Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. In an aspect, an apparatus may be configured to determine whether to switch to an active mode, a power save mode, or a TWT power save mode. During the TWT power save mode, the apparatus may enter an awake state during TWT service periods and may enter a doze state outside of the TWT service periods. The apparatus may transmit a message to a second wireless device based on the determination.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide an apparatus for wireless communications. The apparatus generally includes a processing system configured to generate a data frame based on a compressed data frame format and to include control information in at least one field of the data frame, wherein the at least one field is not specified in the compressed data frame format and an interface for outputting the data frame for transmission. Another example apparatus generally includes a processing system configured to generate a frame having a first one or more bits indicating whether the frame has a compressed format and a second one or more bits indicating which of one or more fields are absent if the frame has a compressed format and an interface for outputting the frame for transmission.
Abstract:
A method includes generating, at a first device, a paging message. The method includes, during a first transmission window of a data link group of a neighbor aware network (NAN), sending the paging message from the first device to one or more devices of the data link group. The method further includes, during a second transmission window of the data link group and prior to a data window of the second transmission window, sending data traffic to a particular device of the one or more devices without sending a traffic announcement to the particular device during a second paging window of the second transmission window.
Abstract:
A method of communication includes transmitting a message from a first electronic device of a neighbor aware network (NAN) to a second electronic device of the NAN via a first communication channel of a plurality of communication channels during a discovery window. The message indicates that the first electronic device is available to communicate. The method also includes monitoring a second communication channel of the plurality of communication channels during a first paging window of a transmission window. The first paging window includes a beginning portion of the transmission window, and electronic devices of the NAN are in an active state during the first paging window.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. In one aspect, the apparatus, being a first wireless device, establishes a session with a second wireless device based on a first set of link parameters and transmits, to the second wireless device, information regarding a second set of link parameters for use by the second wireless device for subsequent communication during the session. In another aspect, the apparatus establishes a session with a second wireless device based on a first set of link parameters, receives, from the second wireless device, information regarding a second set of link parameters, and communicates with the second wireless device based on the information regarding the second set of link parameters.
Abstract:
A method includes generating a first traffic announcement message at a first electronic device of a data link. The first traffic announcement message indicates first data is to be transmitted from the first electronic device to a second electronic device of the data link. The method also includes transmitting the first traffic announcement message to one or more electronic devices of the data link during a first paging window.
Abstract:
In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a station. The station receives a first beacon frame from an access point. The first beacon frame includes a first indication of a first set of domains that are supported by the access point. The station determines that the station has not established credentials with any one domain of the first set of domains. The station may receive a second beacon frame from the access point. The second beacon frame includes a second indication of a second set of domains that are supported by the access point. The first set of domains is different from the second set of domains. The station may send, to the access point, a probe request frame including a third indication of a third set of domains with which the station has established second credentials.
Abstract:
A method includes transmitting, at an electronic device in a neighbor aware network (NAN), a discovery beacon at a designated discovery beacon transmission time. The designated discovery beacon transmission time is determined based on an internal clock of the electronic device. The method further includes synchronizing the internal clock to a clock reference that is external to the electronic device.
Abstract:
A particular method includes receiving, at an access point, a set up message from a station. The set up message requests allocation of an internet protocol (IP) address. The method further includes selecting an available IP address from a pool of available IP addresses to assign to the station based on the set up message. The method further includes assigning the available IP address to the station as an assigned IP address. The method also includes transmitting a set up response to the station. The set up response identifies the assigned IP address.
Abstract:
In a power save scheme, signaling and information transfers are scheduled to increase the amount of time a device in a wireless system can operate in power save mode. Multiple periods of time are allocated for signaling and for information transfer during a beacon interval. Control signaling during a signaling block indicates whether a given device should be awake for an information transfer during a subsequent information transfer period during the beacon interval. Thus, based on the indication, the device determines whether to be awake or asleep during the information transfer period.
