    Abstract: Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of establishing a mesh data path. For example, a first Neighbor Awareness Networking (NAN) device may be configured to transmit a NAN data path request to a second NAN device to request to establish a NAN data path between the first NAN device and the second NAN device, the NAN data path request including a first path information attribute corresponding to a mesh data path; and to process a NAN data path response from the second NAN device, the NAN data path response including a second path information attribute corresponding to the mesh data path, the second path information attribute including a path status indicator to indicate whether mesh data path routing to the destination address of the mesh data path is successful.

    Abstract: Devices and methods of providing a NAN schedule update are generally described. NAN devices communicate data on a schedule of repeating time blocks in which transmission in different time blocks are on different channels. A public action frame indicates in a subfield that the frame is a schedule update frame. The schedule update frame provides attributes to have general schedule update for availability time, existing unicast service or existing multicast service. The schedule update frame also contains a schedule update control field that indicates in a subfield that the current time block is cancelled or extended or provides a general schedule update. The schedule update control field also indicates a reason for the schedule update.

    Abstract: Logic to “loosely” manage synch frame transmissions in a synch network via the devices synched to the network that implement the logic. Logic may distributedly adjust the frequency of attempting synch frame transmissions without estimating the size of the neighborhood. Logic in devices of a synch network to let each device maintain a Transmission Window (TW). Logic to determine the frequency of attempting synch frame transmissions based upon the TW. Logic to increase TW if the device detects a synch frame transmission. Logic to decrease TW if the device successfully transmits a synch frame. Logic to balance power consumption and discovery timing by adjusting the decrease in TW responsive to a synch transmission in relation to the increase in TW responsive to detection of a synch transmitted by another device.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and computer-readable media related to phishing and brand protection via copycat detection. In some embodiments, a plurality of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol durations may be determined. A plurality of data streams may be generated by executing a plurality of sliding window operations using a respective shifting window for each of the plurality of OFDM symbol durations. Each of the plurality of data streams may be dissected into a respective plurality of segments using a total number of cyclic prefix (CP) lengths associated with the respective shifting window, wherein each segment of the respective plurality of segments is a vector. A plurality of vector sums corresponding to each of the plurality of data streams may be determined. A Wi-Fi signal may be detected when one of the plurality of vector sums exceeds a threshold.

    Abstract: Embodiments for an access point (AP) and method for communication in a basic service set (BSS) of a management domain are generally described herein. The AP may be configured to maintain a list of BSSs that belong to the management domain and retrieve, for a station (STA) configured to perform spatial reuse over overlapping basic service set (OBSS) physical layer convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data units (OBSS PPDUs) belonging to OBSSs from the management domain, at least one parameter for a spatial reuse rule that proportions overlapping basic service set packet detection levels (OBSS_PD) and transmit power (TxPower) levels for the STA. In an embodiment, the AP may retrieve, for a STA configured to perform spatial reuse over OBSS PPDUs not belonging to OBSSs from the management domain, default parameters for a spatial reuse rule that proportions OBSS_PD and TxPower levels for the STA and encode, for transmission to the STA belonging to the OBSSs from the management domain, an indication of the at least one parameters, and encode, for transmission to the STA not belonging to OBSSs from the management domain, an indication of the default parameters.

    Abstract: An apparatus of a first high-efficiency (HE) access point (AP) or station for spatial reuse is the disclosed. The apparatus includes processing circuitry configured to: decode a first portion of a first packet; and if the first portion indicates the first packet was transmitted by a second HE AP or station and that the first packet is an overlapping basic service set (OBSS) packet, then if a preamble detect energy is below a threshold, cause to be transmitted a second packet simultaneously with a portion of the first packet after the first portion. The processing circuitry may be configured to determine the first portion was transmitted by the second HE AP or station if a field in a physical (PHY) header or a second field in a media access control (MAC) header indicate the first packet was transmitted by the second HE AP or station.

    Abstract: Embodiments of a high-efficiency Wi-Fi (HEW) station, access point (AP), and method for communication in a wireless network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the HEW station may perform random access contention with other HEW stations for uplink resources for data transmission to the HEW AP. The HEW station may determine transmission activity during a first portion of a channel sensing period, and may select a sub-channel on which transmission activity is not determined. The HEW station may transmit an announcement signal on the selected sub-channel during a second portion of the channel sensing period. The announcement signal transmission may indicate, to other contending HEW stations, an intention by the HEW station to transmit on the same selected sub-channel during a subsequent access period.
