Abstract: Certain embodiments herein relate to optimizing power consumption associated with processing group addressed messages. For example, a station may receive a group addressed message (e.g., a broadcast or multicast message) from the access point. An expected time at which such group addressed messages may be received may be determined such that the group addressed messages may be processed without processing beacon frames, thereby consuming less battery power, and as a result, optimizing power consumption at wireless stations.

Abstract: While scanning through various channels to find network controllers that are both within range and available, the scanning device may cover multiple channels simultaneously by using a bandwidth that encompasses multiple channels. This may be particularly useful with WiFi devices that are using the 2.4 GHz band, in which the channel spacing may be about 5 MHz, while the channel bandwidth may be about 22 MHz.

Abstract: A method of scanning for APs includes measuring a variable related to movement of a mobile device, the mobile device executing code to perform the measuring. The method further includes analyzing whether the variable is significant enough to trigger a first scan request, the mobile device executing code to perform the analyzing. The method further includes scanning for APs in response to the first scan request, the mobile device executing code to perform the scanning.

Abstract: An apparatus, includes a wireless communication module (WCM) to communicatively couple to a wireless access point; and an automatic power-save delivery (APSD) state logic module to establish a dynamic configuration mechanism to change a U-APSD state affecting voice signaling traffic at a beginning of a voice stream and again at an end of the voice stream.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide devices, systems and methods of selecting one or more power save parameters of a wireless device according to an expected traffic pattern. For example, a method according to embodiments of the invention includes selecting either an automatic power save delivery mechanism or a legacy power save delivery mechanism for transmitting a frame based on an access category of the frame to be transmitted. A method according to embodiments of the invention may include switching the delivery mechanism from an automatic power save delivery mechanism to a legacy power save delivery mechanism for access categories that are both trigger- and delivery-enabled if the access category indicates that burst-type traffic is expected. Other features are described and claimed.

Abstract: A mechanism to configure power save parameters of a wireless client station. When data frames carrying voice, video, or other multimedia traffic are received at the client station via a wireless link, a frame rate of the received data frames is measured for a period of time. Then a power save parameter of the client station is configured based on the measuring to adjust delivery of the data frames to the client station during a power save state of the client station.

Abstract: A method, device and system to set a power saving mode of for example a station to correspond to a power saving parameter that may be associated with a access category of a wireless packet in for example a uplink and a downlink of such station.

Abstract: Embodiments of a wireless device and methods for reducing period scans using motion diction are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. In some embodiments, a wireless device determines whether or not to refrain from performing periodic scanning based on one or more motion indicators determined from measured signal levels received from a currently associated access point. In some embodiments, a wireless device determines whether or not to refrain from performing periodic scanning based on a rate-of-change of received signal strength indicators (RSSIs) of beacon frames received from a currently associated access point.
