Abstract:
The disclosure provides some embodiments for securing long training field (LTF) sequence. A responding station (RSTA) configures a location management report (LMR) frame. The LMR frame is configured to include an LMR in respect of a previous measurement, and data to be used to generate a null data packet (NDP) for a current measurement that is to be performed following the previous measurement. The RSTA further encrypts the LMR frame using protected management frames (PMF) scheme, and transmits the encrypted LMR frame to an initiating station (ISTA) for generating an LTF sequence for the current measurement. In response to receiving an NDP announcement (NDPA) and an NDP for the current measurement from the ISTA, the RSTA generates an NDP for the current measurement based on the NDPA and the data using CCMP, and transmits the NDP to the ISTA.

Abstract:
Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and methods of controlling communications of a multi-radio device. For example, a multi-radio device may include a first radio to communicate over a first wireless network; a first controller to control the first radio; a second radio to communicate over a second wireless network; a second controller to control the second radio; and an interface to communicate signaling messages between the first and second controllers, wherein the first controller is to send to the second controller a request to transmit, the request to transmit indicating a request to allow the first radio to transmit over the first wireless network, and wherein the second controller is to assert a transmit-allowed signal over the interface to indicate that the request to transmit is granted, or to de-assert the transmit-allowed signal to indicate that the request to transmit is denied.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to operating channel validation. A device may associate with an access point (AP). The device may establish a first operating channel to communicate with the AP. The device may identify a protected beacon frame received from the AP, wherein the protected beacon frame comprises an indication of a second operating channel. The device may extract the second operating channel from the protected beacon frame. The device may determine an association status with the AP based on the first operating channel and the second operating channel.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to security for multi-link operations. A multi-link device (MLD) may establish a first communication link between a first device of the MLD and a first device of a second MLD, and a second communication link between a second device of the MLD and a second device of the second MLD. The MLD may generate a group-addressed message. The MLD may protect the group-addressed message using a first key or a first integrity key. The MLD may protect the group-addressed message using a second key or a second integrity key. The MLD may send, using the first communication link, the group-addressed message protected using the first key or the first integrity key, and may send, using the second communication link, the group-addressed message protected using the second key or the second integrity key.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices for OpenRoaming networks. A device may be installed, during a pre-provisioning process, with an activation profile on the STA for one-time use with OpenRoaming networks; identify, after the pre-provisioning process, a first OpenRoaming network within range of the STA; transmit, to a first access point (AP), a first authentication request for the first OpenRoaming network, the first authentication request including an indication of the activation profile; identify a first authentication response received from the first AP, the first authentication request granting access of the STA to the first OpenRoaming network; and access the first OpenRoaming network based on the first authentication response. Following successful association and authentication with the OpenRoaming network, a process for establishing a user profile on the device may be triggered for future connections to OpenRoaming networks.

Methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media for dynamic puncturing with dynamic signaling are disclosed. Apparatuses of a non-access point (AP) station (STA) or of an AP are disclosed, where the apparatuses comprise processing circuitry configured to: encode, by a first non-AP station (STA) of the non-AP MLD, a first physical (PHY) protocol data unit (PPDU) for transmission to a first AP of an AP MLD, the first PPDU comprising a MLO OCI element, MLO OCI KDE 1000, or a MLO OCI. The processing circuitry is further configured to decode, by the first non-AP STA of the non-AP MLD, a second PPDU in response to the first PPDU, the second PPDU including a MLO OCI element, MLO OCI KDE, or a MLO OCI. The non-AP STA is configured to verify the information in an MLO OCI element, MLO OCI KDE, or an MLO OCI.
