    摘要: In one aspect, a transmitting device may frequency-division multiplex a wake-up signature (WUS) targeted to a wake-up receiver (WUR) of a receiving device with user data targeted to a main transceiver of each of one or more other receiving devices into an output signal. The output signal is then transmitted. A receiving device having a WUR and a main transceiver of the receiving device detects, at the WUR, a WUS targeted for the WUR in a received signal. The WUS is frequency-division multiplexed with user data for one or more other receiving devices in the received signal. The receiving device wakes up the main transceiver in response to the detecting.
