Abstract:
In an embodiment, a system includes at least one processor having at least one core including a reservation control logic to receive a request from a user device for access at a future time to an enterprise device. The reservation control logic may grant a reservation to the user device to enable the access and schedule delivery of an authentication message to the user device including a credential to enable the user device to set up an ad hoc wireless connection with the enterprise device at the future time, without involvement of a user of the user device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes methods, apparatus, and systems related to secure device provisioning system. A first computing device comprising one or more processors and one or more transceiver components may determine data received in a data scan from a second computing device. The first computing device may determine a base Uniform Resource Locator (URL) based on the data. The first computing device may determine a domain-specific suffix based at least in part on a communication domain. The first computing device may append the base URL with a domain-specific suffix. The first computing device may identify domain-specific information from a provisioning server based at least in part on the domain-specific suffix. The first computing device may send a registration request to the provisioning server based at least in part on the domain-specific information. The first computing device may identify a registration notification received from the provisioning server.
Abstract:
Embodiments of an access point (AP), station (STA) and methods of communication are generally described herein. The AP may transmit a trigger frame (TF) that indicates resource units (RUs) that are available for contention based access by STAs for a fine timing measurement (FTM) protocol. The AP may attempt to decode one or more initial fine timing measurement request (iFTMR) frames received in the indicated RUs. The AP may transmit a broadcast acknowledgement (ACK) frame that indicates whether at least one iFTMR frame was decoded. The AP may, for a decoded iFTMR frame: allocate the RU corresponding to the decoded iFTMR frame to a corresponding STA for the FTM protocol; and transmit, in the corresponding RU, an initial fine timing measurement (iFTM) frame that includes an identifier of the corresponding STA.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to uplink location measurement report (LMR) feedback. A device may perform availability window negotiation during a negotiation phase of a location determination associated with a first initiating device of one or more initiating devices. The device may determine a status of a first LMR associated with the first initiating device. The device may cause to send a polling request to one more initiating devices during a first availability window. The device may identify a polling response from at least one of the one or more initiating devices. The device may perform one or more sounding measurements with the at least one of the one or more initiating devices during a measurement phase. The device may cause to send a trigger frame to the at least one of the one or more initiating devices.
Abstract:
Apparatuses, methods, and computer readable media for secure discovery and connection to internet of things devices in a wireless local-area network are disclosed. An apparatus of a station comprising processing circuitry is disclosed. The processing circuitry may be configured to: encode a first packet to indicate to an access point to start discovery of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and decode a second packet from the access point. The second packet may include identifications of IoT devices unauthenticated with the access point. The processing circuitry may be configured to receive a selection from an application of the station of one of the one or more identifications of the IoT devices, and encode a third packet including the identification of the IoT device and an indication that the access point is to request establishment of a secure session with the IoT device.
Abstract:
Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of negotiating a range measurement protocol. For example, an initiator station may be configured to transmit a negotiation request message to a responder station and receive a negotiation response message from the responder station to negotiate a range measurement protocol to perform a range measurement procedure with the responder station, the negotiation request message including an initiator protocol element including an indication of one or more initiator range measurement protocols supported by the initiator station, the negotiation response message including a compatibility indication to indicate whether or not at least one of the initiator range measurement protocols is compatible with at least one responder range measurement protocol supported by the responder station; and based on the compatibility indication, select to perform the range measurement procedure with the responder station or to abort communication with the responder station.
Abstract:
Certain embodiments herein are directed to enabling service interoperability functionality for wireless fidelity (WiFi) Direct devices connected to a network via a wireless access point. A WiFi Direct device may identify various other WiFi Direct devices on a WiFi network for performing a requested service, such as printing content or displaying content to a screen. In so doing, the device may share information associated with an access point to which the device is connected with the other devices, which may also share information associated with an access point to which they are connected. In this way, WiFi Direct devices may discover their connectivity with respect to other devices to utilize a broader array of connection options for implementing a desired service, and hence, may leverage application programming interface (API) modules directed at providing service interoperability functionality between software applications and services requested by the software applications.

Abstract:
An apparatus of a wireless communications device to transmit a sounding announcement frame (SAF) for use in a round-trip estimation to a receiving station, and associated method are provided. The apparatus is configured to encode an encoded field of the SAF that is one of a frame control field (FCF) or a sounding dialog token field (SDTF) of a null data packet announcement (NDPA) packet that forms the SAF to indicate to the receiving station that a communication different from a trigger frame may follow. The apparatus is also configured to configure the wireless device to transmit the NDPA packet to one or more stations.
