Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to reordering and replay detection. A device may differentiate between MAC Protocol Data Units (MPDUs) associated with old and new Pairwise Transient Key Security Associations (PTKSAs) using either an Extended Key ID mechanism or decoding with an old or a new key. The device may maintain separate replay counters for each PTKSA to enable accurate replay detection by selecting an appropriate replay counter based on the differentiation of the MPDUs. The device may compare Packet Numbers (PNs) of received frames with values of their corresponding replay counters. The device may discard any MPDUs with PNs less than or equal to a value of the corresponding replay counter associated with a respective old or new PTKSA.

Abstract: A ground transporter transports a package to a package recipient location and receives a token from a token recipient, wherein receiving the token represents a verification that the ground transporter has moved to the package recipient location. The ground transporter is configured, if the token is received, to deliver the package at the package recipient location.
