  • Publication number: 20240097840
    Abstract: Aspects relate to multi-link communication. In some examples, a communication frame carries a multi-link information element (ML IE). The ML IE includes a bitmap and one or more information sub-elements. In some examples, the bitmap indicates the links of a set of radio links to which the information sub-elements apply. In some examples, a frame may carry multiple ML IEs. In some examples, different ML IEs in the same frame may include the same bitmap, where the different ML IEs may carry different information sub-elements for the radio links indicated by the bitmap. In some examples, an ML IE serves to indicate that information sub-elements that are located in the frame body of the frame at a location that precedes the ML IE in the frame body apply to different radio links than the radio links indicated by the bitmap of the ML IE.

  • Publication number: 20240088958
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first wireless device (e.g., station (STA), access point (AP)) may transmit to a second wireless device during a service period, an initiating frame using a transmit beam that is based on a first beam training procedure performed between the devices prior to the service period. The first wireless device may perform a second beam training procedure during the service period based on an absence of a response frame from the second wireless device, based on an indication within the response frame received from the second wireless device, or based on identification of a change in a wireless channel relative to a previous beam training interval or previous service period. The first wireless device may then communicate one or more messages with the second wireless device using one or more beams that are based on the second beam training procedure.

  • Publication number: 20240089730
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems that facilitate mobility of wireless communication devices configured for multi-link operation (MLO). Particular aspects more specifically relate to facilitating fast basic service set (BSS) transitions by wireless communication devices that support MLO. For example, some aspects provide support for station (STA) multi-link device (MLD) roaming between access point (AP) MLDs, from an AP MLD to a non-MLO AP, or from a non-MLO AP to an AP MLD. In some aspects, a STA MLD may be configured to use a medium access control (MAC) service access point address (MAC-SAP address) of the AP MLD when re-associating or communicating with a legacy AP or with an AP MLD. In such aspects, the MAC-SAP address may be used by all STAs of the non-AP MLD for fast BSS transitions.

  • Publication number: 20240090046
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for wireless communication, including coordinated time domain multiple access (C-TDMA) among access points (APs) with different channels. In one aspect, while using C-TDMA, a first AP may receive a control message with scheduling information for a transmission opportunity (TXOP) from a second AP, which is the TXOP owner. The second AP may operate in a certain bandwidth, and first AP may operate in an overlapping portion of the same bandwidth, and also a different portion of bandwidth. The scheduling information may indicate a portion of the TXOP for the first AP to use during the TXOP. During the portion of the TXOP for the first AP, the first AP may perform a clear channel assessment (CCA) for the overlapping and non-overlapping portions, and transmit on both the overlapping and different bandwidths during the TXOP.

  • Publication number: 20240090010
    Abstract: Techniques related to wireless communication are disclosed. Some aspects of the disclosure relate to devices and methods for improving a quality of service (QoS) by reporting near-real-time feedback relating to a delay experienced by packets queued for transmission, and dynamically scheduling a wireless station to transmit and meet its QoS. A wireless station (STA) obtains one or more packets for transmission, the packets being associated with a delay condition. The STA outputs for transmission a delay status report that includes information relating to the delay condition associated with the one or more packets. In response, the STA obtains a resource allocation for transmission of the one or more packets according to the information relating to the delay condition. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

  • Patent number: 11926993
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for sharing resources of a wireless medium. Various implementations relate generally to coordinated transmit power control for sharing time and frequency resources of a wireless medium. Particular implementations relate more specifically to coordinated access point spatial-reuse-multiple-access techniques for sharing the time and frequency resources of a transmission opportunity. According to such techniques, an access point that wins contention and gains access to the wireless medium for the duration of a transmission opportunity may limit the transmit powers of the access points selected to share the time and frequency resources such that interference from the selected access points does not prevent stations associated with the winning access point from successfully decoding packets transmitted by it.

  • Publication number: 20240080146
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for preventing or reducing cross-network interference associated with a coordinated transmission on a wireless channel. A first access point (AP) of a first basic service set (BSS) and a second AP of a second BSS can concurrently use the wireless channel using a coordinated transmission during a portion of a transmission opportunity (TXOP). The TXOP owner (such as the first AP) may allocate a resource assignment to the second AP such that the resource assignment is conditionally available for use by the second AP in a coordinated transmission. The condition may prevent the resource assignment from being used by the second BSS when its use would cause interference to the first BSS. The condition may be based on a transmit power for downlink communication or uplink communication in the second BSS.

  • Publication number: 20240073739
    Abstract: Aspects are provided for BTM-based load balancing. Various aspects relate generally to a method of load balancing where an AP multi-link device (MLD) recommends that a non-AP MLD move to an indicated set of links of the AP MLD and operate on the indicated set of links without purging context between the AP MLD and the non-AP MLD. In some examples, if the non-AP MLD does not comply, then the non-AP MLD may face disassociation from the AP MLD. Some aspects more specifically relate to recommending that the non-AP MLD move to an indicated set of links of a different AP MLD and operate on the indicated set of links of the different AP MLD after performing a multi-link setup with the different AP MLD. In some examples, the AP MLD may then disassociate from the non-AP MLD.
