Abstract:
Apparatuses, computer readable media, and methods for received signal strength indicator (RSSI) thresholds for transitions are disclosed. An apparatus comprising processing circuitry is disclosed, where the processing circuitry is configured to associate with a first access point (AP), the first AP being part of an extended service set (ESS), decode a frame from the first AP, the frame including an ESS report element, the ESS report element including a recommended basic service set (BSS) transition threshold within the ESS field, and decode a beacon frame from the first AP. The processing circuitry may be further configured to respond to a measured RSSI of the beacon frame being below a value indicated by the recommended BSS transition threshold within the ESS field, by initiating a transition to a second AP.
Abstract:
Embodiments of a high efficiency (HE) access point (HE AP) and HE station (HE STA) are generally described herein. The HE AP may transmit a frame that includes a transmit power envelope element to indicate local maximum transmit power constraints for an operating bandwidth of the HE AP on a per-segment basis. The operating bandwidth may be configurable for division into segments of a configurable segment size. The transmit power envelope element may include: a transmit power information field that includes: a local maximum transmit power count subfield that indicates the operating bandwidth, and a segment size subfield that indicates the segment size; and for each of the segments, a local maximum transmit power per segment field that indicates a local maximum transmit power for the segment.
Abstract:
Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of multiband wireless communication. For example, a multiband wireless communication device may include a receiver to receive a first message from a mobile device, the first message including multiband capability information indicating a plurality of supported wireless communication bands of the mobile device; a controller to select a selected wireless communication band from the plurality of supported wireless communication bands; and a transmitter to transmit a second message to the mobile device, the second message including an indication of the selected wireless communication band.

Abstract:
A wireless communication device, system and method. The device comprises a memory and processing circuitry coupled to the memory. The processing circuitry has logic to cause transmission of a first frame to a wireless access point (AP), the first frame including information regarding a location of the device, the information regarding a location of the device including information regarding a current location of the device or information regarding a target location to result from movement of the device. The processing circuitry is further to process a second frame from the AP, the second frame including a list of one or more roaming candidate APs, wherein the list is based on the information regarding the location of the device in the first frame. The processing circuitry is further to cause scanning of one or more channels corresponding to the one or more roaming candidate APs in response to the second frame, and transition to one of the one or more roaming candidate APs after causing scanning.

Abstract:
In one example, a method for providing probe responses in a wireless communication network includes determining, in response to a broadcast probe request from a station, to respond to the broadcast probe request based on whether the station previously acknowledges a previous broadcast probe response from an access point. Additionally, the method includes transmitting a probe response to the station based on the determination.
Abstract:
Techniques for presenting venue based services in a WLAN environment are provided. Specifically, methods that when taken alone or together, provide a device or group of devices with an efficient way of accessing venue based applications and advertisements while reducing application pollution. The present disclosure includes a system that provides a user with automatic network and application discovery while in the vicinity of a venue. If the system detects that the application is not installed in the wireless device, the venue specific application is presented to the user for download and install. The system can also recognize a user's preferences and tailor the application and advertisement provided accordingly.
