Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication. A device with multiple radios may establish a wireless local area network (WLAN) connection with a multi-radio gateway (i.e., a multiPHY gateway) and a wide area network (WAN) connection with a base station. The multi-radio device may receive a proxy capability indication from the multi-radio gateway and may transmit connection information relating to the second wireless connection. The multi-radio device may then establish a tunnel to the base station utilizing a proxy entity within the multi-radio gateway and close a physical (PHY) connection of the second wireless connection in order to save power. The multi-radio gateway may receive messages (e.g., paging, broadcast, or multicast messages) from the base station on behalf of the multi-radio device using the proxy entity, and tunnel the messages through to the multi-radio device using the WLAN wireless connection.
Abstract:
Methods, devices, and computer program products for synchronization of wireless devices in a peer-to-peer network are described herein. In one aspect, a method for determining at least one of a time for exiting and a time for entering a low power sleep mode to utilize a discovery window is provided. The method includes determining an earliest possible start time of a discovery window according to a clock at the first device. The method further includes transitioning from the low power sleep mode to a higher power active mode approximately at the determined earliest possible start time, wherein the determined earliest possible start time is based at least in part on a clock drift value associated with the first device and a clock drift value associated with a second device of the wireless network.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for controlling power consumption in a peer-to-peer communication system. In accordance with various examples, the techniques include determining a power save mode of a first node, determining a power save mode of a second node, determining a category of data connection between the first node and the second node, and adjusting a power save parameter of the first node based at least in part on the power save mode of the first node, the power save mode of the second node, and the category of data connection.
Abstract:
A device for wireless communication includes key logic configured to obtain a candidate group key corresponding to a data link group. The device also includes a wireless interface configured to transmit an announcement message to one or more devices of the data link group during a discovery window of a first communication channel. The announcement message includes a multicast message and indicates availability of the candidate group key.

The announcement message includes a multicast message and indicates availability of the candidate group key, and the announcement message.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication at a wireless communication device. A wireless communication device may receive a data frame and use it to estimate a residual channel length (RCL). The device may then modify a finite impulse response (FIR) filter based on the estimated RCL. For example, the device may add additional taps to the FIR filter. The device may continue to adjust the FIR filter until the RCL is at or near zero. In some cases, the wireless communication device may send an indication to the transmitting device to adjust an FIR filter based on the estimated RCL. In some cases, the length of a guard interval may also be adjusted based on the estimated RCL.
Abstract:
A method includes monitoring, at a first electronic device of a data link, a first wireless network during a first paging window corresponding to an active operating mode of electronic devices of the data link. The method also includes receiving, at the first electronic device, a traffic announcement message from a second electronic device of the data link during the first paging window.
Abstract:
Methods, devices, and computer program products for collision management of wireless devices in a peer-to-peer network are described herein. In one aspect, a method of communicating via a wireless medium by a wireless communications apparatus within a network is provided. The method includes determining first and second contention windows. The first contention window begins earlier than the second contention window. The method further includes beginning a first carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) countdown at the start of the first contention window. The method further includes beginning a second CSMA countdown when the first CSMA countdown does not end before the start of the second contention window. The method further includes transmitting the prepared frame at a time of the first CSMA countdown ending or the second CSMA countdown ending, whichever is earlier.

Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses, and devices are described for wireless communications in which neighborhood area network (NaN) information may be requested and provided in a relatively fast and efficient manner between devices of a NaN. A wireless communication device, such as a station in a wireless communications network, may transmit an active probe request to seek information related to a NaN. The active probe request may be a NaN specific probe request, or may be transmitted from a station as part of an active scan for wireless network infrastructure other than NaN devices (e.g., as part of a scan for an AP in a BSS). An AP or master device of the NaN may receive the probe request and generate a NaN discovery response, which may include information that the requesting device may use for connecting to a device in the NaN.
