Methods and apparatus for low power wake up signal and operations for WLAN

摘要

Methods and apparatuses for wireless communications are disclosed. In one aspect, an apparatus for wireless communications includes a receiver configured to wirelessly receive a message comprising a time for the apparatus to wake up and instructions to execute an action in response to receiving a paging frame from a wireless communication device. The receiver is further configured to receive the paging frame from the wireless communication device. The apparatus further includes a processor configured to execute the action in response to receiving the paging frame. In one implementation, receiving the paging frame comprises comparing an address of the paging frame with an address of the apparatus. The action may include one or more of sending a power save poll frame, waiting for packet reception, receiving the beacon, and receiving the delivery traffic indication message beacon.

主权项

1. An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:
a processor configured to:
generate a message comprising a target wake up time information element indicating a first time for a wireless communication device to wake up and instructions to execute an action in response to receiving a paging frame from the apparatus, the first time for the wireless communication device to wake up indicating at least a second time at which the paging frame is transmitted; andgenerate the paging frame; and a transmitter configured to:
transmit the message to the wireless communication device; andsubsequently transmit the paging frame to the wireless communication device based on the indicated second time.
