Abstract: A capability allocation method employed by a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) device includes: during association between the Wi-Fi device and another Wi-Fi device, setting up a first capability allocation of a first non-AP station (STA); and after the first non-AP STA associates with a first AP, changing the first capability allocation of the first non-AP STA in the absence of re-association. Each of the Wi-Fi device and the another Wi-Fi device includes a plurality of stations. The first AP is affiliated to the another Wi-Fi device. The first non-AP STA is affiliated to the Wi-Fi device.

Abstract: A method of beacon reception for a communication device in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method comprises starting to receive a beacon from an access point (AP) of the wireless communication system, determining whether a specific element of the beacon is received, and determining whether to receive only a portion of the beacon according to the specific element.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for reordering. The method includes receiving, by a terminal device, a stream of data units from a wireless network. The data units have respective sequence numbers. Further, the method includes reordering at a protocol layer in a protocol stack, the data units for a next process according to the sequence numbers, determining a dependency relationship of a data unit to one or more missing data units that have sequence numbers prior to the data unit, and advancing, out of order of the sequence numbers, the data unit to the next process when the data unit is independent of the one or more missing data units.

Abstract: A method for forwarding packets first checks a forwarding table of a bridge to find whether the destination information for a packet is included in the forwarding table. If the information is found, this packet is forwarded to the destination through a physical layer directly without passing through the bridge. This method improves the efficiency of the frame aggregation of an AP (Access Point) and enhances the throughput in a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network).

Abstract: The method for detecting continuous channel noise comprises the steps of: setting a threshold value of channel busy time and a threshold number of channel busy condition; setting a count value to an initial value; obtaining a measured value of the channel busy time during a beacon interval; determining whether the measured value of the channel busy time is larger than or equal to the threshold value of the channel busy time; if yes, the count value is increased by 1, and if not, the count value is reset to the initial value; and determining whether the count value is larger than or to equal to the threshold number of the channel busy condition; if yes, a noise disturbance alarm is generated, and if not, next channel busy time is obtained during a next beacon interval so as to determine whether the count value is increased or not.

Abstract: The method and apparatus for distributing keys according to the IEEE 802.11r standard broadcast at least one notify packet from a first access point to other access points within an extended service set when a station has connected to the first access point. If the R0 key holder identifier in a key request packet coming from a second access point matches the R0 key holder identifier held by the first access point, a key response packet is forwarded to the second access point to speed up the handoff procedure between the station and the second access point.
