Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for preemptive transceiver PHY enhancements for deterministic traffic. A wireless device stores one or more physical layer (PHY) parameters determined when receiving a first wireless frame from a station (STA). The wireless device identifies a future time when the STA will transmit wireless data to the wireless device. Before the future time, the wireless device configures a PHY in the wireless device based on the one or more PHY parameters. The wireless device receives, using the configured PHY, a second wireless frame from the STA during the future time.

Abstract: Devices, systems, methods, and processes for channel selection in wireless networks for narrowband-assisted ultra-wideband (NBA-UWB) signaling and ranging. Narrowband signal overlaps the existing ISM bands and thus has high likelihood of interfering with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and other technologies used inside a network device. Therefore, selection of an appropriate target channel that may be used for UWB signaling can mitigate interference with Wi-Fi/BLE signals. A network device may receive one or more channel status messages from a plurality of neighboring network devices. The channel status messages may indicate a channel associated with a respective neighboring network device and a channel metric associated with the channel. The channel metric may indicate channel quality, traffic status, signal strength, etc. Based on a set of available channels indicated by the one or more channel status messages, the network device may select a target channel to execute a UWB signaling.

The embodiments herein can performed by a transmitting AP or a receiving AP to prevent a rogue AMP STA from transmitting or mitigate the impact the rogue AMP STA has when transmitting.
