  • Patent number: 11882598
    Abstract: An apparatus (e.g., an access point (AP)) announces to one or more stations (STAs), in a frame, one or more preamble detection (PD) channels in a frequency segment such that each of the one or more STAs monitors a respective one of the one or more PD channels to detect any transmission on the one or more PD channels. The apparatus then wirelessly communicates with at least one of the one or more STAs on one of the one or more PD channels during a transmission opportunity (TXOP).

  • Patent number: 11877321
    Abstract: A multi-link device (MLD) monitors each of first and second links in a multi-link operation in wireless communications, with the first link being a primary link and the second link being a secondary link. The MLD obtains a transmission opportunity (TXOP) on one of the first link and the second link as a result of performing a contention-based channel access on the first link and the second link. The MLD checks channel status of the other of the first link and the second link. The MLD then transmits one or more frames on the first link but not on the second link, on the second link but not on the first link, or on both the first link and the second link synchronously, responsive to the channel status of the other link given the TXOP being obtained on the one of the first link and the second link.

  • Publication number: 20230345534
    Abstract: Techniques pertaining to transmission protection with static puncturing in wireless communications are described. An apparatus (e.g., a station (STA)) receives a control frame with bandwidth signaling that is transmitted in a channel width of the control frame including one or more non-punctured non-primary subchannels within the channel width. The apparatus then determines the one or more non-punctured non-primary subchannels within the channel width of the control frame and also determines whether to transmit a response control frame responsive to receiving the control frame. Depending on a result of the determining, the apparatus either refrains from transmission of the response control frame or transmits the response control frame in at least one subchannel within the channel width of the control frame.

  • Patent number: 11762834
    Abstract: Herein is a self-tuning database management system (DBMS) storing JavaScript object notation (JSON) documents and operating a JSON datatype as native to the DBMS. In an embodiment, a computer hosts a DBMS that executes a data definition language (DDL) statement that defines, in a database dictionary of the DBMS, a JSON document column of a database table that stores JSON documents as instances of the JSON datatype that is native in the DBMS. The DBMS may autonomously set or adjust configuration settings that control behaviors such as a default width of a JSON document column, in lining or not of the JSON document column, kind and scope and duration of indexing of the JSON document column, and/or caching of the JSON document column such as in an in memory columnar unit (IMCU). The DBMS may use the various configuration settings to control how JSON documents and the native JSON datatype are stored and/or processed.
