  • Publication number: 20260247352
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for generating enhanced trigger frames. Some implementations more specifically relate to trigger frame designs that support gains in data throughput achievable in accordance with the IEEE 802.11be amendment, and future generations, of the IEEE 802.11 standard. In some implementations, an enhanced trigger frame may be used to solicit a non-legacy trigger-based (TB) physical layer protocol convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) from one or more wireless stations (STAs). In some implementations, the enhanced trigger frame may be configurable to support multiple versions of the IEEE 802.11 standard. For example, an enhanced trigger frame may be configured in accordance with a legacy trigger frame format or a non-legacy trigger frame format. Thus, when configured in accordance with the legacy trigger frame format, the enhanced trigger frame can also be used to a legacy TB PPDU from one or more STAs.

  • Publication number: 20260247369
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices, and systems that support information exchanges for coordinated access point (CAP) operations. Some aspects more specifically relate to transmitting and receiving CAP-specific parameters to facilitate transmit opportunity (TXOP) sharing between a first access point (AP) and one or more second APs. For example, the first AP (such as a sharing AP) may use CAP-specific parameters provided by the one or more second APs (such as shared APs) to determine a CAP sharing schedule for a TXOP. The CAP-specific parameters may include static capability parameters and dynamic parameters. The static capability parameters may include supported CAP modes, association identifiers (AIDs), and processing times, while the dynamic parameters may include medium access demands, traffic priority information, and service period information. The first AP may advertise the CAP sharing schedule to the one or more second APs via an announcement frame.

  • Patent number: 12713454
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for channel access techniques in a multi-hop framework for ultra-high reliability (UHR). Some aspects more specifically relate to a transmission opportunity (TXOP) sharing mechanism according to which wireless communication devices can relay data frames along multiple hops within a same TXOP, a coordinated medium access scheme associated with relaying data frames between a root access point (AP) and a wireless station (STA) via multiple service periods, and various signaling mechanisms and frame formats according to which wireless communication devices can exchange or negotiate information associated with a coordinated medium access scheme. In some implementations, a coordinated medium access scheme may be associated with multiple time epochs (each associated with a service period) and differentiated channel access across the multiple time epochs may facilitate the relay with or without TXOP sharing within the associated service periods.

  • Patent number: 12713471
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems and methods for requesting wireless resources for peer-to-peer (P2P) communications. In some implementations, a wireless communication device transmits a frame over a wireless medium to an access point (AP), the frame including a medium access control (MAC) header carrying a request for the AP to allocate part of a transmission opportunity (TXOP) for P2P communications between the wireless communication device and a client device. The wireless communication device receives a trigger frame allocating a portion of the TXOP for the P2P communications, and transmits or receives P2P data to or from the client device over the wireless medium during the allocated portion of the TXOP. In some instances, the MAC header of the frame includes a Quality-of-Service (QoS) Control field carrying the request. In some other instances, the MAC header of the frame includes an Aggregated-Control (A-Control) subfield carrying the request.

  • Publication number: 20260197638
    Abstract: A communication system is provided in which a Basic Service Set (BSS) privacy enhancement (BPE) access point (AP) communicates with a BPE station (STA). Prior to association, the STA may generate a STA-ID by inputting current addresses of the AP and STA with an AP identity key to a hash algorithm. The STA may use a Pre-Association Security Negotiation (PASN) procedure to discover the AP. The STA may transmit PASN MSG1 including the STA-ID to the AP. The AP may verify that the STA is authorized to receive AP security parameters using the STA-ID. Responsive to successful verification, the AP may transmit PASN MSG2 to the STA. The STA and AP may derive a transient key (TK) using information from the PASN messages and may convey management frames encrypted using the TK. The management frames may be used to associate the STA with the AP.

  • Patent number: 12672169
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for transmission opportunity (TXOP) sharing and resource allocation mechanisms in systems involving multiple peer-to-peer (P2P) sessions. Some aspects more specifically relate to how such mechanisms can facilitate multi-station (STA) TXOP sharing or STA offloading in accordance with relative resource availabilities across a set of access points (APs), or any combination thereof. In some implementations, an AP can allocate respective portions of a resource unit (RU) allocation (during a shared TXOP of the AP) to respective P2P sessions at multiple respective STAs. Additionally, or alternatively, an AP can use transmit power control to facilitate simultaneous TXOP sharing across multiple STAs. Additionally, or alternatively, first AP can offload a STA to a second AP in accordance with relative resource availabilities at the first AP and the second AP. As such, devices may achieve greater scalability for high-density P2P session deployments.

  • Patent number: 12659094
    Abstract: Aspects relate to multi-link communication. In some examples, a communication frame carries a multi-link information element (ML IE). The ML IE includes a bitmap and one or more information sub-elements. In some examples, the bitmap indicates the links of a set of radio links to which the information sub-elements apply. In some examples, a frame may carry multiple ML IEs. In some examples, different ML IEs in the same frame may include the same bitmap, where the different ML IEs may carry different information sub-elements for the radio links indicated by the bitmap. In some examples, an ML IE serves to indicate that information sub-elements that are located in the frame body of the frame at a location that precedes the ML IE in the frame body apply to different radio links than the radio links indicated by the bitmap of the ML IE.
