    摘要: One or more wireless stations may operate to configure direct communication with neighboring mobile stations, e.g., direct communication between the wireless stations without utilizing an intermediate access point. A mechanism for a wireless station to transmit a paging beacon outside of a paging window may include establishing a paged data link with a peer station, determining that one or more data frames associated with the paged data link are pending transmission, and transmitting a beacon to the peer station outside of a scheduled paging window of the paged data link. The beacon may include a paging attribute indicating there are pending data frames.

    摘要: An interface circuit in an electronic device (such as an access point) may receive a wake-up-radio (WUR)-setup request associated with a recipient electronic device, where the WUR-setup request specifies one or more proposed data criteria or wake-up criteria that indicate when a wake-up frame is to be transmitted to the recipient electronic device. In response, the electronic device may determine one or more data criteria (or wake-up criteria) for use based at least in part on the one or more proposed data criteria. Then, the interface circuit may provide a WUR-setup response intended for the recipient electronic device, where the WUR-setup response indicates acceptance of the one or more proposed data criteria for use as the one or more data criteria or a proposed modification of at least one of the one or more proposed data criteria.

    摘要: In some embodiments, one or more wireless stations operate to configure direct communication with neighboring mobile stations, e.g., direct communication between the wireless stations without utilizing an intermediate access point. Embodiments of the disclosure relate to a mechanism for peer NAN devices to assist one another in receiving communications from an access point common to the peer NAN devices. In some embodiments, a wireless station may establish a communication link with a Wi-Fi access point and establish a peer-to-peer communication link with one or more neighboring wireless stations. In addition, the wireless station may receive transmissions intended for at least one neighboring wireless station of the one or more neighboring wireless stations from the Wi-Fi access point and relay the transmissions to the at least one wireless station on behalf of the Wi-Fi access point.
