    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for high efficiency (HE) basic service set (BSS) operations. In an implementation, a wireless station (STA) can identify a set including one or more modulation coding scheme (MCS) and number of spatial streams (NSS) tuples for HE communications in wireless local area networks (WLANs). The STA can determine whether the set is supported by a BSS and also determine that the STA is to attempt to join the BSS in response to a determination that the set is supported by the BSS. In another implementation, the STA can set a channel width capability for high throughout (HT) communications and very high throughput (VHT) communications in WLANs to be the same as a channel width capability for HE communications in WLANs, and can transmit information that indicates that the STA has the same channel width capability for HT, VHT, and HE communications in WLANs.

    Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be an AP that requests a plurality of STAs to jointly enable and disable an MRP based on at least one of that each STA of the STAs has uplink traffic with the AP or that each STA of a subset of the STAs has a hidden node. The AP receives, from the STAs, information indicating a communication metric while jointly enabling or disabling the MRP. The AP determines, based on the received information indicating the communication metric, whether the joint enablement of the medium reserving procedure improves communication for the plurality of STAs. The AP requests the STAs to jointly enable the medium reserving procedure for subsequent communication when the joint enablement of the medium reserving procedure improves communication for the plurality of STAs.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for configuring the utilization of request-to-send/clear-to-send (RTS/CTS) protocol procedures based on varying conditions at the STA. For example, an AP may identify one or more conditions, when satisfied, may trigger the STA to either enable or disable uplink (UL) transmissions associated with a RTS/CTS protocol procedure. In some aspects, an AP may determine a transmit opportunity (TXOP) threshold for an STA and may determine whether to broadcast a message having the TXOP threshold to multiple STAs including the STA or unicast the message to the STA. An STA may receive a message from an AP having a TXOP threshold and may replace, based on an indication in the received message, a current TXOP threshold in the STA with the TXOP threshold in the received message. The STA may transmit an UL RTS frame in response to a determination that a planned TXOP duration satisfies the TXOP threshold.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communications and, more particularly, to coordinating wakeup times of a receiver able to receive from both a wireless wide area network (WWAN) and a wireless local area network (WLAN). An exemplary method includes obtaining one or more messages (e.g., paging messages) via a receiver and taking one or more actions to align one or more first wakeup periods, during which the apparatus is scheduled to monitor for messages in a first wireless local area network (WLAN), with one or more second wakeup periods, during which the apparatus is scheduled to monitor for messages in a wireless wide area network (WWAN). The exemplary method continues by powering up the receiver for a duration spanning at least one of the one or more first wakeup periods and at least one of the one or more second wakeup periods, monitoring for messages in the first WLAN during the at least one of the one or more of the first wakeup periods, while the receiver is powered up for the duration, and monitoring for messages in the WWAN during the at least one of the one or more of the second wakeup periods while the receiver is powered up for the duration.

    Abstract: Techniques for reducing delay in scheduling traffic transmission in an overlapping basic service set (OBSS) environment by modifying backoff mechanisms are disclosed. In some examples, a device (e.g., station (STA) or access point (AP)) may decode at least a portion of a preamble of a received packet to determine whether the packet is sent by a member of an OBSS (e.g., STA or AP from a different BSS). Backoff operations are typically deferred as a result of the decoding. Aspects of the present disclosure provide a method, apparatus, and system to reduce delay in scheduling traffic transmissions by resuming the backoff operations prior to expiration of the period reserved for an OBSS packet by the network allocation vector (NAV). In other words, the device may not honor the NAV of the OBSS packet, and instead perform spatial reuse by transmitting another packet (or signal) on the same frequency channel during the NAV of the OBSS packet.
