Abstract: A device may include a plurality of processors coupled to one or more network interfaces configured to provide wireless connectivity, and a controller. The controller may be configured to establish a wireless connection via a first processor of the plurality of processors. Responsive to a trigger of the first processor scanning for one or more channels, the controller may be configured to transfer the established wireless connection from the first processor to a second processor of the plurality of processors. The second process is different from the first processor. Responsive to the second processor detecting data to be received from the established wireless connection, the controller may be configured to transfer the established wireless connection from the second processor back to the first processor.

Abstract: Systems and methods can advantageously provide a protocol. A device using the protocol can include circuitry device configured to provide at least one frame while a connection is being established. The frame includes data indicating that the device is capable of a data management multilink (DMML) operation. In some examples, the frame is provided according to an 802.11 protocol.

Abstract: Systems and methods use a protocol for disassociation/deauthentication. Some embodiments relate to a first device including a circuit configured to provide at least one frame across a connection to a second device during a disassociation operation or deauthentication operation. The frame can include data indicating at least one target access point for the second device. The frame can be provided according to an 802.11 protocol and the connection can be established by using an association or authentication operation.

Abstract: Systems and methods can advantageously provide a protocol. A device using the protocol can include circuitry configured to provide at least one frame used after an access point to station association operation. The frame includes data indicating a data pause resume request or a data on indication. In some examples, the frame is provided according to an 802.11 protocol.

Abstract: Systems and methods can advantageously provide deauthentication/disassociation frames A method includes providing, by a first device, a disassociation frame or a deauthentication frame on a first primary control channel in response to an indication of a change from the first primary control channel to a second primary control channel, and receiving, by the first device, a data frame from a second network device on the first control primary channel, the second primary control channel or a secondary channel. The method also includes providing, by the first device, another disassociation frame or deauthentication frame on the first primary control channel, the second primary control channel and/or the secondary channel associated with the data frame.
