Depending on the AP's capabilities with respect to the EDP features, the non-AP station use different identifiers. For example, one of the EDP features can be used when the AP supports it, allowing the non-AP STA to have continuous services within the ESS despite dynamic changes of the STA's MAC address. Hence, privacy is reinforced. On the other hand, a reference MAC address, previously set for the STA in the ESS, can be used each time the STA associates with an AP of the ESS that does not support the EDP features. As the reference MAC address is known by the ESS for that STA, the services can be served continuously, although the privacy is reduced. Next the high level of privacy can be restored, while keeping continuous services, as soon as the STA associates again with an AP of the ESS that supports the EDP features.

METHOD OF COMMUNICATION WITH PRIVACY MANAGEMENT THROUGH PRIVACY GROUPS OF NON-AP STATIONS
With a view to optimize the privacy in the BSS, the proposed invention introduces privacy groups of non-AP STAs such that the obfuscation procedure of the privacy parameters is performed for each privacy group independently. In that case, a transition period is associated to each privacy group of non-AP stations. The information about the execution of the obfuscation procedure related to each privacy group is exchanged during the association procedure and afterwards within management frames. Each transition period is scheduled such as the number of available values, e.g., AID12 values, is sufficient to perform the obfuscation procedure. The transition periods preferably do not overlap each other, except if the number of available values is sufficient. The groups can be split or merged depending on the evolving number of non-AP stations within the BSS.
A primary channel of an operating channel becomes busy due to interference or OBSS. An AP and a non-AP station agree on secondary channels, SCHs, that may be used for secondary channel access, SCA. SCA support and SCA capabilities are exchanged through management frames, for example during association of the non-AP station with the AP. Hence, in response to determining that the primary channel becomes busy, the two stations switch to a SCH and perform SCA on the SCH. Upon gaining access to the SCH, they exchange data or frames as SCA operation. Upon ending the SCA operation, they return to normal operation on the primary channel. The stations switch from one SCH to another one when the former is also busy. An order of SCHs to be considered is defined in the exchanged management frames.

The present disclosure provides a MAP reporting procedure in which a reporting AP obtains MAP-related information, and sends, to another AP, a reporting frame including an Event Report element according to the 802.11 standard family that comprises the obtained MAP-related information. The Event Report element includes an Event Type set to 6 to identify MAP coordination. The other AP receiving the reporting frame can then take some MAP-related actions based on the received MAP-related information to the effect of performing MAP coordination.
Multi-Access Point, MAP, technology provides some collaboration between neighbouring APs. Better MAP coordination is sought, in particular with respect to triggering procedures that trigger and allocate resources to other "coordinated" APs. A communication method in a wireless network is proposed that comprises, at a first AP managing a first BSS, sending a MAP Trigger frame allocating resources to a coordinated AP and soliciting a transmission within the allocated resources. A MAP BSRP TF collecting AP needs may precede a MAP MU-RTS TF to protect the medium and a MAP Basic TF to trigger communication for the coordinated APs. Various signalling are proposed to signal MAP type in the Trigger frames as well as to signal resource allocation to coordinated APs.

IMPROVED DISCOVERY OF P2P GROUPS USING ASSISTANCE OF APS IN INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORKS
The invention provides new mechanisms that favor discovery of communication groups managed by soft APs, such as P2P Groups controlled by P2P Group Owners. Any station participating in such a communication group notifies an existing AP, e.g., of an infrastructure BSS, about the communication group, to drive that existing AP to advertise about the communication group over its operating channel. In that way, the station solicits discovery assistance to the AP. Other stations operating on the same channel as the AP become aware of the communication group without having to scan multiple channels. They may join the communication group by switching to the operating channel of the targeted group. The assistance of multiple existing APs can be solicited. In particular, multiple APs affiliated to the same AP MLD may advertise about the group, as soon as one of them receives the notification and shares the information with the others.
When links of a non-AP MLD become NSTR or EMLSR links and the non-AP MLD performs P2P communications or experiences OBSS interferences over one of the constrained links, it sends a Coexistence link report about the P2P session or the OBSS to the AP MLD. A Channel Usage Request frame can be used. The AP MLD may take actions to the effect of reducing scheduling for the non-AP MLD involved in the P2P session that interferes with the P2P communication or of avoiding scheduling it over the link experiencing OBSS interferences. The AP MLD may avoid scheduling downlink communication to the non-AP MLD over the other constrained link, while the P2P session is on-going on the first constrained link. Actions may also be taken by the AP MLD to release such limitations when the P2P session ends, or when the non- AP MLD become inactive with respect to the P2P session.

