Abstract:
Embodiments of a master station and method for communicating with a plurality of high-efficiency Wi-Fi (HEW) devices in a wireless network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the master station may contend for a wireless medium during a contention period to receive control of the medium for an HEW control period, and transmit an HEW control and schedule transmission at the beginning of the HEW control period. The HEW control and schedule transmission may include a schedule indicating channel resources for communications with the HEW devices during the HEW control period in accordance with a non-contention based multiple access technique. The channel resources indicated in the HEW control and schedule transmission may comprise subspaces within a wideband legacy channel bandwidth. Transmissions on HEW channels during the HEW control period may have symbol times aligned within each legacy channel for legacy-device coexistence.

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to service set compression. A device may determine a wake-up frame comprising one or more fields, wherein the one or more fields indicate an action to be taken on a receiving device. The device may determine an identifier to be indicated in the wake-up frame. The device may determine a size of the identifier. The device may cause to compress the identifier forming a compressed output, wherein the identifier is compressed by applying a cyclic redundancy code (CRC) computation.

The device may cause to send the wake-up frame to a receiving device, wherein the wake-up frame comprises the portion of the compressed output based on the size of the identifier.
Abstract:
Methods, devices, and systems for retransmission of wake-up signals from a first station to a second station over a wireless network are disclosed. In some aspects, a wake-up signal is encoded for transmission to the second station. While the first station is waiting for an acknowledgment of the wake-up signal from the second station, the second station may retransmit the wake up signal and/or encode a packet for transmission to a third station. In some aspects, whether the wake-up signal is retransmitted is based in part, on at least one of whether a number of timeout events for wake-up signals transmitted to the second station exceeds a maximum timeouts threshold, whether a number of wake-up signals transmitted to the second station exceeds a maximum wake-up signals threshold; or whether a maximum predetermined elapsed time since a first wake-up signal was transmitted to the second station is exceeded.
