    Abstract: A wireless communication device (WDEV) includes a communication interface and a processor, among other possible circuitries, components, elements, etc. to support communications with other WDEV (s) and to generate and process signals associated with such communications. The WDEV supports first communications with a first other WDEV and supports second communications with a second other WDEV. The WDEV processes the first communications and the second communications to determine whether the first other WDEV and the second other WDEV are substantially co-located at a physical location. When not co-located, the WDEV processes the first communications and the second communications based on at least one of a ranging or a location protocol to determine location information of the WDEV. Alternatively, when co-located, the WDEV stores information that indicates co-location of the first other WDEV and the second other WDEV.

    Abstract: A transceiver of an apparatus supports communication with at least one additional apparatus. A processing module processes at least a portion of media access control (MAC) header content of a MAC frame within a signal received via the at least one transceiver or generated internally. In particular, the MAC header content, and optionally the MAC payload content, is processed based on a filter and classification agreement between the apparatus and the at least one additional apparatus to classify the MAC frame.

    Abstract: A wireless communication device (e.g., operative within a wireless local area network (WLAN)) coordinates with another wireless communication device to determine which communication parameter(s) to use in at least one FTM frame exchange. In an example of operation, the wireless communication device includes a communication interface and a processor such that the processor receives, via the communication interface, a fine timing measurement (FTM) request frame from the other wireless communication device. The FTM request frame specifies at least one preferred communication parameter for the at least one FTM frame exchange. The processor then determines, based on the FTM request frame, information related to the at least one preferred communication parameter. The wireless communication device generates and transmits a response to the FTM request frame to the other wireless communication device that confirms or overrides the at least one preferred communication parameter.

    Abstract: A device for facilitating data communication in a peer-to-peer network may include at least one processor circuit. The processor circuit may be configured to initiate, in or outside a discovery time window, a data connection setup with a second device. The processor circuit may be configured to, when the data connection setup is not completed within the discovery time window, select a negotiation time window based on at least one of an advertised availability of the device or an advertised availability of the second device and resume, in the negotiation time window, the data connection setup. The processor circuit may be configured to receive information associated with one or more data transfer time windows from the second device upon completion of the data connection setup, where the one or more data transfer time windows are selected based at least on the data connection setup.

    Abstract: A wireless communication device (WDEV) receives, detects, snoops, etc. (generally, “receives”) signals that are transmitted between two other WDEVs and extracts information therefrom to determine the location of the WDEV. These signals can include fine timing measurement (FTM) and/or timestamps related information as part of a frame exchange procedure between those two other WDEVs. A new protocol specifies when such an FTM and/or timestamps frame exchange procedure is performed between the two other WDEVs, and the WDEV intelligently detects/receives such signals at such specified times. When the WDEV operates in a reduced power or sleep state, the WDEV awakens from the reduced power or sleep state at the appropriate times to detect FTM and/or timestamps related information of such a frame exchange procedure. The WDEV then can process such FTM and/or timestamps related information for use in determining the location of the WDEV relative to the two other WDEVs.

    Abstract: A wireless communication device (e.g., generally, a device) includes a communication interface and a processor configured to support communications with one or more other devices. In an example of operation, the device supports first communications based on a first communication protocol with a first network coordinator device and identifies a second network coordinator device that operates based on a second communication protocol when supporting those first communications. The device also determines one or more operational parameters associated with the second network coordinator device. When one or more conditions is/are appropriate, the device interworks the first communications and second communications based on the second communication protocol with the second network coordinator device. The degree of interworking is based on one or more considerations associated with one or more of the first and second communication protocols, the first and second network coordinator devices, local and/or remote operating conditions, etc.
