Abstract: A message may be too long to be sent all at once. For example, there may be a limit on the number of bits that can be transmitted by a device operating in a power-save mode. The disclosure relates in some aspects to sending a message over packet boundaries (e.g., several frames or sub-frames). The disclosure relates in some aspects to segmenting a Broadcast Information Block and sending the resulting segments over broadcast information window boundaries. In some aspects, this information may be sent via overhead channels. To facilitate this segmentation, information about the segmentation may be included in the information sent from the transmitter to the receiver. For example, a first segment may indicate the number of segments and subsequent segments may indicate the segment number.

Abstract: This application provides for managing usage of network-connected device(s) over a network. Some aspects provide: determining, for at least one network-connected device, altered device setting(s) feasible for an allocation amount; and sending a signal to each network-connected device affected by the altered device setting(s) to cause each affected network-connected device to operate in accordance with the respective altered device setting(s). Once each affected network-connected device is operating in accordance with the respective altered device setting(s), adjustment of device setting(s) of one or more of the network-connected device(s), such that the allocation amount is no longer feasible, causes to be determined a further adjustment of one or more others of the device settings to maintain feasibility of the allocation amount. When an amount of the adjustment is such that the allocation amount cannot be met by the further adjustment, a variance from the allocation amount is determined.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for allocating resource units (RUs) to stations (STAs) in a wireless network based at least in part on the type of data packet protocol employed by each of the STAs.

In some aspects, a wireless device may allocate relatively small RUs on a relatively frequent basis to STAs associated with UDP data transmissions, and may allocate relatively large RUs on a relatively infrequent basis to STAs associated with TCP data.
