Abstract: Examples are disclosed for techniques for allowing a wireless device to wake up a low power device while remaining compatible with other devices and wireless protocols. A first station determines that a low power device needs to wake up all or a portion of its circuitry in order to send and/or receive data from the first station. The first station sends a legacy preamble according to a standard wireless communication method such as according to IEEE 802.11 or Bluetooth addressed to the low power device. Legacy stations will recognize that a device is accessing the medium and will abstain from transmitting data during the transaction(s) between the first station and the low power device. The first station then sends a wake up payload according to a low power wireless communication method such as ASK or FSK to the low power device. The low power device recognizes the wake up payload and wakes up its main radio such as an IEEE 802.11 or Bluetooth radio.

Abstract: In order to reduce the power consumption after a transmitting electronic device in a wireless network has been detected, a receiving electronic device calculates transmit times of subsequent beacons from the transmitting electronic device based on a clock drift of the transmitting electronic device and the beacon period. Then, the receiving electronic device receives the subsequent beacon by opening scan windows that encompass the calculated transmit times. However, because the transmit times are more predictable after the transmitting electronic device has been detected (and the clock drift of the transmitting electronic device is known to the receiving electronic device), the receiving electronic device can reduce the width of the scan windows. In addition, the transmitting electronic device can further reduce the power consumption by increasing the beacon period.

Abstract: Embodiments herein achieve proxy FHRP for anycast routing services through the coordination of L2MP edge switches to allow load balancing for the use of routing services.

As such, multipathing and load-balancing for efficient use of crucial services may be provided for client nodes inside the network.

According to the disclosure, a mobile device may detect that it is process data for the PS service. For example, a SIP component that supports the PS service may become inoperable. In response, the mobile device attempts to support the communication service using the CS service.
