Abstract: Systems and methods use a protocol for multilink operations. The systems and methods can use a circuit configured to provide frames across a connection comprised of one or more links to a second device. The circuit is configured to use a beacon reception pattern where first intervals on a first link are alternately disposed with second intervals on a second link or to select a beacon reception pattern for a first link, a second link, and a third link in response a low battery condition, a delivery traffic indication map setting, or a roam decision.

Abstract: Systems and methods use a protocol for multilink operations. The systems and methods can use a circuit configured to provide frames across a connection comprised of one or more links. The circuit 1. is configured to use during an idle condition a lower power consuming link of the links for link management operations, 2. is configured to use during the lower power consuming link of the links for beacon synchronization operations, or 3. is configured to select the links in response to traffic parameters and a power consumption characteristic of the links.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for parallel scanning of channels in communication networks are described herein. A parallel scanning device performs a scanning operation that includes parallel (i.e., simultaneous) scanning of channels that are in a common frequency band or in different frequency bands. The parallel scanning of channels results in a reduction of scan time, which reduces power consumption. Furthermore, a scanning operation may undesirably interrupt and/or delay normal communication traffic to and from the parallel scanning device, and the comparatively shorter scan time resulting from the parallel scanning operation can reduce such interruption and/or delay.

Abstract: Various example embodiments are disclosed. According to an example embodiment, an apparatus may include at least one processor and at least one memory. The at least one memory may include computer-executable code that, when executed by the processor, is configured to cause the apparatus to send a message to a node in wireless communication with the apparatus, the message indicating a transition by the apparatus from multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) to single-input single-output (SISO), and transition from wireless MIMO communication with the node to wireless SISO communication with the node after sending the message to the node.

Abstract: A communication circuitry includes a media access control including a first wireless interface and a second wireless interface. An application processor includes a network stack connected with the media access control. A communication packet is routed from the first wireless interface to the second wireless interface or from the second wireless interface to the first wireless interface without sending the communication packet to the network stack.

Abstract: A system and method of creating more than one communication interface between a wireless device using a single, dual-radio transceiver by leveraging the basic service set (BSS) and radio measurement information. A wireless device operating in multiple-in, multiple-put (MIMO) mode maintains a first communications interface with an access point while establishing a second communications interface by downgrading the existing MIMO connection to a single-in, single-out (SISO) connection. The downgrading of the MIMO connection to a SISO connection frees up a radio signal processing chain to establish a second communications interface utilizing the BSS and radio measurement information from the first communications interface.
