  • Publication number: 20240340885
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods for providing unsolicited unavailability announcements to manage the co-existence of Wi-Fi and other technologies (such as Bluetooth) and to manage infrastructure and peer-to-peer connections in a wireless communication system. A wireless device may establish multiple wireless connections on a set of radio resources. The wireless device may transmit an unsolicited unavailability announcement frame, which may include information indicating a time period of future unavailability for the wireless device on the set of radio resources. Such an unsolicited unavailability announcement frame may also include information regarding the device's current availability, for example during which the device plans to initiate a transmit opportunity.

  • Publication number: 20240334485
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods for transmitting and receiving multi-user request-to-send and clear-to-send frames in a wireless communication system. An access point wireless device may establish wireless connections with multiple wireless devices. The access point wireless device may transmit a multi-user request-to-send frame to the wireless devices. The multi-user request-to-send frame may indicate a transmit opportunity duration and allocate frequency resource units on which to transmit clear-to-send frames to the wireless devices. The wireless devices may transmit the clear-to-send frames on the allocated frequency resource units. The clear-to-send frames can include an indication of partial or full availability for the transmit opportunity.

  • Publication number: 20240040424
    Abstract: A Wi-Fi device in a WLAN network includes a processor and a transceiver adapted to be coupled to an antenna, and a power saving medium access in congested network environments algorithm that is activated after a Wi-Fi connection is established with its access point (AP). A Traffic Indication Map (TIM) bitmap in a TIM information element received in a beacon frame from the AP is analyzed to determine whether more than a predetermined number of bits (X) are set to indicate the AP has ?1 buffered frame for ones of the Wi-Fi devices to conclude whether the WLAN is in a congested environment. When in a congested environment, transmissions responsive to the beacon are postponed by entering a sleep mode for a random period of time (P). After P expires, the sleep mode is exited and a poll frame is transmitted to the AP to try to gain medium access.

  • Publication number: 20230085657
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for address changing schemes for a multi-link device in a wireless communications system. Some embodiments include a privacy enhanced (PE) access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) that includes one or more affiliated APs operating on different links. The PE AP MLD can generate a first randomized OTA MLD address based at least on the MLD address of the PE AP MLD for a first affiliated PE AP (PE AP1). The PE AP MLD can transmit a first data transmission using the first OTA MLD address where the first data transmission includes an encrypted aggregated MAC service data unit (A-MSDU) subframe that includes the MLD address. The PE AP MLD can correlate the MLD address of the PE AP MPL with multiple addresses comprising: the first OTA MLD, a unique MLD address, and a Media Access Control (MAC) service access point (SAP) MLD address.

  • Publication number: 20230089319
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for address changing schemes in a wireless communications system. Some embodiments include an access point (AP) that can establish two or more address profiles with a station (STA), establish a schedule for switching from a first address profile to a second address profile, where the first and second address profiles are of the two or more address profiles, and transmit a first data transmission using the first address profile. Some embodiments include switching from the first address profile to the second address profile based on the schedule, and transmitting a second data transmission using the second address profile. The schedule can be based on a randomized time synchronization function (TSF). The AP can establish a joint algorithm with the STA, and use the joint algorithm determine the first and the second address profiles as well as transition times for the schedule.

  • Publication number: 20230086527
    Abstract: The subject disclosure provides systems and methods for low-latency point-to-point communication between electronic devices. In one or more implementations, low latency can be achieved by including data in transmission units, in order of priority up to a maximum duration for the transmission unit. In an example in which the communication occurs over a WiFi channel, the transmission unit may be a multi-TID AMPDU, and the priority may be based on a Quality of Service (QoS) category as identified by the traffic identifier (TID). The communication may be exchanged using a periodic access window that can be adaptively offset, to efficiently share bandwidth with other device pairs on the same wireless channel. Base and client devices can be time synchronized, and transmission opportunity (TXOP) bursting can be allowed, in one or more implementations.

  • Publication number: 20230055972
    Abstract: A Fine Time Measurement (FTM) authentication system and method include performing a FTM transaction comprising at least one FTM-ACK message pair transmitted and received via a first communication channel between two endpoints, where the at least one FTM-ACK message pair contains timestamp values of message departure time and message arrival time during the FTM transaction. At least one authenticating value indicative of timestamp values of the at least one FTM-ACK message pair arrival and departure times during the FTM transaction is then transmitted via a second communication channel. FTM timestamp values are recovered from the received at least one authenticating value, which are compared with the received FTM timestamp values. The received FTM timestamp values can be authenticated if there is a match between the recovered FTM timestamp values and the received FTM timestamp values.
