Systems and methods for paging message enhancement

摘要

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices for paging message enhancement, for example, by allowing packets to accumulate in an access point before sending them to a station. In some implementations, a station may not have an immediate use for a packet waiting in an access point's buffer. The station may save energy and reduce medium occupancy by allowing packets to accumulate at the access point and then receiving the accumulated packets in accordance with certain criteria. Such criteria for accumulation may be based on a Quality of Service (QoS) category, the station address, or the station type. The station may set accumulation parameters, such as a maximum occupied buffer size or a maximum time for which a station's packets are delayed for accumulation.

主权项

1. A method for wireless communications comprising:
transmitting, by a wireless device to an access point of a wireless access network, a first frame including at least one field indicating one or more paging message transmission criteria and parameters indicating a buffer threshold requirement; and receiving, at the wireless device from the access point, a first paging message based on the buffer threshold requirement, wherein the first paging message indicates a first set of data satisfying the one or more paging message transmission criteria is available at the access point for transmission to the wireless device.
