Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for coordinated spatial reuse (C-SR) framework for ultra-high reliability (UHR). Some aspects more specifically relate to one or more mechanisms according to which access points (APs) may coordinate with each other in accordance with a C-SR framework. In some implementations, a first access point (AP) may conditionally share a transmission opportunity (TXOP) for the first AP with a second AP in accordance with an interference management procedure between the first AP (and any one or more client devices of the first AP) and the second AP (and any one or more client devices of the second AP). For example, the first AP and the second AP may support one or more frame exchanges associated with an interference measurement and the second AP may share the TXOP if the second AP satisfies a transmit power constraint associated with the interference measurement.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. An access point (AP) may support sharing a portion of a transmission opportunity (TXOP) with another AP using an AP-specific AID. For example, a first AP may obtain a TXOP associated with communication via a wireless channel. The first AP may determine to allocate a portion of the TXOP to a second AP. To allocate the portion of the TXOP to the second AP, the first AP may transmit a frame that indicates one or more resources of the TXOP that are allocated to an AP identified by the frame. To identify the second AP, the frame may include an AP-specific AID selected by or otherwise assigned to the second AP. The second AP may communicate one or more frames during the portion of the TXOP allocated to the second AP.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for signaling between an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) and a non-AP MLD that support multi-link communication in a wireless local area network (WLAN). In some implementations, a multi-link association may include a first link (referred to as an anchor link) and one or more other links (referred to as auxiliary links). The signaling may include control information to activate or deactivate auxiliary links dynamically based on communication load, throughput requirements, or quality of service (QoS). The signaling also may include requests, acknowledgments, or negotiation regarding multi-link connections. Furthermore, signaling and timing information may be used to coordinate when auxiliary links are used for communication or when to promote an auxiliary link to an anchor link.

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.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for enhanced bandwidth negotiation. Some implementations more specifically relate to request-to-transmit (RTS) and clear-to-send (CTS) frame designs that support bandwidth negotiations over a range of bandwidths achievable in accordance with the IEEE 802.11be amendment, and future generations, of the IEEE 802.11 standard. In some implementations, a bandwidth negotiation frame (such as a CTS or RTS frame) may be configurable to support bandwidths greater than 160 MHz. In some aspects, the bandwidth negotiation frame may conform to a legacy control frame format. More specifically, one or more bits of a service field associated with the legacy control frame format may be repurposed to carry enhanced bandwidth information. In some aspects, a recipient of a bandwidth negotiation frame may interpret one or more bits of the service field to carry enhanced bandwidth information when the frame is transmitted by a non-legacy transmitting device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first device may receive signaling associated with a traffic class from a second device. The first device may determine that the traffic class is included in a set of known traffic classes based on a set of features associated with the signaling. In response to determining that the traffic class is included in the set of known traffic classes, the first device may use a machine learning model to obtain a prediction of an application associated with the signaling. The prediction may be based on the set of features. The machine learning model may be trained at the first device or the second device. The first device may receive information associated with the machine learning model from the second device.

Abstract: Techniques related to wireless communication are disclosed. Some aspects of the disclosure relate to devices and methods for improving a quality of service (QoS) by reporting near-real-time feedback relating to a delay experienced by packets queued for transmission, and dynamically scheduling a wireless station to transmit and meet its QoS. A wireless station (STA) obtains one or more packets for transmission, the packets being associated with a delay condition. The STA outputs for transmission a delay status report that includes information relating to the delay condition associated with the one or more packets. In response, the STA obtains a resource allocation for transmission of the one or more packets according to the information relating to the delay condition. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first wireless device (e.g., station (STA), access point (AP)) may transmit to a second wireless device during a service period, an initiating frame using a transmit beam that is based on a first beam training procedure performed between the devices prior to the service period. The first wireless device may perform a second beam training procedure during the service period based on an absence of a response frame from the second wireless device, based on an indication within the response frame received from the second wireless device, or based on identification of a change in a wireless channel relative to a previous beam training interval or previous service period. The first wireless device may then communicate one or more messages with the second wireless device using one or more beams that are based on the second beam training procedure.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Described techniques relate to a soft access point (AP) in a multi-link operation including a first radio frequency link for control communications and a second radio frequency link for data communications. Described techniques further relate to a transfer of an AP role in a wireless local area network operating in accordance with an multi-link operation. Described techniques further provide for assisting, at an AP (which may be a soft AP), peer to peer communications between non-AP multi-link devices (MLDs) in a WLAN operating in accordance with an MLO.

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.
