Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide an apparatus for wireless communications. The apparatus generally includes a processing system configured to generate a frame based on a compressed response frame format.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus is a first wireless device that may be configured to receive a data confirmation message from a second wireless device. The data confirmation message may indicate whether the second wireless device successfully received data transmitted to the second wireless device. The first wireless device may be configured to determine whether the second wireless device is associated with the first BSS or a second BSS different from the first BSS based on the received data confirmation message and on a MAC header of the received data confirmation message. The first wireless device may be configured to transmit in a time period to a third wireless device based on the determination of whether the second wireless device is associated with the first BSS or with the second BSS different from the first BSS.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. In one aspect, an apparatus is configured to determine a multicast schedule for communicating data associated with a service over an NDL and to transmit the multicast schedule to at least one other wireless device.
Abstract:
Various aspects are provided related to techniques for dynamic sensitivity control. Modification and enhancements to dynamic sensitivity control operations are described that address hidden node issues and provide fairer access to wireless stations located at the edge of coverage of an access point. Aspects of these modifications and enhancements can be combined to provide different variants of the dynamic sensitivity control operations.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for numerology and frames for neighbor aware networks (NAN) in the sub-1 GHz (S1G) band. According to certain aspects, an apparatus for wireless communications is provided. The apparatus generally includes a processing system configured to: determine occurrence of a first type of discovery window for a network that occurs according to a first interval, and determine occurrence of a second type of discovery window for the that occurs according to a second interval shorter than the first interval; and a first interface is configured to output, for transmission in the network, at least one of time synchronization information or service information during at least one of the first type of discovery window or the second type of discovery window.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for using a shortened block acknowledgement (BlockAck) frame capable of acknowledging fragments. Such a shortened BlockAck frame may include a bitmap field having a shorter length than that of a basic BlockAck frame in the IEEE 802.11 standard (i.e.,
Abstract:
A method of communication includes exchanging, at a first device, a negotiation message with a second device. The method also includes determining, at the first device, whether to send a traffic message during a neighbor aware network (NAN) data link (NDL) time block based on the negotiation message.
Abstract:
A method of communication includes detecting receipt of an advertisement message by a first communication circuitry while monitoring communications transmitted according to a first communication protocol. The advertisement message may include an information element indicating that a second device is available to participate in a first local ad hoc wireless network using a second communication protocol. The method further includes, based on the detecting receipt of the advertisement message, enabling a second communication circuitry of the first device for forming the first local ad hoc wireless network between the first device and the second device.
Abstract:
In some examples, a method includes generating, at a first device, a paging message including an indication of whether the first device is available for a particular time period during which devices of a data link group of a neighbor aware network (NAN) are configured to operate in an active operating mode. The method also includes sending the message from the first device to one or more devices of the data link group of the NAN.
Abstract:
In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be an AP. The AP determines an interference metric of a BSS having a plurality of STAs. The AP is in the BSS. The interference metric indicates a degree of interference in the BSS caused by one or more hidden nodes associated with the plurality of STAs. The AP determines whether the interference metric meets a threshold. The AP transmits, to the plurality of STAs, a frame including an indicator when the interference metric meets the threshold. The indicator indicates to each of the plurality of STAs to enable a medium reserving procedure. The medium reserving procedure reserves a medium for data transmission.
