Abstract: In cellular or other wireless networks, relay communication devices can be introduced to support an indirect network connection for remote communication devices in out-of-coverage (OoC) areas to thereby extend access device coverage and increase available data capacity for communication devices that may not be in optimal coverage of an access device. For directly connected communication devices, mechanisms for bit rate recommendation, bit rate query and desired bit rate indication are defined. However, these existing mechanisms do not work for communication devices indirectly connected via a relay communication device. It is therefore proposed to determine a new data rate recommendation and/or limit for one or more downstream communication devices at least partly based on an identity of a logical channel indicated in a received recommendation and/or limit.

Abstract: An example method for managing wake schedules of client devices is presented. A wireless networking device determines a value of a data traffic characteristic of a client device based on monitoring of data traffic associated with the client device. If it is determined that the client device is capable of implementing the TWT mechanism, the wireless networking device may set a wake schedule for the client device based on the value of the data traffic characteristic. Once the wake schedule is set, the wireless networking device communicates with the client device as per the wake schedule. In some examples, the wireless networking device may set custom wake schedules for different client devices when the client devices have different behaviors for the same data traffic characteristic. Further, in certain examples, the wireless networking device may even set custom wake schedules for different activity periods for the same client device.
