    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for using low energy (LE) signaling to indicate to a wireless station (STA), prior to transmission of a beacon, whether the beacon will further indicate that an access point (AP) has data to transmit to the STA. In one aspect, a method may include receiving, using a first radio of a wireless STA using a LE communication protocol, a first signal comprising an indication of a traffic indication map (TIM) of a wireless local area network (WLAN) beacon, and selectively powering up a second radio of the wireless STA to receive the WLAN beacon in response to the indication. In one aspect, the wireless STA may power up the first radio at a predetermined interval prior to a target beacon transmission time (TBTT) of the WLAN beacon.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for peer-to-peer (P2P) group owner (GO) multi-channel concurrent (MCC) operation and an associated absence period indication for legacy client devices. In some aspects, an absence period during which a peer-to-peer (P2P) group owner (GO) is unavailable to receive transmissions from client devices wirelessly coupled with the P2P GO may be identified. A notice of absence (NoA) may be transmitted by the P2P GO, the P2P NoA indicating the absence period if the client devices wirelessly coupled with the P2P GO include a P2P client device that supports a P2P protocol. A legacy wireless beacon may be transmitted by the P2P GO, the legacy wireless beacon comprising an information element (IE) indicating the absence period if the client devices wirelessly coupled with the P2P GO include a legacy client device that does not support the P2P protocol.

    Abstract translation: 描述了用于对等(P2P)组所有者(GO)多渠道并发(MCC)操作的方法,系统和设备以及用于传统客户端设备的相关联的缺勤周期指示。 在一些方面,可以识别对等(P2P)组所有者(GO)不能从与P2P GO无线耦合的客户端设备接收传输的不存在时段。 如果与P2P GO无线耦合的客户端设备包括支持P2P协议的P2P客户端设备,则可以由P2P GO发送缺席通知(NoA),P2P NoA指示不存在时段。 传统无线信标可以由P2P GO发送,如果客户端设备与P2P GO无线耦合,则包括指示不在时段的信息元素(IE)的传统无线信标包括不支持P2P协议的传统客户端设备。

    Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for reducing power consumption of wireless devices operating in a wireless network. In one embodiment, a first wireless device may establish a BLUETOOTH low energy (BLE) connection and a Wi-Fi connection with a second wireless device. The first wireless device may detect Wi-Fi activity and may operate in a low-power mode when no Wi-Fi activity is detected. The first wireless device may receive a synchronized BLE message and may enter a normal operating mode and leave the low-power mode based, at least in part, on the synchronized BLE message. In another embodiment, the first wireless device may operate a scheduler to schedule communications between the second wireless device and a third wireless device. The first wireless device may suspend operation of the scheduler based, at least in part, on a received synchronized BLE message from the second wireless device.

In one embodiment, a first wireless device may operate in low-power mode and receive a BLUETOOTH low energy (BLE) message from a second wireless device. The first wireless device may leave the low-power mode and enter a normal operating mode based, at least in part, on the BLE message. In some embodiments, the BLE message may include informational elements that the first wireless device may use to determine whether to remain in or leave the low-power mode. In some other embodiments, the BLE message may be synchronized to a Wi-Fi message, such as a Wi-Fi beacon. In at least one embodiment, the first wireless device may stop scanning for wireless networks when in the low-power mode.
