    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for managing a group of Wi-Fi-enabled wearable or handheld wireless devices using a shared address. Some aspects more specifically relate to a negotiation of a shared address that corresponds to a group of Wi-Fi-enabled wearable or handheld devices and use of the shared address during a connection setup procedure for the group. In some implementations, by performing the connection setup procedure using the shared address, one wearable or handheld device may perform the connection setup procedure on behalf of the group. Wearable or handheld devices of the group also may exchange packets to indicate, with respect to the shared address, respective link identifiers (IDs) uniquely corresponding to each respective wearable or handheld device of the group, which the wearable or handheld devices of the group may use to differentiate traffic intended for different wearable or handheld devices of the group.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Techniques described herein provide for extending the range of a personal audio device connected to a personal wireless communication device via enabling the personal audio device to connect to and communicate with the personal wireless communication device via an access point (AP). An AP may have a larger range than a personal wireless communication device, and accordingly, an AP may be used to stream audio or voice calls to the personal audio device when the direct link quality between the personal audio device and the personal wireless communication device is below a threshold. To reduce latency and packet loss associated with transitions between communicating with the personal wireless communication device directly and via the AP or transitions between multiple APs, the personal audio device may be configured to establish a new wireless communication connection before breaking a current wireless communication connection.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for extended long range wireless packet design. Some aspects more specifically relate to increasing a data rate, a coverage range, or both for extended long range (ELR) wireless communications systems by updating an ELR wireless packet design. A wireless communications device, such as a wireless station (STA), may transmit an ELR wireless packet to another wireless communications device, such as a wireless access point (AP), with updated preamble fields, boosted transmit power for one or more preamble fields, and/or additional repetitions for one or more preamble fields. Additionally, or alternatively, the wireless communications device may transmit an ELR wireless packet using a narrow bandwidth to increase coverage range for an ELR wireless communications system.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a network node may transmit an indication of a media access control (MAC) address associated with an access point to a group of access points included in a network. The network node may receive single-sided round-trip-time (RTT) data associated with a user device associated with the access point, wherein the single-sided RTT data is received from each of the group of access points based at least in part on transmitting the indication of the MAC address to the group of access points. The network node may determine a location of the user device based at least in part on the single-sided RTT data. The network node may transmit an indication of the location of the user device to the access point. Numerous other aspects are described.
