    Abstract: Methods and systems for accessing networks prohibit uncontrolled communications over a designated network. In some aspects, a method of controlling network access is disclosed. The method comprises transmitting, by a first access point, a first beacon over a first network to a station, the first beacon including information allowing the station to associate with the first access point. The method also comprises receiving a probe request at the first access point over the first network from the station, the probe request including a request for rules for associating with a second network. The method additional comprises generating a probe response to include the rules regarding associating with the second network, wherein the rules do not permit uncontrolled communications over the second network. The method further comprises transmitting the probe response from the first access point to the station over the first network.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for managing data traffic in restricted target wake time (TWT) service periods (SPs). In some aspects, an access point (AP) receives a request frame from a wireless station (STA) associated with a client device via a peer-to-peer (P2P) link, the request frame indicating the STA intends to exchange P2P communications with the client device during a r-TWT SP scheduled on a wireless medium. The AP obtains a transmission opportunity (TXOP) on the wireless medium during the r-TWT SP, the request frame identifying the client device. The AP transmits a trigger frame on the wireless medium responsive to obtaining the TXOP, the trigger frame allocating a portion of the obtained TXOP for P2P communications between the STA and the client device, wherein at least one of the response frame or the trigger frame indicates a Network Allocation Vector (NAV) exception for the client device.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for synchronized channel access. Some implementations more specifically relate to facilitating coexistence among wireless communication devices that support synchronized channel access and those that do not. A group of access points may schedule periodically recurring, synchronized channel access periods by periodically transmitting quiet elements. The quiet elements establish recurring quiet periods during which legacy devices are not permitted to transmit. In some implementations, an access point may transmit one or more quiet override elements each associated with a respective quiet element and indicating to other access points supporting synchronized channel access that they are permitted to contend for access during the respective quiet period. In some other implementations of synchronized channel access, an access point supporting synchronized channel access that wins contention after one or more consecutive synchronized channel access periods during which no other synchronized access points won contention, may be entitled to an extended TXOP.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for communicating information of multiple wireless access points (APs) affiliated with an AP multi-link device (MLD). Some aspects more specifically relate to techniques for communicating information regarding multiple APs affiliated with an AP MLD in multiple response frames. In some examples, a first response frame may include information regarding a first set of APs that is less than all of the APs indicated by a wireless station (STA) MLD request and a second response frame may include information regarding a second set of APs including one or more AP of the APs missing from the first set of APs. Some examples may additionally or alternatively provide for an AP MLD signaling an indication of a number of allowed association links with respect to the AP MLD, such as for establish a maximum number of allowed association links.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for use of a reinforcement learning (RL) model to obtain one or more parameters associated with a channel access procedure. Some aspects more specifically relate to mechanisms according to which a wireless communication device may receive information associated with the RL model and transmit a protocol data unit (PDU) during a slot that is based on an output of the model. The wireless communication device may use the RL model to perform a distributed channel access procedure in accordance with the information and may further transmit the PDU, during the slot that is based on the output of the RL model, in accordance with the distributed channel access procedure. The information associated with the RL model may indicate or configure the RL model or may indicate whether the wireless communication is allowed to retrain the RL model.
