    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to allocating synchronized and unsynchronized time periods in multiuser multiple-input and multiple-output (MU-MIMO) communications. A device may determine a first portion and a second portion of a beacon interval. The device may determine the first portion to comprise one or more first service periods associated with one or more first devices. The device may determine the second portion to comprise one or more second service periods associated with one or more second devices. The device may cause to send one or more first frames to at least one of the first devices during the one or more first service periods. The device may cause to send one or more second frames to at least one of the second devices during the one or more second service periods.

    Abstract: Techniques for power saving by remote wireless mobile devices are provided, in particular by stations (STAs) during downlink (DL) multiple-user multiple-input and multiple-output (MU-MIMO) transmissions in an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11ay network when reverse direction (RD) transmissions are either enabled and not enabled. Various embodiments enable each STA in a group of STAs to determine an order in which the STAs are requested to send a block acknowledgement (BACK) and which STAs will be granted an RD transmission. Further, a duration of each RD transmission is provided to each STA. Based on the provided information, each STA can determine times to enter a power saving mode. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