METHODS AND DEVICES FOR TWT COORDINATION IN MULTI-AP OPERATION
To reduce OBSS interference, a neighbouring AP in a MAP coordination set of APs receives, from a target AP managing a target BSS, a MAP coordination frame specifying a TWT schedule provided in the target BSS. The neighbouring AP defines an OBSS TWT schedule having TWT SPs at least partially overlapping with TWT SPs of the TWT schedule in the target BSS. The OBSS TWT schedule forbids the stations of the neighbouring BSS to access the wireless medium during the OBSS TWT SPs. Alternatively, it defines reduced communication activities for those stations during the OBSS TWT SPs, by setting an OBSS EDCA Parameter Set to be used. In a further alternative, it indicates a temporary operating channel for stations of the neighbouring BSS to switch to the temporary operating channel for their communications during the OBSS TWT SPs.

METHOD FOR RESYNCHRONIZING THE MAC ADDRESS OF A NON-AP STATION
With an enhanced Randomized and Changing MAC procedure, an AP and a registered non-AP station apply a MAC change in a synchronized manner, to prevent frames from being sent with an old MAC address. The MAC change time is based on counting the beacon frames sent by the AP station. Desynchronization appears when the non-AP station misses one or more beacon frames. To correct the desynchronization, the invention proposes that upon receiving a data frame having a Transmitter Address field set to an unknown MAC value, the AP sends a MAC resynchronization frame addressed to the unknown MAC address value to cause the addressee non-AP station to change its current MAC address value into a new MAC address value. This forces the non-AP station to anticipate the changing of its MAC address to the next MAC address, hence reducing or removing the desynchronization.

To optimize latency and throughputs in 802.11 network implementing multi-link P2P communication sessions on multiple P2P links, a P2P TID-To-Link mapping specific to the multiple P2P links and defining a mapping of TIDs to the multiple P2P links is negotiated between the two peer non-AP MLDs of the session. The P2P TID-To-Link map is carried in a TID-to-Link Mapping information element, IE, according to the IEEE 802.11be/D2.0 standard that is included in exchanged TDLS Action frames, e.g. when establishing multiple single-link TDLS direct links. The MLDs check whether a proposed P2P TID-To-Link mapping received from the peer MLD matches its own TID-To-Link mapping with an AP MLD. Once the P2P TID-To-Link mapping is agreed on, the peer MLDs directly communicate through the multiple P2P links based on the negotiated TID-to-Link mapping.

OFF-CHANNEL TDLS COMMUNICATION FOR MULTI-LINK DEVICES
A non-AP MLD (120) obtains a link ID, which defines an off-link corresponding to at least one off-channel (172b) that does not overlap the channel(s) used by the AP device. The non-AP MLD (120) establishes, through the channel(s) used by the AP device, a TDLS direct link, between a first TDLS STA, (122) affiliated with the non-AP MLD (120) and a second TDLS STA (132) of a second non-AP MLD (130), using the link ID as an indication of the off-link for the TDLS direct link. The non-AP MLD (120) operates a peer-to-peer communication between the first and second TDLS STAs, over the off-link.
Single link TDLS direct link according to IEEE 802.11be/D2.0 does not benefit from the multiple link features to improve aggregation, common block acknowledgement and retransmission through plural links. The invention provides multi-link TDLS direct link by augmenting TDLS Action frames exchanged during TDLS direct link establishment. The augmented frames signal plural TDLS links from amongst multiple setup communication links of the emitting non-AP MLD. Those links are intended links on which to establish the TDLS direct link. The other peer non-AP MLD can, through the frame exchange, negotiate another set of links. In embodiments, an augmented TDLS Multi-Link IE embeds Per-TDLS STA Profiles, each of which signals a specific TDLS link. A Profile conveys a Link ID and a MAC address of the corresponding affiliated STA of the transmitting non-AP MLD. The non-AP MLDs therefore share their affiliated STAs' MAC addresses, hence simplifying the signaling in the P2P data frames.

