Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for enabling communications in a wireless local area network (WLAN). A wireless transmit and receive unit (WTRU) may receive, from an access point (AP), a management frame comprising capability information. The capability information may comprise an indication of support for reception via non-contiguous channels. The WTRU may transmit, on a condition that reception via non-contiguous channels is supported, at least one data packet, to the AP, via multiple non-contiguous channels. The multiple non-contiguous channels may be used simultaneously.

Abstract: A method performed by a STA may comprise receiving a frame, from a first AP including an indication of a configuration change counter (CCC) associated with a second AP. The CCC may be an unsigned integer that increments when an update to one or more AP parameters of the second AP has occurred. The method may further comprise establishing a first wireless link with the first AP and establishing a master key via at least the first wireless link.

Abstract: A method for receiving a backoff value at a wireless station is presented. A traffic indication map is received at the station, wherein a backoff number is implicitly assigned to the station based on a position of the station within the traffic indication map. The backoff value is determined by multiplying the backoff number by a predetermined time value.

Abstract: A method performed by STA may comprise receiving, from a first AP, a first beacon frame comprising a first relay information element including a first field that indicates whether a root AP BSSID field is included in the first relay information element, determining that a first root AP BSSID field is included in the first relay information element and determining that the first AP is a relay AP of a root AP identified by the first root AP BSSID field. The method may further comprise receiving, from a second AP, a second beacon frame comprising a second relay information element including a second field that indicates whether a root AP BSSID is included in the second relay information element and determining that a root AP BSSID field is not included in the second information element and determining that the second AP is a root AP.

Abstract: A system and method for mapping and transforming email messages to communication stream messages are described. An email message is processed by a mapping engine which extracts elements of the email message, maps and transforms the extracted elements of the email message to a communication stream message to be presented via a communication stream system.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for enhancements in email communication. In some embodiments, address-context information of an email message is rendered to aid the user in various user interface scenarios. These scenarios include user interfaces for a Reply All command and a Send command. The activation of the Reply All command in some embodiments is enabled with a predefined gesture on the user interface that is different from a gesture or gestures used for other commands such as the Reply command. The gesture required for the activation of the Send command can be changed based on the command that was activated to create the email message to be sent.

Abstract: A wireless station comprises a receiver that is configured to receive a frame from an access point (AP). The frame comprises a physical layer header. The physical layer header includes an indication of a color associated with the AP. A processor in the STA is configured to enter a power save state based on the color associated with the AP not matching a stored AP color of an AP that the STA is associated with. An AP that performs a similar function is also disclosed.

Abstract: Enhanced protocols and devices may be used to alleviate loss of spectrum efficiency in wideband transmission. The protocols may implement a wideband transmission opportunity (TXOP) truncation where one or more of the channels involved in communication over the wideband are released. In one scenario, an access point (AP) may receive, from a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU), a first CF-End frame that includes a duration field and a basic service set identifier (BSSID) field that includes an individual/group bit. On a condition that the individual/group bit of the BSSID field has a value of one (1), the AP may determine that a scrambling sequence of the first CF-End frame indicates a bandwidth associated with a transmit opportunity (TXOP) being truncated by the WTRU. The AP may then transmit a second CF-End frame at the bandwidth indicated by the scrambling sequence of the first CF-End frame.

Abstract: The disclosed badge creation systems and methods aim at reducing queuing time at badge preparation and distribution. The invention discloses creating a pre-printed badge with locally printed label, a partially locally printed badge, a fully locally printed badge, or a combination of these; determining privacy policy compliance for a selected badge type; and specifying a compliant dataset that is privacy policy compliant in accordance with the privacy compliance determination.

Abstract: A method and apparatus may be used in wireless communications. The apparatus may be an access point (AP), and may transmit a power save frame. The power save frame may include one or more Uplink (UL) Transmission Times (ULT)s. The apparatus may determine that a station (STA) did not transmit during its respective ULT. The AP may transmit another power save frame. The other power save frame may include a modified ULT. The modified ULT may be for a STA that did not transmit during its respective ULT. The other power save frame may include an unmodified ULT. The unmodified ULT may be for a STA that did not transmit.

Abstract: A cloud marketplace includes a network of data centers that collectively allow users to search and purchase products, including applications and extensions to applications. Each data center supports a marketplace module that executes on computing resources to offer users the products and receive and send product metadata descriptive of the products. Each product has a distribution list which specifies one or more data centers as a potential destination to list the product. The distribution list supports region-specific synchronization of products and product listings and can be updated automatically responsive to region-specific policies or regulations to list, delist, or relist products in one or more regions.

Abstract: An effective strategy should result in reduced resource consumption in association with an event. Reducing time at a bottleneck in event check-in would be considered a positive result. However, it is desirable to maintain privacy policy compliance. Utilizing the techniques described in this paper reduces time at check-in related to physical badge preparation and distribution while maintaining privacy policy compliance. The system and method can include pre-event activities, event-concurrent activities, and post-event activities related to accuracy, precision, aesthetics, coordination, and learning in association with badge preparation and distribution.
