Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for reducing signaling overhead in multi-link reconfiguration. A first MLD generates a first profile for a first link, where the first profile comprises a plurality of parameter sets, each parameter set being allocated an element identifier and comprising a first value set relevant to an operation of the first link. The first MLD generates a second profile for a second link, where one or more parameter sets that have a same value set as in the first profile are omitted, and, for each parameter set that has a different value set from the first profile, the element identifier and a second value set are incorporated into the second profile. The first MLD generates a link reconfiguration frame including the first and second profiles, and sends the frame to a second MLD.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for QoS negotiation for uplink and downlink traffic. A network device receives a Stream Classification Service (SCS) request from an associated station (STA). The SCS request comprises one or more sets of traffic class (TCLAS) information and a preferred traffic identifier (TID) value for a data flow transmitted between the STA and the network device. The network device determines a type of service of the data flow by analyzing the one or more sets of TCLAS information. The network device confirms that the type of service does not align with the preferred TID value under one or more defined network policies. In response to the confirmation, the network device sends an SCS response to the STA comprising adjustments of at least one of the one or more sets of TCLAS information or the preferred TID value to a new TID value.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes an access point that shifts data streams subject to QoS requirements to links that are mapped to handle such traffic. The access point includes one or more memories and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the one or more memories. The one or more processors determine, based on a first traffic identifier for a first data stream, that the first data stream is subject to QoS requirements and in response to determining that the first data stream is subject to QoS requirements, determine a first link that is mapped to the first traffic identifier. The one or more processors carry the first data stream on the first link.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes an access point that coordinates infrastructure and non-infrastructure communications. The access point includes one or more memories and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the one or more memories. The one or more processors determine that access points of an extended service set are refraining from using a first channel and communicate, to a first device, a first beacon comprising a channel usage element indicating that the first channel is available for the first device to use to communicate directly with a second device.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for Stream Classification Service (SCS) policy validation for downlink and uplink traffic. A network device receives an SCS request from an associated STA, which specifies one or more sets of TCLAS information for a data flow transmitted between the network device and the STA, each set of TCLAS information being accompanied by associated QoS profile information for the data flow. The network device compares the sets of TCLAS information and associated QoS profile information with one or more cached application profiles, and determines that there is no match. In response to the determination, the network device performs packet analysis and confirms that the sets of TCLAS information and associated QoS profile information align with the type of service of the data flow under defined network polices. In response to the confirmation, the network device applies one or more treatments to the data flow.
