    Abstract: One or more wireless stations operate to configure direct communication with neighboring mobile stations, e.g., direct communication between the wireless stations without utilizing an intermediate access point. A wireless station may enter an unsynchronized discovery mode, transmit, in response to receiving a subscribe message from a neighboring device, a publish message to the neighboring device, perform authentication and trusted device cluster provisioning with the neighboring wireless device, and protect transmissions using the security credentials. In the unsynchronized discovery mode, the wireless device may monitor a discovery channel for subscribe messages, e.g., from neighboring peer devices. Additionally, the trusted device cluster provisioning may provide security credentials to the wireless device. Note that protecting transmissions using the security credentials may include protecting a trusted device cluster identity, transmitted beacons, transmitted management frames, or transmitted action frames using the security credentials acquired via the trusted device cluster provisioning.

    Abstract: Various embodiments for service constraint advertisement and discovery are provided. Each wireless device in a group of wireless devices can multicast a service advertisement frame to advertise a service provided, a discovery request frame to request for a service, a discovery response frame in response of a discovery request frame if the wireless device can provide the requested service, or a discovery proxy response frame in response of a discovery request frame if another wireless device can provide the requested service. The frames include information related to one or more services and capabilities, availability schedule, frequency band in use, and other information. This allows a new device joining the group to accomplish device discovery and service discovery at the same time. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

    Abstract: Embodiments herein provide systems, apparatuses, and methods for authentication of an access point and a station in a wireless local area network. An access point and station may generate a Key Encryption Key (KEK). The access point and station may send authentication credentials encrypted based on the KEK. The access point may authenticate the station by validating the station authentication credential, and the station may authenticate the access point by validating the access point authentication credential.

    Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for implementing a target wake time (TWT) scheme that includes traffic differentiation and service period extension. For example some embodiments relate to an electronic device including a transceiver and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The one or more processors receive an indication of traffic associated with an application. The one or more processors determine information associated with the traffic and configure the TWT scheme associated with the traffic based at least in part on the determined information. The one or more processors further communicate initial information associated with the TWT scheme to an access point of a wireless network. The initial information associated with the TWT scheme can include at least one of traffic direction information, traffic pattern information, a traffic identifier (TID), or an access category, indication (ACID).

    Abstract: An apparatus for time management of a peripheral device is disclosed. A peripheral interface circuit receives information from a host circuit over a peripheral bus, the host circuit maintaining a global timebase in accordance with a first clock signal within a first clock domain. The peripheral interface circuit maintains, based om a second clock signal within a second clock domain, a first local timebase correlated to the global timebase. A peripheral control circuit operates in a third clock domain and maintains a second local timebase based on the first. The peripheral interface circuit determines phase and frequency differences between the second and third clock signals in determining a correlation between the second and first local timebases. A peripheral logic circuit in the third clock domain performs, operations that utilize a timestamp from the second local timebase, which accounts for correlation with the first local timebase.
