Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for leveraging Bluetooth (BT) or Bluetooth low energy (BLE) technologies to conserve energy in multi-mode devices. In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to synchronizing a first wireless platform with a second wireless platform by exchanging Wi-Fi synchronization information through BT packets. Each of the first and the second wireless platforms may have integrated Wi-Fi (or other communication modalities) with a BT radio. In one embodiment of the disclosure, the Wi-Fi communication modes are kept at sleep mode while the BT modalities exchange synchronization information.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to using enhanced high efficiency (HE) frames. A device may determine a high efficiency signal-B (HE-SIG-B) field for a high efficiency (HE) frame, the HE-SIG-B field comprising a common information field and a user information field. The device may determine a data portion of the HE frame, wherein the data portion includes one or more resource units (RUs) with a size equal to a number of tones. The device may determine a first resource allocation subfield and a second resource allocation subfield of the common information field based at least in part on the number of tones. The device may cause to send the HE frame.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to generate a management frame identifying an operation mode for a basic service set of a local area network. An example disclosed method includes performing an assessment of a wireless network and determining an operation mode for a basic service set (BSS) bandwidth based on the assessment, the operation mode indicating continuity of a primary segment, a secondary segment, a tertiary segment and a quaternary segment. The example method further includes creating a management frame including information fields based on the BSS bandwidth, the information fields including a first channel width field, a second channel width field, a third channel width field, a first center frequency field, a second center frequency field and a third center frequency field and transmitting the management frame over the wireless network.

Abstract:
For example, an apparatus configured to cause a first Wake-Up Radio (WUR) wireless communication station (STA) to exchange a request frame and a response frame with a second WUR STA to set up a plurality of WUR parameters of a WUR mode at which the first WUR STA is to transmit one or more WUR wake-up frames configured for reception by a Wake-Up Receiver (WURx) of the second WUR STA, wherein the request frame is from the second WUR STA to the first WUR STA, and the response frame is from the first WUR STA to the second WUR STA in response to the request frame; to transmit an unsolicited update frame to the second WUR STA to update one or more WUR parameters of the plurality of WUR parameters; and to receive an Acknowledgement (Ack) frame from the second WUR STA to acknowledge the unsolicited update frame.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to a flexible connectivity framework. A first device may send a trigger frame to a second device. The first device may then receive an uplink bandwidth resource request from the second device. The first device may detect a high efficiency-long training field (HE-LTF) in the uplink bandwidth resource request. The first device may send an uplink multiuser trigger frame, and the first device may receive an uplink frame from the second device.
Abstract:
Simultaneous dual band operation (2.4 and 5 GHz) is common in APs on the market today, and tri-band devices are expected in the market soon. Link aggregation can also be applicable to multiple air interfaces in the same band (for instance 2 independent IEEE 802.11ac/ax air interfaces at 5 GHz on 2 different 80 MHz channels). One exemplary aspect provides technology that enables significantly higher throughput and/or higher reliability for two stations (STAs) or a STA and the access point (AP) when the devices support simultaneous multi-band operation.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to low power wake-up radio beacon signaling. An access point may determine timing information for the transmission of low power wake up radio beacons and send that timing information to a user device. An access point may then send low power wake up radio beacons based on that timing information to a user device, and a user device may receive the low power wake up radio beacons based on the timing information.
Abstract:
In one example, a method for synchronizing connectivity in a wireless communication network includes participating in a communication on a management plane between at least one station and a first access point. The management plane includes a first frequency. A service period element specifies a plurality of terms of one or more service periods during which at least one station connects to a second access point over a data plane. The data plane includes a second radio frequency different from the second radio frequency. The method also includes participating in the one or more service periods on the data plane according to the terms specified by the service period element.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes methods, devices, and systems related to generate a trigger frame including one or more resource block identifications (RBIDs), each RBID being associated with a respective resource unit of one or more resource units on a communication channel; cause to transmit the first trigger frame to each of one or more devices; process a received power save poll (PS-poll) bit from a first device of the one or more devices on a spatial stream and a first resource unit of the one or more resource units; cause to transmit an acknowledgment to each of the one or more user devices; cause to transmit data buffered in the at least one processor to the first device; and process a received acknowledgment from the first device confirming receipt of the data.
