Abstract: A device is disclosed that may identify a frame received from an access point. The device may cause to buffer the payload field. The device may determine that a first payload, in a first payload field, corresponds to a multiband link aggregation (MBLA) Ethertype based at least in part on a logical link layer controller (LLC) field and a subnetwork access protocol (SNAP) Ethertype MBLA field in the first payload, wherein the first payload is within the payload field. The device may cause to remove a LLC MBLA header field from the first payload field. The device may cause to buffer a packet in a reordering queue, wherein the packet is in a second payload field that is in the first payload field. The device may order the packet among a plurality of packets in the reordering queue.

Abstract: Devices and methods are provided to modify block acknowledgement (BA) and/or block acknowledgement response (BAR) control frames to allow for signalling in the reverse direction (RD) process. The new BA and/or BAR control frame uses previously unused fields that are ignored in directive multi-gigabit (DMG) and enhanced DMG (EDMG) networks. The unused fields are repurposed to include a RD Grant (RDG) and an indication that an aggregated media access control (MAC) protocol data unit (MPDU) (A-MPDU) will follow (the indication is referred to as a More PPDU). The change in the BA and/or BAR frame(s) eliminates the need to send a quality of service (QoS) null frame that is typically sent with the BA and/or BAR frame(s), which improves the efficiency of the RD protocol.

Abstract: New wireless networks can perform enhanced beamforming training for a multiple access technique, such as orthogonal frequency division multiple-access (OFDMA). The configurations of the stations and the networks presented herein provide a multiple-station beam refinement protocol (MSBRP) that may be used to train the transmit end and/or the receive end for the stations in a dense wireless local area network (WLAN). The MSBRP can have at least two phases. The first phase concurrently trains the receive side of multiple responder stations from one set of training signals sent from an initiator station. Then, each responder station can send training signals to the initiator station in a set of ordered phases associated with each responder station. The MSBRP eliminates inefficiencies associated with conducting multiple BRPs that include only pairs of stations.
