Abstract: This disclosure provides methods and devices for introducing a power save protocol (for example, a lower power mode) for a multi-link devices (MLDs). Some aspects more specifically relate to reducing power consumption in an access point (AP) MLD, and more particularly, to a power save protocol (or a lower power mode) for an AP MLD. In some aspects, an AP MLD may initiate a lower power mode to save power for as long as possible while still maintaining minimal receive (RX) and transmit (TX) functionality. When requested by an associated station (STA), the AP MLD may then transition from the lower power mode to a higher power mode with full RX and TX functionality with a minimal delay. The described techniques may also account for trade-offs and constraints which arise due to different use cases and scenarios as well as different device configurations.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for use of a reinforcement learning (RL) model to obtain one or more parameters associated with a channel access procedure. Some aspects more specifically relate to mechanisms according to which a wireless communication device may receive information associated with the RL model and transmit a protocol data unit (PDU) during a slot that is based on an output of the model. The wireless communication device may use the RL model to perform a distributed channel access procedure in accordance with the information and may further transmit the PDU, during the slot that is based on the output of the RL model, in accordance with the distributed channel access procedure. The information associated with the RL model may indicate or configure the RL model or may indicate whether the wireless communication is allowed to retrain the RL model.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for wireless communication, including coordinated time domain multiple access (C-TDMA) among access points (APs) with different channels. In one aspect, while using C-TDMA, a first AP may receive a control message with scheduling information for a transmission opportunity (TXOP) from a second AP, which is the TXOP owner. The second AP may operate in a certain bandwidth, and first AP may operate in an overlapping portion of the same bandwidth, and also a different portion of bandwidth. The scheduling information may indicate a portion of the TXOP for the first AP to use during the TXOP. During the portion of the TXOP for the first AP, the first AP may perform a clear channel assessment (CCA) for the overlapping and non-overlapping portions, and transmit on both the overlapping and different bandwidths during the TXOP.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication at a multi-link device are described. A first multi-link device (MLD) may communicate with a second MLD in accordance with the techniques depicted herein. For instance, the second MLD may transmit an indication of at least a portion of a beacon interval timeline for communications between the second MLD and one or more first MLDs on a first radio frequency link. In some examples, the beacon interval timeline may include at least one of a beacon transmit interval, and one or more service periods, channel access over a second radio frequency link being via the one or more service periods. A service period may be scheduled for communications on the second radio frequency link. The second MLD may then communicate in accordance with at least one of the beacon transmit interval and the one or more service periods.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for managing data traffic in restricted target wake time (TWT) service periods (SPs). In some aspects, an access point (AP) receives a request frame from a wireless station (STA) associated with a client device via a peer-to-peer (P2P) link, the request frame indicating that the STA intends to exchange P2P communications with the client device during a r-TWT SP scheduled on a wireless medium. The AP obtains a transmission opportunity (TXOP) on the wireless medium during the r-TWT SP, the request frame identifying the client device. The AP transmits a trigger frame on the wireless medium responsive to obtaining the TXOP, the trigger frame allocating a portion of the obtained TXOP for P2P communications between the STA and the client device, wherein at least one of the response frame or the trigger frame indicates a Network Allocation Vector (NAV) exception for the client device.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems related multi-link wireless communication. A method may include establishing, between the first WLAN device and a second WLAN device, a multi-link association that enables a first wireless communication link and a second wireless communication link. The method may include determining a temporal key for the multi-link association. The method may include encrypting a first and second media access control (MAC) protocol data unit (MPDU) based on the temporal key. The method may include preparing a first frame including the encrypted first MPDU and a second frame including the encrypted second MPDU. The method may include assigning packet numbers from a set of sequential packet numbers to the first and second frames. The method may include transmitting the first frame over the first wireless communication link and the second frame over the second wireless communication link.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for protecting latency-sensitive communications during restricted target wake time (r-TWT) service periods (SPs). Some implementations more specifically relate to coordinated scheduling of r-TWT SPs between OBSSs. In some aspects, a first AP may coordinate with a second AP in scheduling r-TWT SPs so that latency-sensitive traffic in a first BSS does not interfere or collide with latency-sensitive traffic in a second BSS overlapping the first BSS. In some implementations, the first and second APs may schedule their respective r-TWT SPs to be orthogonal in time. In some other implementations, the first and second APs may schedule their r-TWT SPs to overlap in time, while allocating coordinated resources to concurrent or overlapping latency-sensitive traffic in the first and second BSSs (such as in accordance with one or more multi-AP coordination techniques).
