POWER SAVE MECHANISM IN A WLAN NETWORK WITH LARGE NUMBER OF STATIONS

摘要

Methods, systems, and devices are described for saving power in wireless communications. One aspect includes providing an indication of a sleep duration for transmission to a wireless node, communicating with the wireless node during a target wakeup time (TWT), wherein the communication comprises at least one of providing data for transmission to the wireless node or obtaining data received from the wireless node, and refraining from providing data for transmission to the wireless node for at least the indicated sleep duration based at least in part on timing of the communication. Another aspect includes receiving an indication of a sleep duration from a wireless node, communicating with the wireless node during a time slot of a TWT, and entering a sleep mode for the indicated sleep duration based at least in part on timing of the communication with the wireless node during the time slot of the TWT.
