Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a transmitter may detect at least one distance between the transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter may transmit, to the receiver, information using a selected band of a wide band or a narrow band, where the selected band is based at least in part on the at least one distance. Similarly, in some aspects, a receiver may detect at least one distance between the receiver and a transmitter. The receiver may receive, from the transmitter, information using a selected band of a wide band or a narrow band, where the selected band is based at least in part on the at least one distance. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. One method may include communicating with an access point (AP) during awake intervals in which the wireless device is in an awake mode, determining a congestion level associated with a radio frequency (RF) spectrum band, and determining, for an awake interval, an inactivity timeout (ITO) interval for the wireless device to remain in the awake mode based on an identified RF spectrum band and the determined congestion level used by the wireless device to communicate with the AP. A second method may include polling an AP during a delivery traffic indication message (DTIM) period, and modifying timing for the station to poll the AP based on identifying that a trigger condition has been satisfied based on a determination that at least one null data message has been received from the AP, or a predetermined threshold number of polls have timed out.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus is configured to receive a traffic indication map (TIM) from an access point (AP). The apparatus is configured to transmit, in a network sleep state, a predetermined number of power-save (PS) polls to the AP based on the TIM. The apparatus is configured to receive, in the network sleep state, one or more data packets from the AP in response to each of the predetermined number of PS polls.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides techniques for rate adaptation under congestion and latency constraints. The approaches described herein focus on aspects of latency, reliability, and power consumption instead of the traditional aspect of throughput. In an example, a method for rate adaptation is disclosed. The method may include determining whether to transmit a new packet or a retry packet. The method may also include reducing a maximum rate for a rate search in response to determining to transmit the retry packet. The method may further include transmitting the retry packet based on the reduced maximum rate.

Abstract:
This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for performing passive scanning operations on one or more wireless channels. In some implementations, a wireless communication device configures an off-channel scan time and a passive scanning period for passive scanning operations based on latency requirements of a low-latency application, and selects a home channel dwell time for the passive scanning operations. The wireless communication device may perform the passive scanning operation by alternating between listening for beacon frames on one or more second wireless channels for the configured off-channel scan time and dwelling on a home channel for the selected home channel dwell time during a first portion of the configured scanning period. The wireless communication device also may listen for beacon frames on the one or more second wireless channels during a second portion of the configured scanning period that is defined by the selected home channel dwell time.

Abstract:
A method of saving power in a wireless network can include determining a plurality of stations associated with an AP. The AP can create station groups using group selection logic. Notably, the group selection logic is transparent to the plurality of stations. A plurality of TIMs can then be sent, each TIM allowing only one station group access to a channel during a predetermined time interval, such as a beacon interval. In another method, a station can determine its sleep duration based on at least one of first information from the TIM to generate random sleep duration, second information regarding previous operation of the station, and third information regarding a status of the station. The first, second, and third information can include the number of stations associated with the AP and having buffered data based on the TIM, historical collisions, and power status.
