to operate in a radio access network (RAN). Such methods include obtaining data for transmission during a particular one of a plurality of periodic occasions during which the UE has been granted resources for uplink data transmission. The data includes first and second protocol data units (PDUs) associated with respective first and second hybrid ARQ (HARQ) processes. At least one of the first and second PDUs is for retransmission after failed transmission during an earlier one of the occasions. Such methods include selecting the first PDU or the second PDU for transmission during the particular occasion based on at least one of the following: priorities of logical channels with data included in the first and second PDUs. and whether one or both of the first and second PDUs are for retransmission. Other embodiments include complementary methods for a RAN node.

Abstract: In one example aspect, a method of transmitting packets wirelessly is provided. The method comprises, for each packet, requesting to transmit the packet, waiting for a respective random or pseudorandom time period before transmitting the packet, and transmitting the packet containing a respective data portion, wherein a position of the respective data portion in the packet is selected such that a time interval between transmission of respective data portions in adjacent packets is a constant time interval.

Abstract: A prioritization method for random access, comprising receiving one or more first packet flow for transmission, wherein the one or more first packet flow is assigned a respective access category queue, initiating a random access procedure for the first packet flow, receiving a packet of a second packet flow for transmission, wherein the second packet flow is assigned an access category queue having priority over the access category queue assigned to the first packet flow, issuing an indication configured to interrupt the random access procedure for the first packet flow, and performing a random access procedure for the received packet of the second packet flow wherein idle time slots previously sensed by the random access procedure for the first packet flow are considered as sensed also for the random access procedure for the second packet flow. Corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also disclosed.
