Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for scheduling delivery of buffered multicast data to wireless stations (STAs) associated with an access point (AP). In some implementations, a STA transmits, to the AP, a request frame including a multicast address of a multicast group. The AP transmits, to the STA, a Group Identification (ID) assigned to the multicast group. The AP transmits a beacon frame including a wake-up schedule indicating times at which one or more STAs belonging to the multicast group are scheduled to receive buffered multicast data from the AP. STAs that belong to the multicast group wake up at one of the indicated times for a Target Wake Time (TWT) Service Period (SP). STAs that do not belong to the multicast group remain in power save mode during the TWT SP. The AP transmits the buffered multicast data at the indicated time during the TWT SP.

Abstract: A storage device is disclosed. The storage device includes a storage controller. The storage controller includes a direct memory access (DMA) Descriptor Manager (DM) to generate DMA descriptors by monitoring user data and a data integrity field (DIF) transferred between a host memory and a local memory based upon a function being performed.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a storage device is disclosed. The storage device includes a port having one or more lanes and a direct memory access (DMA) Descriptor Manager (DM). The DM generates and tracks completion of descriptors. The DM includes a first completion lookup table to track one or more fields of an input/output (I/O) context received at a first lane.

Abstract: Disclosed is an initiator port that implements a transport layer retry (TLR) mechanism. The initiator port includes a circuit having a transmit transport layer and receive transport layer in which both the transmit and receive transport layers are coupled to a link. A transmit protocol processor of the transmit transport layer controls a TLR mechanism in a serialized protocol. A receive protocol processor of the receive transport layer is coupled to the transmit transport layer and likewise controls the TLR mechanism in the serialized protocol.
