Various schemes pertaining to global cyclic shift delay (CSD) assignment for distributed-tone resource unit (dRU) transmissions in wireless communications are described. An apparatus applies a CSD index assignment in distributing a plurality of subcarriers of a resource unit (RU) over a bandwidth to generate an extremely-high-throughput short training field (EHT-STF) of a dRU. The apparatus then transmits symbols of the EHT-STF of the dRU. The CSD index assignment is based on a dRU hierarchical structure with one or more CSD indexes shared among multiple dRUs of different sizes but not among multiple dRUs of a same size.

Systems and methods of transmitting and receiving a Wake-Up Radio (WUR) packet by using a simplified preamble structure that contains no training field. The preamble carries a signature sequence selected from a set of predefined sequences, each corresponding to a different data transmission rate. The preamble and the control information of the WUR packet are transmitted in the same rate as indicated by the selected sequence. Hence, a receiving WUR can determine the data transmission rate and locate the associated control information directly if a sequence that matches a predefined signature sequence is detected. The same sequence or in combination with an additional sequence in the preamble may also be used to indicate automatic gain control synchronization, packet type and other related information.

An encryption mechanism used on cooperative multi-band wireless STA architecture that enables full duplex operations. In encrypting a frame, an AAD can be constructed by using a selected MAC address, which may not be associated with a band to be used for transmitting the frame in an upcoming TXOP. An STA that supports simultaneous transmission in a multi-band operation uses the same MAC address to encrypt the frames to be transmitted on different bands. An AAD is constructed by using a same MAC address corresponding to one of the transceivers. A transmit STA may specify band information used for encryption in the MAC header, which serves to signal the receive STA to decrypt the frame by using the proper information.
