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: A method for seamless WiFi roaming of a multi-radio station when transitioning from an initial access point to a target access point, wherein the method comprises activating a second communication link between the multi-radio station and the target access point while a first communication link between the multi-radio station and the initial access point is still active, and after said activating, deactivating the first communication link between the multi-radio station and the initial access point.

Abstract: A system may include a processor, and a non-transitory computer readable medium having encoded thereon a set of instructions executable by the processor to establish a first multilink connection associated with a first basic service set and a second multilink connection associated with a second basic service set, set the second basic service set as a priority basic service set, switch an enabled link of the first basic service set on which communications are carried, and in response to determining that the enabled link of the first basic service set has been switched, switch an enabled link of the second basic service set based, wherein switching the enabled link of the second basic service set includes enabling the first link while the second link is concurrently enabled for a first duration, and disabling the second link after the first duration.

Abstract: Systems and methods use a protocol for a secure reassociation exchange. A first device can be used in the exchange and includes a circuit configured to provide at least one frame to a second device. The frame includes comprises a protected reassociation request message. Alternatively, frame can include a protected reassociation response message.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments that provide flow control for resource-constrained wireless access points. An access point service provides access to a network for wireless clients by way of a wireless network transceiver. A stop instruction is generated in response to determining that the wireless network transceiver is unable to process data received from the wireless clients. The stop instruction is sent to to the wireless clients by way of the wireless network transceiver. The stop instruction configures the wireless clients to cease sending data to the access point service.

Abstract: A management controller in a network device may support performing management operations based on management traffic communicated wirelessly via a wireless network controller of the network devices. The management controller may perform the management operations and/or to support wireless communication of the management traffic independent of operations of the network device. The management controller may be integrated into a network controller in the network device. The management traffic may comprise out-of-band (OOB) management related traffic. A direct interface may be established between the management controller and the wireless network controller, to support direct sideband communication between the management controller and the wireless network controller. The sideband interface may incorporate Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) and/or Secure Digital Input Output (SDIO) interface.
