METHODS AND ARRANGEMENTS FOR POWER EFFICIENT REVERSE DIRECTION COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

Logic may enable reverse direction communication with improved power efficiency. Logic may transmit a packet to a Responder during a transmission opportunity with an indication of a reverse direction grant. Logic may receive a response to the packet indicative of a lack of data packets to transmit by the Responder. Logic may enter a defer transmission mode in which transmissions are deferred during the transmission opportunity for greater than a point coordination function interframe space (PIFS) within the transmission opportunity. Logic may grant data transmission rights of the transmission opportunity during the defer transmission mode to the Responder. Logic may grant a contention-based data transmission rights of the transmission opportunity during the defer transmission mode. Logic may grant data transmission rights of the transmission opportunity during the defer transmission mode to the Granter.
