    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media include an apparatus of an access point (AP) or station (STA) comprising processing circuitry configured to decode a legacy preamble of a physical layer (PHY) protocol data unit (PPDU), determine whether the legacy preamble comprises an indication that the PPDU is an extremely-high throughput (EHT) PPDU, and in response to the determination indicating the PPDU is the EHT PPDU, decode the EHT PPDU. Some embodiments determine a spatial stream resource allocation based on a row of a spatial configuration table, a row of a frequency resource unit table, a number of stations, and location of the station relative to the number of stations in user fields of an EHT-signal (SIG) field. To accommodate 16 spatial streams, some embodiments extend the length of the packet extension field, extend signaling of a number of spatial streams, and/or extend a number of EHT-SIG symbols.

    Abstract: For example, an apparatus may include circuitry and logic configured to cause a wireless communication station (STA) to determine a plurality of uplink (UL) sounding groups of STAs; transmit at least one trigger frame to at least one UL sounding group of the plurality of UL sounding groups to trigger a measurement procedure with the UL sounding group, the trigger frame including one or more Identifiers (IDs) to identify one or more STAs of the UL sounding group; to receive one or more UL Null Data Packet (NDP) sounding frames from the one or more STAs of the UL sounding group in response to the trigger frame; to transmit a downlink (DL) NDP Announcement (NDP-A) frame to the plurality of UL sounding groups; and to transmit a DL NDP sounding frame to the plurality of UL sounding groups.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media for location measurement reporting in a wireless network are disclosed. An apparatus of a responder station (RSTA) is disclosed, the apparatus including processing circuitry configured to decode a null data packet (NDP) announce (NDPA) frame from an initiator station (ISTA), the NDPA frame including an indication of a temporary key and an identification of the RSTA. The processing circuitry further configured to decode a NDP from the ISTA, the NDP including long training fields (LTFs), the NDP received on a channel. The processing circuitry further configured to determine whether the NDP from the ISTA is consistent with the NDP being generated using a temporary key shared between the ISTA and RSTA based on a comparison of the channel estimates. The processing circuitry may be further configured to determine for authentication whether the indication of the temporary key was generated based on the temporary key.

    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.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to efficient poll response frame in wireless communications. A device may cause to send a multiuser location trigger frame of subtype poll to one or more initiating station devices (ISTAs) in a multi-user trigger-based range measurement during a polling phase. The device may identify a first clear to send (CTS) frame received from a first ISTA of the one or more ISTAs during the polling phase. The device may identify a second CTS frame received from a second ISTA of the one or more ISTAs during the polling phase. The device may determine the identity of a first ISTA based on information comprised in the first CTS frame received from the first ISTA. The device may determine the identity of the second ISTA based on information comprised in the second CTS frame received from the second ISTA.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to null data packet (NDP) frame format. A device may cause to send a null data packet announcement (NDPA) frame to a responding station device (RSTA). The device may cause to send a first sounding NDP frame comprising one or more fields formatted to support 2.4 gigahertz (GHz) and 5 GHz bands in a non-trigger-based ranging measurement with the RSTA. The device may identify after a passage of a short inter-frame space (SIFS) time a second NDP frame received from the RSTA. The device may identify a location measurement report frame from the RSTA.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to an extreme high throughput (EHT) signaling structure. A device may establish a communication channel with one or more station devices (STAs). The device may generate an extreme high throughput signal field (EHT-SIG) of a header, wherein the EHT-SIG field comprises information associated with resource allocations (RUs). The device may generate a frame comprising the header. The device may assign a first RU to a first station device. The device may assign a second RU to the first station device, wherein the first RU or the second RU is an aggregation of a 26-tome RU and a neighboring RU. The device may cause to send the frame to the first station device.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to enhanced bandwidth selection for wireless devices. A device may generate a request frame with at least one of a first indication of a bandwidth for which a second device is to measure a first noise level or a second indication of a resource unit for which the second device is to measure a second noise level. The device may send the request frame to the second device. The device may identify a response frame received from the second device, the response frame having a third indication of the first noise level or the second noise level and a fourth indication of the bandwidth or the resource unit. The device may determine, based on the first noise level or the second noise level, a parameter associated with a subsequent frame to send to the second device.