MANAGING NETWORK CONNECTIVITY IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
A method for use in managing network connectivity in a wireless communication system including at least one mobile Integrated Access and Backhaul, (mIAB), node is disclosed. The method at a mIAB node comprises providing, to a wireless communication device, a mobility message, wherein the mobility message includes at least one of: mobility profile information indicating the mobility capability of the mIAB node; guaranteed static time information indicating a minimum time period for which the mIAB node remains at a certain location. The mobility profile information may include at least one of: speed information indicating a speed capability of the mIAB node, range information indicating a mobility area of the mIAB node, static information indicating a duration of one or more static periods the mIAB node may experience, itinerary information indicating a sequence of mobility and static periods for an itinerary the mIAB node may follow.
The invention improves user privacy in wireless networks by making fingerprinting of management frames more difficult. It is achieved by obfuscating the IEs that populate a management frame. Some IEs to be included in the management frame are grouped into sets; each set of one or more IEs is encrypted into an encrypted portion; each encrypted portion is embedded within the information part of a new IE, acting as a container. One or more of such Container IEs are then embedded in the frame body of the management frame under construction. The management frame can then be transmitted. By changing obfuscating parameters used to build the Container IEs, when the station changes its own MAC address based on a RCM procedure, the same frame, such as a beacon frame, can have a very different fingerprint after the MAC address change. Fingerprint-based correlation between frames is therefore made more difficult.

PER-LINK (TWT, R-TWT) PROCEDURE SUPPORT AND STATE SWITCHES FOR EMLSR OR ELMLR CO-AFFILIATED STATIONS
A non-AP MLD operates in an EML mode that applies in a set of EML links. The non-AP MLD receives, by a first affiliated station, a first beacon frame over a first link of the EML links, the first beacon frame including a TBTT related to a second beacon frame. Moreover, the non-AP MLD configures the first affiliated station to be in a receiving state at the TBTT to receive the second beacon frame.
A non-AP MLD operates on multi-links with an UL TID-To-Link mapping. When activating the EML mode, it selects a set of EML links in which links the EML mode is applied, as a function of the UL TID-To-Link mapping, and it transmits to an AP MLD a notification specifying the selected set of EML links. In addition or as an alternative, while the non-AP MLD operates in an EML mode with a set of EML links, it transmits, in response to a BSRP TF received from the AP MLD over a first EML link of the set of EML links, a BSR frame reporting buffered traffic as a function of the UL TID-To-Link mapping, to the AP MLD, over the first EML link.
An EMLSR-active non-AP MLD desires to initiate a frame exchange with the AP MLD over one of the EMLSR links. A first link is chosen and the corresponding "first" affiliated STA invokes and starts an EDCA backoff procedure that decrements one or more backoff counters, to access the first link. Alternatively, each EMLSR co-affiliated STA may invoke an EDCA backoff procedure to access their respective link. In embodiments, the first affiliated STA is switched from a listening operation state to an enabled frame exchange state, before invoking the EDCA backoff procedure. In other embodiments, the first affiliated STA first invokes the EDCA backoff procedure, and is switched to the enabled frame exchange state when the backoff counter expires. A corresponding state switching procedure may be invoked so that it ends with the expiry of the backoff counter, or responsive to an expiry of the backoff counter.
According to some embodiments of the disclosure, it is provided a method of communication in an intelligent transport system, ITS, comprising at an ITS station, ITS-S, under test, SUT, receiving a request to obtain data from at least one component of the SUT, the received request comprising an item of information enabling selection of at least one component of the SUT, selecting at least one component of the SUT as a function of the received item of information, and obtaining data from the at least one selected component, and transmitting an ITS message comprising the obtained data.

IMPROVED r-TWT-BASED COMMUNICATION METHODS FOR P2P STREAM
To facilitate P2P transmissions within a restricted Target Wake Time, rTWT, schedule, an AP of a BSS that has established membership of a peer station in the rTWT schedule and that detects P2P traffic between the peer station and a partner peer station of the BSS, may notify the partner peer station about the existing rTWT schedule. The AP may further invite the peer stations to establish a Direct Link communication session. The notification may be included in said invitation or be carried through an unsolicited TWT frame enrolling the partner peer station in the rTWT schedule. It turns out that the partner peer station now wakes up for the service periods of the rTWT schedule, hence facilitating the direct or relayed transmission of P2P data within one and the same service period.
