Abstract: A host clock value may be provided to a client device. An Access Point (AP) may obtain a Timing Synchronization Function (TSF)-based time stamp. Next, the TSF-based time stamp may be placed in an Information Element (IE) that was intended to contain follow up information. The IE may then be transmitted.

Abstract: Time synchronization distribution in a network may be provided. Time synchronization may be performed by an Access Point (AP) with a plurality of client devices. Next, based on information received from performing the time synchronization with the plurality of client devices, it may be determined that a first client device of the plurality of client devices is a representative client device. Then, for a predetermined time period, time synchronization with the first client device and not with others of the plurality of client devices may be performed. The data associated with the time synchronization with the first client device may be broadcast to others of the plurality of client devices.

Abstract: Ranging and timing may be provided. A station may send an action frame. The action frame may include an Identifier (ID) associated with an upcoming Timing Measurement (TM)/Fine Timing Measurement (FTM) session. The action frame may indicate a purpose of the upcoming TM/FTM session. Next, the station may send, subsequent to sending the action frame, a TM/FTM session request associated with the action frame. The station may then perform the purpose indicated by the action frame.

Abstract: Location-aware spatial reuse may be provided. First, an Overlapping Basic Service Set (OBSS) transmission to be received at a device may be detected by a first Access Point (AP). Then the location of the device may be determined. Next, based on the determined location, it may be determined that the device is out of range of the first AP. Then, in response to determining that the device is out of range of the first AP, the first AP may perform an OBSS Packet Detect (PD) based Spatial Reuse (SR) transmission without reducing a transmit (Tx) power for the transmission.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that are directed to an access point for supporting multiple basic service sets (BSSs), such that the access point is configured to transmit an uninterrupted sequence of beacons for each of the BSSs followed by one or more groups of multicast frames. In one aspect, the access point may send multicast frames for each of the BSSs after the sequence of beacons. In another aspect, the access point may send multicast frames for one of the BSSs after a first sequence of beacons and send multicast frames for other BSSs after subsequent sequences of beacons.

Abstract: In one embodiment of a networking module, a first block receives a serial digital media signal, and provides a parallel digital media signal based on the serial digital media signal. A second block, operative with the first block, stores the parallel digital media signal in a corresponding slot in an outgoing frame, and sends the outgoing frame in response to receiving an incoming frame.

Abstract: A buffer ring is utilized to track and control the distribution of information. Index variables that refer to storage locations or slots in the buffer ring are utilized to track the receipt and distribution of information. The variables initially point to the same slot. As information is received a status indicator associated the slot is checked and if the location is free either the product information elements or addresses of where the product information are entered in the slots. They are tracked by a producer variable that is incremented to indicate the next available slot. Slots between the consumer variable and the producer variable define a segment of the buffer associated with a particular thread. The information is forwarded to a thread based upon the variables. As product information elements are forwarded control of the buffer ring is obtained and the variables determine a buffer segment that is forwarded.
