Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for wireless communication, and more specifically to advertising discovery information, relaying discovery information, and to the secure relay of discovery information in wireless networks. Various frame structures are provided for such transmitting and relaying of discovery information. According to certain aspects of the present disclosure, security is provided for relaying discovery information. According to certain aspects of the present disclosure, compensation may be provided to a device that relays discovery information (e.g., when the relaying results in a transaction).

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for communications are described. A device or a group of devices may generate data. The group of devices may receive a group profile from a node that identifies the devices to be included, and the group profile may include a function to be evaluated at each of the devices. The node may also provision evaluation parameters which may allow the device to provide authenticated aggregate data to a requesting third party, without sharing the data between the devices and without sharing the data with the node, thus concurrently maintaining individual data privacy and data provenance.

Abstract: A method, operational at a network device, for conveying congestion information across different strata of a multi-strata network is provided. An indication is obtained that a congestion level for at least one of a radio access network node and a core network node of a network has changed. Consequently, a one or more service parameters for a plurality of services, operating at a service stratum, are updated or adjusted on a per service basis based on the congestion level indication. The one or more service parameters are provided or sent to, at least one of, a node operating at a service stratum or a user device that obtains services over the network.

Abstract: This application relates to wireless communication systems, and more particularly to distributed synchronization of “internet of everything” (IoE) devices to a common timing through opportunistic synchronization with user equipment (UE). Multiple IoE devices within proximity to each other establish device to device (D2D) links. When an IoE device receives an updated timing synchronization signal from a UE, the IoE device can broadcast the updated timing synchronization signal to other IoE devices directly or via a multi-hop forwarding scheme via the D2D links. Multiple groups of IoE devices can be synchronized to the same timing synchronization signal such that if and when IoE devices from the different groups come into proximity, the IoE devices will find each other and can merge into a larger group of synchronized IoE devices with minimal searching overhead and, therefore, minimal power consumption.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein for MAC processing for efficient use of high throughput systems and that may be backward compatible with various types of legacy systems. In one aspect, a data transmission structure comprises a consolidated poll and one or more frames transmitted in accordance with the consolidated poll. In another aspect, a Time Division Duplexing (TDD) data transmission structure comprises a pilot, a consolidated poll, and zero or more access point to remote station frames in accordance with the consolidated poll. In one aspect, frames are transmitted sequentially with no or substantially reduced interframe spacing. In another aspect, a guard interframe spacing may be introduced between frames transmitted from different sources, or with substantially different power levels. In another aspect, a single preamble is transmitted in association with one or more frames. In another aspect, a block acknowledgement is transmitted subsequent to the transmission of one or more sequential frames.

Abstract: Techniques for using at least one of omni-directional and directional antennas for communication are described. A station may be equipped antenna elements selectable for use as an omni-directional antenna or one or more directional antennas. The station may select the omni-directional antenna or a directional antenna for use for communication based on various factors such as, e.g., whether the location or direction of a target station for communication is known, whether control frames or data frames are being exchanged, etc.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for direct device-to-device (D2D) communications in a subframe on a channel in an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band. A user equipment (UE) may perform a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure on the channel in the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band. The UE may identify a time period between a completion of the LBT procedure and a boundary of a second subframe. The UE may transmit a Wi-Fi preamble and a variable length message on the channel during the identified timer period. The variable length message may include a duration that is time aligned with the boundary of the second subframe.
