Abstract:
This disclosure describes systems and methods for implementing power save modes of operation while maintaining a WLAN communications link. The techniques of the invention involve coordinating power save mode periods between the participating devices by through the use of a Peer Power Save Information Element (PPS IE) included in the beacon frame transmitted by one of the devices. The PPS IE may include an Enabled/disabled bit, a PPS Count value and a PPS Duration. The PPS Count may be decremented from an initial value after each beacon transmission until the count reaches zero, at which point the device may be configured to enter power save mode for the period indicated by the PPS Duration. During power save mode, the device may track the duration and awaken after the corresponding period of time to begin transmitting and receiving beacons again.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for coordinating operation of WLAN and Bluetooth systems to manage an AMP connection based on an operational status of the WLAN transceiver.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for facilitating coordination among member stations in an IBSS to allow members to remain in a power save mode of operation for extended periods of time without awakening to transmit or receive beacons at each scheduled TBTT. A power save initiator may establish a power save period during which all nodes in the network may enter a power save mode. Correspondingly, beacons may not be sent during the extended power save period and any traffic to be exchanged between members of the IBSS WLAN may be buffered for delivery after the extended power save period ends.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for neighbor awareness networking extension to 6 GHz networks. A method is provided that may be performed by a wireless communication device. The wireless communication device discovers one or more peer devices in a neighborhood aware network (NAN) on a first radio frequency band. The wireless communication device discovers a capability of at least one of the one or more peer devices for communicating on a 6 GHz radio frequency band and/or publishes a capability of the wireless communication device for communicating on the 6 GHz radio frequency band. The wireless communication device establishes a NAN device link with the at least one peer device on the 6 GHz radio frequency band.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for a priority-aware transmit power control in compliance with a radio frequency (RF) exposure limit. An example method of wireless communication includes obtaining a transmit power budget for a time interval. The method further includes obtaining at least a first packet having a first priority and a second packet having a second priority lower than the first priority for transmission in the time interval. The method further includes determining a first transmit power for a first signal representing at least the first packet based at least in part on the transmit power budget, the first priority, and a time elapsed in the time interval. The method further includes transmitting the first signal representing at least the first packet at the determined first transmit power.
