Systems and techniques are described herein for network organization. For instance, a process can include receiving, from a second sensing apparatus of the self-organizing network, an indication of a first task. The process can further include retrieving a first power profile associated with the first task, determining a current battery level of the at least one battery, predicting a future battery level of the at least one battery based on the current battery level, and the first power profile associated with the first task, and transmitting, to another sensing apparatus, the predicted future battery level.

In one aspect, there is a method that includes displaying a user-selectable icon to report a suspicious electronic message. The method further includes receiving selections of the electronic message and the user-selectable icon. The method further includes quarantining the electronic message in response to the selections. The method further includes electronically communicating the electronic message to a processor for performing threat analysis in response to the selections. The method further includes receiving a response message in response to the performed threat analysis, the response message indicating a threat status of the electronic message. The method further includes processing the electronic message in response to the response message, wherein processing comprises at least one of deleting the electronic message, leaving the electronic message in quarantine, and/or moving the electronic message to the first folder.

Analysis and reporting of suspicious email

Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication at a station. The station identifies a first set of enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) parameters for a first access category based at least in part on a first traffic type and a determination that a multiple user (MU) frame is to be transmitted, and contends to gain access for a transmission opportunity over a shared radio frequency spectrum band to communicate with a plurality of other stations in a MU mode. The contention is based at least in part on the first set of EDCA parameters.

Methods, devices, and computer program products for traffic information signaling in a wireless communications network are disclosed. In one aspect, a method of wireless communication network is disclosed. The method includes selecting, from a variable number of control fields, one or more control fields for inclusion in a frame. The method further includes generating the frame comprising the selected number of control fields, each control field comprising an end of control field, the end of control field storing an indicator indicative of an end of the selected number of control fields or a presence of another control field in the frame. The method further includes transmitting the frame.

Methods and apparatus for communicating high efficiency control information

Methods and apparatus for managing reuse of a wireless medium are provided. One method of managing reuse of a wireless medium includes determining, at an access point, whether to allow reuse of the wireless medium by one or more stations in a basic service set (BSS). The method further includes transmitting, upon determining to allow reuse, an indication that reuse of the wireless medium can be permitted for stations meeting a criteria. The method further includes determining one or more reuse parameters. The method further includes transmitting the one or more reuse parameters.

Systems and methods for reuse of wireless communication resources in neighboring communication networks

The present disclosure provides techniques for configuring the utilization of request-to-send/clear-to-send (RTS/CTS) protocol procedures based on varying conditions at the STA. For example, an AP may identify one or more conditions, when satisfied, may trigger the STA to either enable or disable uplink (UL) transmissions associated with a RTS/CTS protocol procedure. In some aspects, an AP may determine a transmit opportunity (TXOP) threshold for an STA and may determine whether to broadcast a message having the TXOP threshold to multiple STAs including the STA or unicast the message to the STA. An STA may receive a message from an AP having a TXOP threshold and may replace, based on an indication in the received message, a current TXOP threshold in the STA with the TXOP threshold in the received message. The STA may transmit an UL RTS frame in response to a determination that a planned TXOP duration satisfies the TXOP threshold.

Access point (AP) controlled uplink RTS/CTS configuration and disablement

An apparatus for wireless communication includes data defragmentation logic configured to receive, during a first transmit opportunity, a first data packet from a first device and a second data packet from a second device. The first data packet includes a first data fragment, and the second data packet includes a second data fragment. The apparatus also includes block acknowledgement generation logic configured to generate a block acknowledgement frame including a first block acknowledgement bitmap and a second block acknowledgement bitmap. The first block acknowledgement bitmap indicates at least the first data fragment received from the first device, and the second block acknowledgement bitmap indicates at least the second data fragment received from the second device. The apparatus further includes a wireless interface configured to transmit the block acknowledgement frame to the first device and to the second device.

Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication at a receiving device. A receiving device may receive a first physical layer header of a first wireless local area network (WLAN) protocol data unit over a shared radio frequency spectrum band. The first physical layer header may include at least a first basic service set (BSS) identifier and a first device association identifier (AID). The receiving device may perform, based at least in part on the first BSS identifier and the first device AID, an intra-frame operation including a power saving operation and/or a receive filtering operation.

Techniques for performing an intra-frame operation based at least in part on identifiers in a wireless local area network physical layer header

Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communications. A network may employ additional contention based parameters to support MU transmissions and to communicate to other devices a duration that protects MU transmission. For example, a first device may transmit a first message to reserve a subband of shared spectrum. The first message may be addressed to multiple devices and may indicate a channel access deferral duration to other devices within transmission range. The non-addressed devices may refrain from accessing the channel for an indicated duration. The addressed devices that receive the first message may respond to the first message with a second message, which may also be used to reserve the channel. The second message may additionally be used to identify those devices that received the first message. The first device may generate a trigger message based on the received second messages.

Techniques for protecting communications in wireless local area networks

Systems and methods are disclosed that may provide for selective multi-user uplink (UL) of data for wireless devices. For example, a first wireless device may request permission to initiate a UL transmission to a second wireless device. The first wireless device may then receive, from the second wireless device, permission to initiate the UL transmission according to a multi-user (MU) UL protocol, determine a threshold duration for the UL transmission, and transmit UL data to the second wireless device according to the MU UL protocol and the threshold duration.
