    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media that support station performance enhancement with multi-link operations. An example method may include determining at least one network metric related to at least one link between a station (STA) and access points (APs) and determining at least one connection parameter related to at least one application operating on the STA. The method may include selecting a mode of multi-link operations based at least in part on the network metric and the connection parameter, wherein the mode of multi-link operations comprises one or more of: a multi-link mode in which the STA operates over a first link and a second link at a same time or a single-link mode in which the STA operates over one of the first or second links and communicating with the one or more APs according to the selected mode.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for improving the security of secure long training field (LTF) transmissions. In some implementations, a transmitting device may perform windowing on a secure LTF, in the frequency domain, so that the resulting time-domain LTF signal is difficult, if not impossible, to predict by any device that observes a portion of the LTF signal. In some aspects, the transmitting device may negotiate the windowing of secure LTFs with a receiving device based on fine timing measurement (FTM) negotiation frames exchanged at the start of an FTM procedure. In some other aspects, the transmitting device may dynamically or adaptively perform windowing on secure LTFs. In such aspects, the transmitting device may indicate whether windowing is performed on a secure LTF based on information carried in a signal field of a physical layer convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) that includes the secure LTF.

    Abstract: Generally, the described techniques provide for protection mechanisms for sounding training signals transmitted between wireless devices when performing ranging sounding estimation. For example, sounding training signals may be encoded to include a sequence of phase rotations or cyclic shifts to protect the sounding training signal from peer devices. In some cases, encoding information associated with a long training field (LTF) may be transmitted either before or after the LTF is transmitted. Additionally or alternatively, a time delay may be introduced to the sounding training signal, where timing information may be removed from one or more fields of the sounding training signal and the time delay may be appended to an interframe spacing. Alternatively, a frame may be split into multiple frames with the sounding training signal in a first frame, and timing information in a second frame that is offset in time from the first frame.
