Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for concurrent link setup and downlink data retrieval, e.g., for high efficiency WLAN. An access point (AP) may send a trigger element that allocates a resource for pre-association transmissions with the AP. The trigger element may allocate the resource for random access and/or deterministic access. The AP may receive, from an unassociated STA, a first frame via one or more resource units (RUs) allocated in the trigger element. The AP may determine a pre-association identifier (PID) that identifies the unassociated STA. The AP may send the PID to the unassociated STA, for example, in the trigger element or in the multi-STA ACK. The AP may send a second frame associated with a multi-user (MU) transmission that includes the PID. The AP may send a trigger frame that includes the PID.

Abstract: In some implementations, a system may receive inventory data associated with a data storage system. The inventory data identifies file paths for objects stored in the data storage system. The system may detect patterns in prefixes of the file paths using one or more trained machine learning models. The system may normalize the prefixes of the file paths based on the patterns detected in the prefixes. The system may detect datasets of the objects stored in the data storage system based on the normalized prefixes. The system may compare prefixes associated with the detected datasets with prefixes associated with a set of registered datasets that are registered with a metadata repository. The system may determine, based on comparing the prefixes associated with the detected datasets and the prefixes associated with the set of registered datasets, a respective registration classification for each detected dataset.
