    Abstract: Method, system, and/or computer readable medium for roaming on a Wi-Fi network having a plurality of access points including: determining that a new AP actor provides a station (STA) actor enhanced characteristics as compared to an existing AP actor, wherein the enhanced characteristics include one or more of a stronger connection, lower congestion, and/or increased bandwidth; transferring required state from the existing AP actor to the new AP actor; and transferring at least some of data wherein the at least some data includes one or more of medium access control service data units (MSDUs), aggregated-MSDUs (A-MSDUs), medium access control protocol data units (MPDUs), and/or aggregated-MPDUs from the existing AP actors to the new AP actor.

    Abstract: Method, system, and/or computer readable medium for establishing an upper upper medium access controller (upper UMAC); establishing a connection, between the upper UMAC and a station (STA) actor, over a plurality of access point actors (AP actors), wherein each of the AP actors includes a lower upper medium access controller (UMAC), a lower medium access controller (LMAC), and a physical layer (PHY); transmitting one or more proto-medium access controller protocol data units (proto-MPDUs) from the upper UMAC to the plurality of AP actors; attaching PHY and MAC metadata to the one or more proto-MPDUs; and forming, at each of the plurality of AP actors, a PHY protocol data unit (PPDU), wherein each PPDU is formed from a corresponding one of the one or more proto-MPDUs.

    Abstract: Time synchronization distribution in a network may be provided. Time synchronization may be performed by an Access Point (AP) with a plurality of client devices. Next, based on information received from performing the time synchronization with the plurality of client devices, it may be determined that a first client device of the plurality of client devices is a representative client device. Then, for a predetermined time period, time synchronization with the first client device and not with others of the plurality of client devices may be performed. The data associated with the time synchronization with the first client device may be broadcast to others of the plurality of client devices.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for providing access to wireless networks may include receiving, by a wireless network access provider from a user device, a request to access a wireless network. The method may include obtaining data representing a policy applicable to the access request, sending the access request, augmented with the policy, to an identity provider associated with the user and having no pre-existing relationship with the access provider, and receiving, from the identity provider, an access request response indicating whether or not the policy is met. The method may include communicating, to the wireless device, an indication that the access request has been accepted, if the policy is met, or an indication that the access request has been rejected, if the policy is not met. The access provider and identity provider may be members of an identity and access federation that communicate over a dynamically established secure connection.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for controlling link selection and aggregation across multiple wireless networks based on a location of a mobile device. A location of a mobile device in a physical environment can be identified. At least portions of the physical environment can be in wireless range of a first wireless network and a second wireless network. Whether to access network services through either or both the first wireless network and the second wireless network can be determined based on the location of the mobile device in the physical environment. Further, a first interface at the mobile device to the first wireless network and a second interface at the mobile device to the second wireless network can be selectively toggled according to whether it is determined to access the network services through either or both the first wireless network and the second wireless network based on the location.
