    Abstract: A non-AP STA of a multi-link device (STA MLD) may be configured to encode a multi-link (ML) probe request frame for transmission to an access point STA (AP) of an AP MLD comprising a plurality of affiliated APs. When the probe request frame is sent outside the context of active scanning, to discover an AP of the AP MLD the ML probe request frame may be encoded to have an Address 1 field set to a broadcast address and an Address 3 field set to a BSSID of the AP, or encoded to have the Address 1 field set to a basic service set identity (BSSID) of the AP's BS. The non-AP STA may refrain from transmitting the ML probe request frame to the AP of the AP MLD in a corresponding link when another non-AP STA of the AP MLD has already received a ML probe response that included complete information from any one of the APs of the AP MLD in any link.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to operating channel validation. A device may associate with an access point (AP). The device may establish a first operating channel to communicate with the AP. The device may identify a protected beacon frame received from the AP, wherein the protected beacon frame comprises an indication of a second operating channel. The device may extract the second operating channel from the protected beacon frame. The device may determine an association status with the AP based on the first operating channel and the second operating channel.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to intra-basic service set (BSS) signaling for multiple access points (APs). A device may determine one or more access points (APs), wherein the one or more APs are in a set of multiple basic service sets (BSSs) identified as intra-BSS. The device may include, in a first frame, a high-efficiency operation element comprising a bit associated with an indicator of the set of multiple BSSs. The device may include, in a second frame, an association identification (AID) value, wherein the AID value is associated with the device. The device may cause to send the first frame a first station device of one or more station devices. The device may cause to send the second frame to a second station device of the one or more station devices.

    Abstract: For example, an apparatus may include logic and circuitry configured to cause a wireless communication device to maintain active scan configuration information defining a plurality of active scan configurations corresponding to a respective plurality of predefined environment types; to classify a wireless communication channel as a selected environment type from the plurality of predefined environment types based on scan results of at least one first active scan over the wireless communication channel; and to perform at least one second active scan over the wireless communication channel according to a selected active scan configuration corresponding to the selected environment type.

    Abstract: Multi-link device (MLD) security association (SA) query and query response procedures are described. Any of the links between an access point (AP) MLD and a non-AP MLD may be used to initiate association, reassociation, or disassociation procedures using the SA query requests and responses. The SA query request or response from one of the stations (STAs) associated with the MLD is sent to a corresponding linked one of the STAs associated with the other MLD. The SA request or response is addressed to the other MLD rather than the STA of the other MLD. Retry timeouts and maximum timeouts for resending SA query requests are set by the AP MLD and the same across each of the links.

    Abstract: For example, a first wireless communication device may be configured to determine a negotiated bootstrapping mechanism based on a first message-exchange including Peer-to-Peer (P2P) messages exchanged with a second wireless communication device; to pair the first wireless communication device with the second wireless communication device according to the negotiated bootstrapping mechanism; to derive a Pairwise Master Key Security Association (PMKSA) based on a second message-exchange with the second wireless communication device, e.g., after pairing with the second wireless communication device; and to determine an encryption key according to a third message exchange with the second wireless communication device based on the PMKSA. For example, the encryption key may be configured to encrypt a P2P communication with the second wireless communication device.
