Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that segment or concatenate radio link control (RLC) service data units (SDUs) into RLC protocol data units (PDUs). In accordance with various aspects set forth herein, systems and/or methods are provided that receive a first RLC SDU, partition the first RLC SDU into a first RLC PDU and a second RLC PDU, set a length indicator (LI) field associated with the second RLC PDU to indicate the size of information contained in the second RLC PDU, concatenate the second RLC PDU with a third RLC PDU associated with a second RLC SDU to form a concatenated RLC PDU, and dispatch the first RLC PDU, the concatenated RLC PDU, and a fourth RLC PDU associated with the second RLC SDU.
Abstract:
With multiple communication channels available and range extenders, a number of paths may be available for communicating traffic in a wireless network. Traffic on paths in the wireless network may be load balanced to improve channel utilization and/or relieve an overloaded communication channel. To load balance the traffic, a first AP may determine candidate paths between a first AP and a client device, wherein at least one of the candidate paths traverses a second AP. The AP may determine available bandwidths of the candidate paths based, at least in part, on availability of communication channels of the candidate paths. The AP may steer a portion of the wireless network traffic of the client device to a first of the candidate paths based, at least in part, on the available bandwidths.
Abstract:
A network configurator can dynamically configure a device to couple network data between other devices in a wireless network. The devices can include two independent wireless transceivers that can each operate within different frequency bands, such as the 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz frequency bands. The configuration of the independent wireless transceivers can be based, at least in part, on device capabilities of the wireless transceivers, channel conditions, and a quality of service associated with the other wireless stations in the wireless network.
Abstract:
Uplink reporting and logical channel prioritization in multiflow operation is described. In some embodiments, uplink reporting for multiflow operation utilizes bearer level splitting where the UE associates bearers or logical channel groups (LCGs) with cells for uplink reporting. In some embodiments, uplink reporting for multiflow operation utilizes packet level splitting where the UE groups buffers for all LCGs into a common pool for uplink reporting. In packet level splitting embodiments, the UE may perform uplink reporting based on the total amount of data available for transmission in the common buffer pool or by applying scaling coefficients associated with the serving cells. Some embodiments manage mapping of logical channel payloads to uplink grants for multiflow operation.
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate providing flow control feedback for controlling downlink data transmission rates. Various schemes can be utilized to send the flow control feedback from an access terminal to a base station. For example, a control PDU (e.g., MAC control PDU, PDCP control PDU) can be generated based upon a level of resource utilization of the access terminal, and sent to the base station for controlling the downlink data transmission rate. Following this example, a type of control PDU, a value included within the control PDU, etc. can be selected as a function of the level of resource utilization. By way of another illustration, a CQI report that includes a value selected as a function of the level of resource utilization associated with the access terminal can be generated and transmitted to the base station for controlling the downlink data transmission rate.
Abstract:
Access point functionality of a network device may be disabled, resulting in a coverage hole in a communication network and affecting performance of a client device. Various techniques can be implemented for detecting and minimizing coverage holes. In one embodiment, the network device can selectively establish a communication link with the client device depending on whether the client device is in a coverage hole and depending on whether the client device can detect another access point in the communication network. In some embodiments, the client device can determine that it is in a coverage hole in response to detecting a reserved SSID and can accordingly notify a central coordinator of the communication network. In some embodiments, the central coordinator can identify the network device (with disabled access point functionality) that can eliminate the coverage hole and can cause the network device to enable its access point functionality.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first device may receive signaling associated with a traffic class from a second device. The first device may determine that the traffic class is included in a set of known traffic classes based on a set of features associated with the signaling. In response to determining that the traffic class is included in the set of known traffic classes, the first device may use a machine learning model to obtain a prediction of an application associated with the signaling. The prediction may be based on the set of features. The machine learning model may be trained at the first device or the second device. The first device may receive information associated with the machine learning model from the second device.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for transmitting and receiving, between an access point (AP) and one or more stations (STAs) in a basic service set (BSS), an indication of a puncturing event. In some examples, the transmitting and receiving may use non-legacy elements configured to provide information about the puncturing event. In certain aspects, the disclosure provides methods for transmitting and receiving, between the AP and one or more STAs, an indication of an operating band switch. In some examples, the transmitting and receiving may use non-legacy elements configured to provide information about the operating band switch.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for managing data traffic in restricted target wake time (TWT) service periods (SPs). In some aspects, an access point (AP) receives a request frame from a wireless station (STA) associated with a client device via a peer-to-peer (P2P) link, the request frame indicating the STA intends to exchange P2P communications with the client device during a r-TWT SP scheduled on a wireless medium. The AP obtains a transmission opportunity (TXOP) on the wireless medium during the r-TWT SP, the request frame identifying the client device. The AP transmits a trigger frame on the wireless medium responsive to obtaining the TXOP, the trigger frame allocating a portion of the obtained TXOP for P2P communications between the STA and the client device, wherein at least one of the response frame or the trigger frame indicates a Network Allocation Vector (NAV) exception for the client device.
