    Abstract: Time division multiple access (TDMA) media access control (MAC) adapted for single user, multiple user, multiple access, and/or MIMO wireless communications. Various com systems may include smart meter stations (SMSTAs) and/or wireless stations (STAs). Appropriate coordination is made with respect to such communication devices to ensure appropriate uplink (and/or downlink) communications between a network manager or coordinator (e.g., an access point (AP)) and the SMSTAs and/or STAs. With respect to SMSTAs, the relative duration of time that such communication devices are awake and operative versus asleep (or in a reduced power and/or functionality state) can be significant. Certain implementations may include a relatively large number of such communication devices (e.g., 10s, 100s, 1000s, or more), and appropriate coordination and scheduling of such communications to/from them is made using one or more variations of TDMA signaling (e.g., including different respective service periods (SPs), communication medium access operational modes, adaptation thereof, etc.).

    Abstract: Response frame modulation coding set (MCS) selection within single user, multiple user, multiple access, and/or MIMO wireless communications. With respect to any exchange between communication devices in which there is a response frame, a first frame (e.g., an eliciting frame) is a first transmitted from the eliciting communication device to the responding communication device, and a second frame (e.g., a response frame) is transmitted from the responding communication device to the eliciting communities device. Appropriate selection of MCS to be used within the response frame may be determined explicitly or implicitly. One or more parameters (e.g., a limit parameter, a reduction parameter, etc.) may be used to determine the MCS of the response frame. The MCS employed for a response frame may be selected from a basic MCS set that ensures all response frames from any responding communication device may be properly received by the eliciting communication device.

    Abstract: A wireless communication device (WDEV) receives, detects, snoops, etc. (generally, “receives”) signals that are transmitted between two other WDEVs and extracts information therefrom to determine the location of the WDEV. These signals can include fine timing measurement (FTM) and/or timestamps related information as part of a frame exchange procedure between those two other WDEVs. A new protocol specifies when such an FTM and/or timestamps frame exchange procedure is performed between the two other WDEVs, and the WDEV intelligently detects/receives such signals at such specified times. When the WDEV operates in a reduced power or sleep state, the WDEV awakens from the reduced power or sleep state at the appropriate times to detect FTM and/or timestamps related information of such a frame exchange procedure. The WDEV then can process such FTM and/or timestamps related information for use in determining the location of the WDEV relative to the two other WDEVs.

    Abstract: Coordination and synchronization is performed between two or more wireless network managers (e.g., access points (APs)). A first wireless network manager supports first communications with first other wireless communication devices, and a second wireless network manager supports second communications with those first and/or second other wirelessly case devices. The first and second wireless network managers also support communications with one another to coordinate the first and second communications supported with the first and/or second other wireless communication devices. Examples of coordination include selection of which other wireless communication devices are serviced or in communication with which of the first and second wireless network managers, selection of operational parameters (e.g., modulation coding set (MCS), beamforming, frequency band assignment, channel assignment, scheduling information, transmit power, etc.) for the first and second wireless communication devices, synchronization to a common clock (e.g., using timing synchronization function (TSF)).

    Abstract: A wireless communication device (alternatively, device, WDEV, etc.) includes a processing circuitry configured to support communications with other WDEV(s) and to generate and process signals for such communications. In some examples, the device includes a communication interface and a processing circuitry, among other possible circuitries, components, elements, etc. to support communications with other WDEV(s) and to generate and process signals for such communications. A WDEV generates and transmits a first signal that includes a field that specifies an acceptable interference level (AIL) for concurrent communication for use by a first other WDEV to determine whether a transmission from the first other WDEV to a second other WDEV acceptably or unacceptably interferes with another transmission from the WDEV. Concurrent communication (e.g., from the WDEV to a third other WDEV, and from the first other WDEV to the second other WDEV) may be made when the AIL compares favorably with the AIL.
