Apparatuses, computer readable media, and methods for restricting enhanced distributed coordination access (EDCA) in a high-efficiency wireless local-area network (HEW) are disclosed. The apparatus of a HEW station may include processing circuitry and transceiver circuitry. The processing circuitry and transceiver circuitry may be configured to configure the HEW station for operation in enhanced distributed coordinated access (EDCA) restricted mode, where in EDCA restricted mode the HEW station is configured to refrain from EDCA packet transmission. The processing circuitry and transceiver circuitry may be further configured to configure the HEW station for operation in non-EDCA restricted mode where in non-EDCA restricted mode the HEW station is configured to: increase a EDCA attempt failure counter when acknowledgement of an EDCA-transmitted packet is not received within a predetermined period of time, and enter EDCA restricted mode when the EDCA attempt failure counter equals a EDCA threshold.

Embodiments of a high-efficiency Wi-Fi (HEW) station, access point (AP), and method for communication in a wireless network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the HEW AP may transmit a resource allocation message to indicate an allocation of sub-channels to one or more HEW stations for uplink data transmissions. Information included in the resource allocation message may include various indicators related to full or partial allocation of the sub-channels and whether equal allocations are made for each of the HEW stations. A sub-channel mapping block may also be included to indicate how the sub-channels are assigned to the HEW stations. In some cases, the length of the sub-channel mapping block may vary based at least partly on the indicators included in the message.

Apparatuses, methods, and computer readable media for signaling clear-channel assessment parameters in a high-efficiency wireless local area network (HEW) are disclosed. A HEW master station comprising circuitry is disclosed. The circuitry may be configured to determine one or more clear-channel assessment (CCA) parameters for one or more HEW stations, and transmit a CCA parameter of the one or more CCA parameters to the corresponding HEW station of the one or more HEW stations. The clear-channel assessment parameter may be one from the following group: mid-packet detect (MPD) threshold, energy detect threshold, and signal detect threshold. The HEW master station may determine the CCA parameter based on the at least one of the following group: an uplink signal strength of the HEW device, a signal quality report received from the HEW device, and a downlink signal strength of the master station received by the HEW device.

Embodiments of a high-efficiency Wi-Fi (HEW) station, access point (AP), and method for random access contention in a wireless network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the HEW station may receive a beacon frame that indicates a number of trigger frames (TFs) included in a beacon interval. The beacon frame may be received from an HEW access point (AP) in channel resources that include multiple sub-channels. The HEW station may receive a random access TF that indicates a random access portion of the sub-channels that are allocated for random access contention during an uplink transmission period. The HEW station may select a candidate sub-channel from the channel resources. When the candidate sub-channel is included in the random access portion, the HEW station may transmit an association request (AR) frame on the candidate sub-channel during the uplink transmission period.

A multi-link access point (AP) device is configured for multi-link operation to communicate with a plurality of non-AP stations (STAs) over a plurality of corresponding links. A multi-link policy element is encoded for transmission to the non-AP STAs to signal a multi-link policy. The multi-link policy element comprises a common policy sub-element and a plurality of link-specific policy sub-elements. The common policy sub-element is applicable to all links. Each of the link-specific policy sub-elements is applicable to a single link. The link-specific policy sub-elements comprise at least a first link-specific policy sub-element applicable to a first link and a second link-specific policy sub-element applicable to a second link. The common policy sub-element defines a link policy for all links that have been set up between the multi-link AP device and the non-AP STAs. Each link-specific policy element defines a link policy specific to an associated link.

An access point (AP) may operate as a master AP (AP1) to perform multi-AP coordinated beamforming (CBF). The AP1 may to initiate a first sounding sequence with one or more STAs associated with the AP1 (BSS STAs) and the one or more STAs associated with a second AP (AP2) (OBSS STAs). In these embodiments, initiation of the first sounding sequence triggers the AP2 to join the sounding sequence to initiate a second sound sequence with the BSS STAs and the OBSS STAs.
