Abstract: Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) using non-overlapping Resource Unit (RU) groupings may be provided. A first computing device may associate to a first Access Point (AP) at a virtual Media Access Control (MAC) address. Next, the first computing device may associate to a second AP at the virtual MAC address. Then data from a data frame may be replicated to a first one or more RUs in a channel. The first one or more RUs may be assigned to the first AP. Data from the data frame may then be replicated to a second one or more RUs in the channel. The second one or more RUs may be assigned to the second AP and may not overlap the first one or more RUs.

Abstract: Multi-Class Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) scheduling may be provided. A plurality of network devices may be assigned a transmission window for channel access. The plurality of network devices may include a first number of client devices and a second number of client devices. A first signal may be sent to the first number of network devices. The first signal may enable the first number of network devices to the channel access in a first portion of the transmission window. An amount of data to be exchanged by each of the second number of network devices may be determined. Based on the determined amount of data to be exchanged, a schedule may be determined for the channel access for each of the second number of network devices in a second portion of the transmission window. A second signal may be sent to the second number of network devices based on the determined schedule. The second signal may enable the second number of network devices to the channel access in the second portion of the transmission window.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include apparatuses, systems, and methods for extending a QoS indicator through WLAN to an electronic device in a heterogeneous network. The method comprises receiving, at a second wireless network, a packet from a first wireless network including a first quality of service (QoS) indicator for a first protocol of the first wireless network. The method further comprises determining a second quality of service (QoS) indicator for a second protocol of the second wireless network based on the first QoS indicator and network conditions of the second wireless network. The method further comprises transmitting the packet in accordance with the second QoS indicator.

Abstract: The present technology allows coordination of channels of private wireless networks utilizing shared licensed and unlicensed spectrum. Wireless network operators in an enterprise location register to participate in a consortium and register licensed, shared, and unlicensed spectrum resources to be shared with other members of the consortium. The wireless network operators request an allocation of spectrum resources from the consortium. The consortium generates a radio resource management (“RRM”) plan for shared use of the licensed, shared, and unlicensed spectrum resources. The consortium combines the allocated licensed, shared, and unlicensed spectrum from each of the wireless network operators to meet the target RRM plan. The consortium monitors spectrum utilization to dynamically update the RRM. The consortium monitors spectrum utilization in real time to determine how closely the RRM plan matches the resources allocated to each wireless network operator.

Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a process of evaluating any number of different identity providers (IDPs) and their respective set of credentials that are used to authenticate corresponding users to assist with the onboarding of the different IDPs in connection with Wi-Fi identity federations. In particular, the process allows a person's electronic identity and attributes (stored across one or more IDPs) to be determined once using a standard. Once trust has been established for the user, that trust can then be utilized across a number of different systems (e.g., Single-sign on). The same trust determination can be used without the need for the authenticity of the user identity to be re-evaluated with each new access request.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, methods, computer readable medium, and circuits for transmitting, from an access point (AP), a multi-link device (MLD) grouping to a station device (STA); transmitting, from the AP, a policy to accept energy efficiency instructions that includes multi-link operation (MLO) in an energy conservation mode; transmitting, from the AP, instructions to reduce battery consumption by the station by limiting MLO operations and activating a single radio of a plurality of radios on the STA, wherein a remainder of the plurality of radios are inactive and powered off; determining, at the AP, that activity from the STA is increasing; and transmitting a wake-up message to one or more of the inactive radios on the STA.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for generating a pairwise transient key security association (PTKSA) by: providing a first media access control (MAC) address that is shared by multiple access points (APs), the first MAC address corresponding to an infrastructure comprising the multiple APs, and each AP of the multiple APs having a respective AP MAC address; providing a second MAC address to a station (STA); and establishing a secure link between the STA and the infrastructure using the first MAC address and the second MAC address to derive a pairwise transit key (PTK) for the secure link, wherein the secure link is between the STA and the multiple APs.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises: classifying, by a controller device, a first access point device in a WLAN as a leader access point for a wireless client device, and at least a second access point device as a follower access point; and allocating, to the leader access point, a shortened medium access control layer timer (“timer”) that is shorter than a prescribed timer used by the follower access point, the shortened timer causing the leader access point to respond to reception of a wireless data packet from the wireless client device by transmitting an acknowledgment to the wireless client device upon expiration of the shortened timer; the prescribed timer causing the follower access point to defer to the leader access point based on the follower access point waiting for at least expiration of the prescribed timer before selectively transmitting a corresponding acknowledgment in response to receiving the wireless data packet.
