Abstract:
Techniques for signaling a mobile communications device in a special operating state that data bursts contain messages relevant to the special operating state. The signaling may be implemented using one or more bits in a frame control header (FCH). As a result, the mobile communication device may be decode the FCH first and decode data bursts only if there is an indication the data bursts contain a relevant message. Power savings may be achieved at the mobile communications device by avoiding decoding data bursts with no relevant messages.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The method may include determining a signal strength indication from a field of a management frame associated with one or more information elements, comparing the signal strength indication to a first threshold and a second threshold, and performing a low-power operation for at least a remaining portion of the management frame based on determining that the signal strength indication is: greater than the second threshold, or less than the first threshold, or greater than the second threshold and less than the first threshold.
