  • LOW POWER ENHANCEMENT WITH SERVICE PROXY AND LOW POWER WAKE UP RADIO
    Publication number: 20180092034
    Abstract: One exemplary embodiment combines the concept of a LP-WUR (Low Power Wake Up Radio) and an improved service proxy to facilitate the low power service discovery operation. Specifically, a station (or in general any number of stations) can register to the proxy device for advertisement, with the station(s) then going into to the low power radio mode that uses the LP-WUR. The service proxy can advertise on behalf of the station(s) optionally without advertising a further schedule. If the service proxy receives a request from a neighboring device (e.g., another station) for the service of the registered station(s), the service proxy can then wake up one or more of the registered station(s) by transmitting a wakeup packet to the registered station so that the registered station can then advertise its service and schedule to connect with the neighboring device (e.g., the another station).

  • Methods and arrangements to coordinate communications of different types of devices on a wireless network
    Patent number: 9930661
    Abstract: Logic may coordinate communications of different types of wireless communications devices such as high power and low power wireless communications devices. Logic may coordinate communications by assigning time slots to a low power station (LP-STA) in a management frame such as a beacon transmitted by an access point (AP) associated with the LP-STA. Logic of the high power stations (HP-STAB) may receive the beacon and shepard logic of the HP-STA may defer transmissions by the HP-STA throughout the duration(s) indicated in the beacon from the AP. Logic of the LP-STA may comprise carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance logic to determine when to transmit a communication. Shepard logic of an HP-STA may detect the communication from the LP-STA and defer transmission of communication during a time duration for the communication by the LP-STA.

  • SERVICE DISCOVERY VIA LOW-POWER WAKE-UP RADIO
    Publication number: 20180084499
    Abstract: Embodiments of service discovery via LP-WUR (low-power wake-up radio) are generally described herein, A wireless device receives, at a LP-WUR of the wireless device, a wake-up packet from a peer device. The wireless device decodes the wake-up packet to determine a service ID (identifier) and protocol support information. The wireless device determines that the wireless device is operable to provide a service identified by the service ID and implement a protocol identified by the protocol support information, the protocol comprising NAN (neighbor aware networking) or Wi-Fi direct. The wireless device wakes up a WLAN (wireless local area network) radio of the wireless device in response to determining that the wireless device is capable of providing the service and implementing the protocol.
