摘要： Embodiments of an access point (AP), station (STA) and method of communication are generally described herein. The AP may be configurable for multi-band operation in a plurality of frequency bands, each frequency band comprising one or more channels. The AP may select a subset of the frequency bands for which the AP is to request per-band channel availability information from the STA. The AP may transmit a Trigger Frame (TF) for a multi-band bandwidth query report polling (MB-BQRP) to request the per-band channel availability information. The AP may receive an uplink frame that includes a multi-band bandwidth query report (MB-BQR) that indicates the per-band channel availability information. The AP may determine, based on the MB-BQR, for an uplink transmission by the STA: one or more frequency bands of the subset of frequency bands, and one or more corresponding channels.

摘要： Methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media for an access point (AP), where an apparatus of an AP comprises processing circuitry configured to: decode a first defer signal frame, determine the first defer signal frame is from a station (STA) associated with the AP, and encode, for transmission, in a subsequent contention period a second defer signal frame. The processing is further configured to: determine the first defer signal is from the STA associated with the AP based on one of: a basic service set (BSS) subfield in a physical (PHY) portion of the first signal frame, a transmitter address in a media access control (MAC) portion of the first defer signal frame, a receiver address in the MAC portion of the first defer signal frame, or a service field of the first signal field.

摘要： This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to scheduling asynchronous transmissions by other access point (AP) devices in a multi-AP environment. A method may include a coordinating AP identifying a first time for a first coordinated AP device to send a first physical layer (PHY) protocol data unit (PPDU) using a first frequency segment; identifying a second time different than the first time for a second coordinated device to send a second PPDU using a second frequency segment; generating one or more frames comprising indications that the first AP device is to send the first PPDU using the first frequency segment and that the second AP device is to send the second PPUD using the second frequency segment; and causing to send the one or more frames to the first coordinated AP device and the second coordinated AP device.

摘要： This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to aligned channel access. A device may perform a first backoff countdown on a first link associated with a first station device (STA) of the device, wherein the device is a multi-link device (MLD). The device may detect a second backoff countdown associated with a second STA of the MLD after the first backoff countdown reaches zero. The device may determine to hold the first backoff countdown at zero based on the value of the second backoff countdown. The device may transmit in synchronization on the first link and on the second link from the first STA and the second STA respectively based on holding the first backoff countdown at zero.

摘要： Embodiments of an access point (AP) configured for extremely high throughput (EHT) operation may be configured to operate as a triggering AP for a trigger-based (TB) peer-to-peer (P2P) communication between a triggered direct (TD) station (STA) and a TD peer STA. The AP may encode a Direct Link Announcement (DiL-A) frame to schedule the TD STA for a direct link transmission to the TD peer STA. The DiL-A frame may be encoded to include a Duration/ID field. The AP may set the Duration/ID field of the DiL-A frame to a remaining duration of a transmission opportunity (TXOP) when the TD peer STA is an EHT STA that supports TB P2P operation (e.g., to allow the TD peer STA to ignore the NAV set by the DiL-A frame). The AP may set the Duration/ID field of the DiL-A frame to a response time for the TD STA to respond to the DiL-A frame when the TD Peer STA is a legacy STA (e.g., to allow the TD peer STA to set its NAV based on the response time).

摘要： An access point (AP) station (STA) configured for communicating with another STA within a synchronized transmission opportunity (S-TXOP) may encode an S-TXOP trigger for transmission at a beginning of the S-TXOP. The S-TXOP trigger may be followed by a plurality of slots within the S-TXOP. The S-TXOP trigger may include a synchronization information field, a station information list field and an optional schedule information field. The STA information list field may include an AID of each STA that is scheduled to communicate during the slots and an indication of whether semi-static configuration is enabled. When the S-TXOP trigger includes the optional schedule information field, it may include resource information for each slot which may include a slot identifier and a slot type indicator. The resource allocation for each slot further includes a scheduling information element when the semi-static configuration for the corresponding slot is not enabled.

摘要： This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to multi-AP resource sharing. A device may participate in a set of coordinated access points (APs) for coordinating a sharing of one or more resources. The device may evaluate whether there is data to be transmitted to at least one associated station device. The device may, based on the evaluation, perform an action associated with acquiring a first transmit opportunity (TXOP) to be shared with one or more candidate APs of the set of coordinated APs.

摘要： For example, a wireless communication station (STA) may be configured toto transmit a reservation signal over a wireless medium at a reservation signal transmission time, for example, based on a determination that high-priority data of a high-priority Access Category (AC) is queued at the STA. For example, the reservation signal transmission time may be based on an end of a predefined time duration from a start of a contention period. For example, the reservation signal may be configured to indicate a busy Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) to a receiving STA. For example, the STA may be configured to contend the wireless medium according to a high-priority contention policy, for example, after transmission of the reservation signal, to obtain a Transmit Opportunity (TxOP) for transmission of the high-priority data.

摘要： This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to multi-link operation. A device may configure a single N×N transmit (TX)/receive (RX) radio to a plurality of 1×1 TX/RX radios, where N is a positive integer. The device may monitor a first channel of a plurality of channels to determine its availability. The device may monitor a second channel of the plurality of channels to determine its availability. The device may identify a first control frame received from an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) on the second channel. The device may cause to send a second control frame to the AP MLD on the second channel. The device may configure back to a single N×N TX/RX radio to receive a data frame.

摘要： This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to multi-user uplink channel sounding. A device may determine a channel sounding sequence with one or more access points (APs), wherein the channel sounding sequence comprises a null data packet announcement (NDPA) communicated with at least one of the one or more APs. The device may determine a first group of station devices (STAs) associated with a first basic service set (BSS). The device may cause to send a trigger frame to the first group of STAs to solicit an uplink NDP from each STA of the first group of STAs. The device may identify a first uplink NDP received from a first STA of the first group of STAs. The device may identify a second uplink NDP received from a second STA of a second group of STAs.
