    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for opportunistic spatial reuse. In various embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods provide for mechanisms for enabling and disabling spatial reuse in a wireless network as appropriate based on the deployment of the wireless network. In some embodiments, spatial reuse can be enabled and disabled based on various factors, such as channel utilization. In some embodiments, spatial reuse can be enabled and disabled as appropriate for various types of traffic in a wireless network. For example, spatial reuse can be enabled and disabled for downlink traffic (e.g., traffic from an access point to a client device), for uplink traffic (e.g., traffic from a client device to an access point), for multicast or broadcast traffic (e.g., traffic distributed to multiple recipients), or for certain modes of transmission (e.g., single user beamformed transmission, Dual Carrier Modulated transmission).

    摘要: Implementations of the present disclosure relate to selecting a transmitting virtual access point (VAP) for a MBSSID set. A method comprises selecting a VAP from a set of VAPs as a transmitting VAP based on context information about the set of VAPs, at least one of the set of VAPs other than the transmitting VAP being determined as at least one non-transmitting VAP The method also comprises generating a beacon frame for the set of VAPs by including an identifier of the transmitting VAP in a header part of the beacon frame and including at least one identifier of the at least one non-transmitting VAP in a payload part of the beacon frame. A generated beacon frame is broadcasted. In this way, a transmitting VAP of a set of VAPs is no longer determined by default, but can be selected for different cases.

    摘要: A method for protecting 802.11 ax networks includes receiving, by an access point, a plurality of Single User (SU) Quality of Service (QOS) NULL frames from a station, tracking, by the access point as the plurality of SU QOS NULL frames are received, a variable in one or more of the plurality of SU QOS NULL frames, determining, by the access point and based on tracking the variable, the station is suspicious, sending, by the access point and in response to determining the station is suspicious, a request to check a status of the variable, determining, by the access point and based on a response to the request, the station is under attack, and flagging, by the access point, the station as under an attack.
