    Abstract: A Wi-Fi device in a WLAN network includes a processor and a transceiver adapted to be coupled to an antenna, and a power saving medium access in congested network environments algorithm that is activated after a Wi-Fi connection is established with its access point (AP). A Traffic Indication Map (TIM) bitmap in a TIM information element received in a beacon frame from the AP is analyzed to determine whether more than a predetermined number of bits (X) are set to indicate the AP has ≥1 buffered frame for ones of the Wi-Fi devices to conclude whether the WLAN is in a congested environment. When in a congested environment, transmissions responsive to the beacon are postponed by entering a sleep mode for a random period of time (P). After P expires, the sleep mode is exited and a poll frame is transmitted to the AP to try to gain medium access.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) acknowledgement (ACK) packet suppression are described. In various implementations, these systems and methods may be applicable to low-power communications. For example, a method may include receive an incoming TCP packet at a TCP layer implemented by the communication system; de-encapsulating the incoming TCP packet using a TCP protocol to identify an incoming Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) packet; passing the incoming SSL or TLS packet from the TCP layer to an SSL or TLS layer; and signaling, by the SSL or TLS layer to the TCP layer in response to the SSL or TLS layer having received the incoming SSL or TLS packet, that a TCP acknowledgement be suppressed by the TCP layer.

    Abstract translation: 描述了用于传输控制协议(TCP)确认(ACK)分组抑制的系统和方法。 在各种实现中,这些系统和方法可以适用于低功率通信。 例如,一种方法可以包括在通信系统实现的TCP层处接收传入的TCP分组; 使用TCP协议去封装传入的TCP数据包,以识别传入的安全套接层(SSL)或传输层安全(TLS)数据包; 将传入的SSL或TLS数据包从TCP层传递到SSL或TLS层; 并且响应于已经接收到传入SSL或TLS分组的SSL或TLS层,通过SSL或TLS层向TCP层发信号通知TCP层确认TCP确认。
