  • Publication number: 20260150103
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for increasing the transmit power of wireless communication devices operating on power spectral density (PSD)-limited wireless channels. Some implementations more specifically relate to signaling in a trigger frame to support distributed transmissions via distributed resource units (dRUs). In some implementations, an access point (AP) may transmit a trigger frame soliciting a trigger-based (TB) physical layer convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) from a wireless station (STA), where the trigger frame carries RU allocation information identifying a distributed resource unit (dRU) allocated for the STA and carries tone mapping information indicating a selected spreading bandwidth design for the wireless channel or subchannel. The AP can support channel puncturing by selecting a particular spreading bandwidth design that controls how dRUs are mapped to non-contiguous tones spanning respective spreading bandwidths.

  • Publication number: 20260136177
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems that facilitate mobility of wireless communication devices configured for multi-link operation (MLO). Particular aspects more specifically relate to facilitating fast basic service set (BSS) transitions by wireless communication devices that support MLO. For example, some aspects provide support for station (STA) multi-link device (MLD) roaming between access point (AP) MLDs, from an AP MLD to a non-MLO AP, or from a non-MLO AP to an AP MLD. In some aspects, a STA MLD may be configured to use a medium access control (MAC) service access point address (MAC-SAP address) of the AP MLD when re-associating or communicating with a legacy AP or with an AP MLD. In such aspects, the MAC-SAP address may be used by all STAs of the non-AP MLD for fast BSS transitions.

  • Patent number: 12610277
    Abstract: Aspects are provided for BTM-based load balancing. Various aspects relate generally to a method of load balancing where an AP multi-link device (MLD) recommends that a non-AP MLD move to an indicated set of links of the AP MLD and operate on the indicated set of links without purging context between the AP MLD and the non-AP MLD. In some examples, if the non-AP MLD does not comply, then the non-AP MLD may face disassociation from the AP MLD. Some aspects more specifically relate to recommending that the non-AP MLD move to an indicated set of links of a different AP MLD and operate on the indicated set of links of the different AP MLD after performing a multi-link setup with the different AP MLD. In some examples, the AP MLD may then disassociate from the non-AP MLD.

  • Publication number: 20260095935
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are contemplated for transmission of data in a wireless local area network. In embodiments, a first wireless device (AP) is configured to transmit data packets to a second wireless device (STA), and transmits an initial control frame (ICF) to the STA indicating a transmission opportunity time period (TXOP) for data transfer from the first wireless device to the second wireless device. In response to the ICF, the second wireless device returns an initial control response (ICR) indicating an unavailability time period, e.g., Coex unavailability. Alternatively, the STA may send to the AP without prompt, an unsolicited unavailability announcement (UUA) containing unavailability information of the STA. Responsive to receipt of the ICR or UUA, the AP may modify a transmission plan, e.g., shorten or cancel the TXOP, or transmit a portion of the data to another STA, etc. Power settings may be determined based on the unavailability time period.
