Abstract: An apparatus of a first high-efficiency (HE) access point (AP) or station for spatial reuse is the disclosed. The apparatus includes processing circuitry configured to: decode a first portion of a first packet; and if the first portion indicates the first packet was transmitted by a second HE AP or station and that the first packet is an overlapping basic service set (OBSS) packet, then if a preamble detect energy is below a threshold, cause to be transmitted a second packet simultaneously with a portion of the first packet after the first portion. The processing circuitry may be configured to determine the first portion was transmitted by the second HE AP or station if a field in a physical (PHY) header or a second field in a media access control (MAC) header indicate the first packet was transmitted by the second HE AP or station.

Abstract: Cluster management techniques for wireless data links are described. According to some such techniques, a wireless communication device may maintain proximity information for consideration in conjunction with assigning NAN data links to NAN data clusters. In some embodiments, a wireless communication device may store proximity information for a given NAN data link in an NDL attribute associated with that NAN data link, and may store proximity information for a given NAN data cluster in an NDC attribute associated with that NAN data cluster. In various embodiments, two wireless communication devices may utilize/consider such proximity information in conjunction with assigning a newly-created NAN data link to a NAN data cluster. In some embodiments, two wireless communication devices may utilize/consider such proximity information in conjunction with transferring an extant NAN data link from one NAN data cluster to another NAN data cluster.
