Publication number: 20230009359Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for analyzing management frames for multiple basic service sets (BSSs). In one aspect, a wireless node may obtain a first management frame from a wireless local area network (WLAN) apparatus, the WLAN apparatus operating multiple virtual access points (VAPs) respectively corresponding to multiple BSSs. The wireless node may determine whether the first management frame includes a BSS profile of a BSS associated with the wireless node based, at least in part, on an arrangement of a plurality of BSS profiles within one or more management frames. The wireless node may determine to further process the first management frame based, at least in part, on a determination that the first management frame includes the BSS profile of the BSS associated with the wireless node.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2022Publication date: January 12, 2023Inventors: Abhishek Pramod Patil, Yongchun Xiao, Ravi Gidvani, Sandip HomChaudhuri, Pradeep Kumar Yenganti, Arul Davidson Emmanuel, James Simon Cho, Padmanabhan Venkataraman Karthic, George Cherian, Alfred Asterjadhi, Jouni Kalevi Malinen

Patent number: 11509419Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for acknowledgement and retransmission, and more specifically, to methods, devices and systems that enable a secondary wireless channel to provide acknowledgements of data transmitted on a primary wireless channel concurrently with the reception of additional data on the primary wireless channel. In some implementations, a transmitting device may transmit wireless packets including multiple codewords to a receiving device via a first wireless channel. The receiving device may attempt to decode the received codewords based on primary information in the codewords. The receiving device may then transmit to the transmitting device, via a second wireless channel, a codeword acknowledgement that identifies codewords that the receiving device did not successfully decode. The transmitting device may then transmit parity information to the receiving device via the first wireless channel that aids the receiving device in decoding the identified codewords.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: QUALCOMM INCORPORATEDInventors: James Simon Cho, Youhan Kim, Tao-Fei Samuel Ng, Vincent Knowles Jones, IV
