Abstract: In one aspect, a transmitting device forms an OFDM signal comprising a plurality of OFDM symbols and carrying user data targeted to a main transceiver of one or more receiving devices. The transmitting device modulates the OFDM signal with a wake-up signature (WUS) targeted to awake-up receiver (WUR) of a receiving device other than the one or more receiving devices. The modulating is performed so as to superimpose a modulation of signal power on the OFDM signal, the resulting variations in signal power conveying the wake-up signature. The modulated OFDM signal is transmitted, where a receiving device receives the OFDM at its WUR. The receiving device detect a WUS modulated in the OFDM signal that is targeted to a wake-up receiver of a receiving device other than the one or more receiving devices. The receiving device wakes up its main transceiver in response to the detecting.
