Power Management for Wireless Networks

摘要

Embodiments provide techniques for device power management in wireless networks. For instance, an apparatus may include a power management module, and a transceiver module. The power management module determines a beacon interval and a wakeup interval. The transceiver module to send a transmission to one or more remote devices that includes the beacon interval and the wakeup interval. The beacon interval indicates a time interval between consecutive beacon transmissions of the apparatus, and the wakeup interval indicates a time interval between when the apparatus receives two consecutive beacons from a peer device.

主权项

1. At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions that, in response to being executed at a processing platform for a wireless communication device, cause the processing platform to:
identify a received first beacon indicating a beacon interval of a peer mesh point (MP); demodulate an awake window information element (IE) comprised in the first beacon; based on a determination of an awake window of the peer MP, exchange one or more communications with the peer MP while the peer MP is in an awake state, the awake window of the peer MP to be determined based on the awake window IE; and exit a doze state to receive a second beacon of the peer MP, the doze state to be exited at a time to be determined based on the beacon interval of the peer MP.
