    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for co-located Basic Service Sets (BSSs). A BSS refers to an access point (AP), wireless channel configuration, and associated stations (STAs). In one aspect, a wireless local area network (WLAN) apparatus may operate multiple virtual access points (VAPs) and multiple BSSs. The BSS may be considered co-located if they are implemented in the same physical device (such as a WLAN apparatus). Furthermore, the BSSs may be considered co-hosted if they share the same band and wireless channel, but independently signal different management frames. To aid STAs in learning about the co-located or co-hosted BSSs, the present disclosure provides techniques to advertise the co-located or co-hosted BSSs. Further improvements for co-hosted BSSs include the use of control frames that can aggregate information for more than one co-hosted BSS sharing a same wireless channel.

    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems and devices for obtaining a measurement of a range between two devices. For example, wireless stations may obtain a measurement of range between the wireless stations based, at least in part, on an exchange messages such as fine timing measurement (FTM) messages. In a particular implementation, FTM messages may be received at a transceiver device in a burst of FTM messages from a responding wireless station. An acknowledgement messages may be transmitted to the responding wireless station in response to receipt of the FTM message.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for signaling basic service set (BSS) identifiers (BSSIDs). A group of BSSs may form a Multiple BSSID set in which one BSS sent management frames on behalf of other BSSs (referred to as non-transmitting BSSIDs). For example, a management frame (such as a Beacon Frame or Probe Response Frame) may include a list of BSSIDs for some or all of the non-transmitting BSSIDs in the Multiple BSSID set. An indicator in the management frame may indicate whether the management frame includes a partial list or complete list of non-transmitting BSSIDs in the Multiple BSSID set. The management frame may include a count or bitmap to indicate the quantity of BSSIDs in the Multiple BSSID set. A station (STA) may indicate which BSSIDs it has discovered and request the remaining BSSIDs in the Multiple BSSID set.

    Abstract: Method, systems, and apparatuses are described for wireless communications. More particularly, a wireless station may connect to a wireless network using a first radio frequency (RF) band and detect a signal strength of the first RF band is greater than a roaming threshold. The wireless station may perform a plurality of scans for support by the wireless network of a second RF band in response to the detected signal strength. Each scan may occur when the signal strength of the first RF band is greater than the roaming threshold. The wireless station may selectively connect to the wireless network using the second RF band based at least in part on the scanning and a throughput supported by the wireless network over the second RF band. The first RF band may be a 2.4 GHz band and the second RF band may be a 5 GHz band.

    Abstract: A wireless device (e.g., a station (STA)) may receive a transmission soliciting a control transmission (e.g., a soliciting transmission). The STA may identify a transmission parameter indicator, which may indicate a change in one or more parameters in a control response transmission parameter set (e.g., a set of parameters used for control transmissions in response to the soliciting transmission). The STA may transmit the control transmission in response to the soliciting transmission based on the identified transmission parameter indicator. The control response transmission parameter set may include a frame format, a physical layer convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) format, a bandwidth, a modulation scheme, an encoding scheme, a modulation and coding scheme (MCS), a number of spatial streams (NSS), and/or a PPDU duration. In some cases, the transmission parameter indicator may indicate disabling or resumption of extended range (ER) single user (SU) PPDU format usage.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. An access point (AP) may direct stations (STAs) to use a request-to-send (RTS)/clear-to-send (CTS) mode so the AP may perform power savings and off-channel operations without disrupting the communications of nearby devices. In some cases, the AP may use traffic conditions to identify a power save period and subsequently transmit an indication of an RTS/CTS mode to multiple STAs. In one example, the AP may power down at least one radio frequency (RF) chain and enter into a sleep mode. Additionally or alternatively, during the power save period the AP may receive an RTS from a STA and power up additional radio chains for MIMO communication. In some cases, the AP may identify an off-channel operations period based on traffic conditions and perform the off-channel operations after indicating the RTS/CTS mode to a set of STAs.
