Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for data driven sounding feedback reports are provided herein. A method may include transmitting a request frame to an access point (AP), the frame including information indicating at least one of an index-based feedback capability or a channel state information (CSI) set request field; receiving, in response to the request frame, a response frame including information indicating a CSI candidate set; and performing, based on the indicated CSI candidate set, a beamforming sounding procedure. The method may further include sending CSI measurements obtained from the beamforming sounding procedure to the AP. The response frame may be carried in a broadcast or beacon message. The information indicating the CSI candidate set may be a bitmap. The request frame may include information indicating a request for a CSI candidate set. The response frame may include information indicating whether the indicated CSI candidate set is a requested CSI candidate set.

Abstract: A method performed by a first station (STA) may compromise: receiving, from an access point (AP) that has an established transmission opportunity (TXOP) with a second STA, a multi-user request-to-send (MU-RTS) transmission opportunity (TXOP) sharing (TXS) trigger frame, wherein the MU-RTS TXS trigger frame includes: (i) an indication that the AP is sharing the TXOP established with the second STA with the first STA, and (ii) an indication of a duration of the shared TXOP; and transmitting, in response to the MU-RTS TXS trigger frame, one or more uplink (UL) frames within the duration of the shared TXOP indicated by the MU-RTS TXS trigger frame.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described herein for multiple-access point (multi-AP) sounding procedures in a wireless local area network (WLAN). A coordinating AP (CAP) may receive, from one or more member APs in a multi-AP set (MAPS), one or more indications indicating that the one or more member APs are capable of multi-AP sounding during a transmission opportunity (TXOP). The CAP may transmit a CAP TXOP indication (CTI) frame indicating that the multi-AP sounding is to be performed during a TXOP acquired by the CAP. The CAP may receive a CAP TXOP request (CTR) frame indicating that the one or more member APs of the MAP are willing to perform multi-AP sounding during the TXOP. The CAP may transmit a CAP TXOP AP schedule (CTAS) frame indicating a transmission schedule for one or more sounding frames to be transmitted by the one or more member APs during the TXOP.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for operating in multi-access point (AP) wireless networks are described herein. A method performed by an AP may include transmitting, using a set of resources, a multi-AP ready-to-send (RTS) frame to at least one other AP and a plurality of stations (STAs). The method may include transmitting another frame using a portion of the set of resources. The method may include receiving, using the portion of the set of resources, a clear-to-send (CTS) frame from at least one STA of the plurality of STAs in response to the another frame. The method may include transmitting, using the portion of the set of resources, a data frame to the at least one STA. The multi-AP RTS frame may include resource allocation information for the at least one other AP and the plurality of STAs.

Abstract: Devices, methods, and/or systems for broadcasting in a wireless local area network (WLAN). A STA receives a frame from a wireless access point (AP) which includes an indication that an enhanced broadcast service (eBCS) service is ending. The frame may include an end-of-broadcast-service announcement information element, and/or an indication of a time at which the eBCS service is ending. The STA may negotiate with the AP for continuation of the broadcast service if the STA desires to continue receiving the eBCS service beyond the time at which the eBCS service ends. The STA may receive a trigger frame from the AP which triggers a response from the STA indicating that it desires to continue receiving the eBCS service beyond the time at which the eBCS service ends.

Abstract: A method for use in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). The method comprises: receiving LRRE information from an AP; determining whether a first condition is satisfied by the WTRU, wherein the first condition is satisfied by the WTRU, on a condition that the first condition is satisfied, sending a mode change request to the AP to change an operation mode to a LRRE HARQ mode; receiving a response regarding the mode change request from the AP; and communicating with the AP using a plurality of PPDUs, each of the PPDUs comprising at least one field enabling transmissions between the WTRU and the AP under the first condition and a LRRE HARQ mode indication.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for interference discovery for full-duplex data transmission are provided. In an embodiment, a station (STA) receives a full-duplex request message from an access point (AP). The STA transmits a first full-duplex response message to the AP. The STA listens for a second full-duplex response message transmitted from a second STA to the AP. The STA determines a received power of the second full-duplex response message from the second STA to the AP. The STA receives a first trigger message from the AP. The first trigger message includes information to perform full-duplex data transmission. The STA transmits data to the AP in response to the first trigger message. The STA transmits interference information to the AP. The interference information is based on the determined received power

Abstract: An access point (AP) that supports the IEEE 802.11ba protocol may transmit a frame including a physical layer (PHY) preamble to one or more stations (STAs) over a channel. The PHY preamble may include a plurality of repeated modulated legacy signal (L-SIG) fields to spoof a recipient of the frame and protect a wake up signal (WUS) to be subsequently transmitted by the AP. The AP may transmit the WUS to at least a first STA of the one or more STAs, wherein the at least the first STA is a IEEE 802.11ba compliant STA.

Abstract: Procedures and mechanisms for narrowband multi-channel transmission for wakeup radio (WUR) operation are disclosed. A station (STA) operating in WUR mode may have its a primary connectivity radio (PCR) turned off and its WUR turned and operating according to previously negotiated WUR operating parameters. The STA may monitor, for WUR beacons and frames over a first WUR channel, and determine that the first WUR channel does not support reliable transmission based on no beacons being received within a first duration. The STA may turn off the WUR, and turn on the PCR to send a first short WUR frame including a wakeup reason, and receive a second short WUR frame with a WUR channel assignment. The STA may turn off the PCR, turn on the WUR, and monitor for WUR signals on a second WUR channel according to the WUR channel assignment and the previously negotiated WUR operating parameters.
