  • Patent number: 12066882
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing power consumption of device subsystems include a device which maintains one or more constraint metric tables for applications executable on the device. Each of the one or more constraint metric tables may specify respective power levels for subsystems of the device according to a respective application or an application type of the respective application. The device may determine to operate the device at a reduced power level for a first application, based on a condition for the device satisfying at least one of a thermal threshold criteria or a power threshold criteria when the device operates at full power level. The device may apply a constraint metric responsive to determining to operate at the reduced power level, to cause a subset of the plurality of subsystems to adjust a power consumption level according to a first constraint metric table corresponding to the first application.

  • Publication number: 20240267949
    Abstract: A first device may one or more processors. The one or more processors may be configured to monitor wireless receive (Rx) traffic to a second device. The one or more processors may be configured to generate, based on the wireless Rx traffic, control information to control wireless transmit (Tx) traffic from the first device to avoid collision between the wireless Rx traffic and the wireless Tx traffic, the control information including at least one of a maximum Tx frame duration or a minimum Tx inter-frame gap. The one or more processors may be configured to wirelessly transmit, via a transceiver based on the control information, the wireless Tx traffic in a wireless local area network (WLAN).

  • Patent number: 12058614
    Abstract: An electronic device (such as an access point) may provide a management frame, intended for at least a recipient electronic device, that includes slotted-operation information corresponding to a power-save mode of the electronic device for communication with at least the recipient electronic device. The slotted-operation information may include a sequence of temporal slots and associated channel information for the temporal slots. When a channel for a temporal slot comprises a null value, the power-save mode may include transitioning the electronic device into a lower-power-consumption mode during the temporal slot. Alternatively, when a channel for a temporal slot is different than a null value, the power-save mode may include performing another activity than communicating with the recipient electronic device during the temporal slot.

  • Publication number: 20240235739
    Abstract: The subject technology provides for block acknowledgment requests and block acknowledgment frames that can be used in conjunction with multicast transmissions that include multiple concurrent streams. Thus, the subject technology reduces the overhead associated with multicast transmissions that include multiple concurrent streams by aggregating the acknowledgments across multiple streams into a block acknowledgment, thereby increasing the effective throughput of such transmissions and overall network efficiency.

  • Patent number: 11997673
    Abstract: Methods for performing negative acknowledgements (NACKs) in a Wi-Fi based network may include a wireless device receiving, from a neighboring wireless device, a transmission schedule associated with receipt of data packets from the neighboring wireless device. The transmission schedule may include a timeout period associated with transmission of the data packets and/or a start time of the transmission schedule. The method may also include the wireless device determining an error condition associated with the data packets. The error condition may be, for example, non-receipt of any packet (e.g., data packets and/or non-data packets) prior to expiration of the timeout period and/or detection of a gap in sequence numbers associated with the data packets. The method may further include the wireless device, based on the error condition, transmitting a NACK. The NACK may be (or include) a negative block ACK (N-BA) bitmap indicating which data packets were not successfully received.

  • Patent number: 11924898
    Abstract: Some embodiments include utilizing a multilink media access control (MAC) address structure to support multilink devices (MLDs) that can operate concurrently in more than one link such as extremely high throughput (EHT) access points (APs) and EHT stations (STA), where the multilink MAC address structure is compatible with legacy devices. An EHT AP can utilize a multilink basic service set (BSS) identification (BSSID) MAC address to communicate with an EHT STA identified by a multilink MAC address. Values of the multilink BSSID and the multilink MAC address of the EHT STA are independent of which of the multiple links are used in the communication. In addition, to utilizing a multilink BSSID, the EHT AP can also support unique link-specific MAC addresses to concurrently support legacy and MLD stations. The EHT STA can also utilize unique link-specific MAC addresses that can be different than the EHT AP's link-specific MAC addresses.

  • Patent number: 11895589
    Abstract: An interface circuit in an electronic device (such as an access point) may receive a setup request associated with the recipient electronic device. The setup request may specify a group address for which the recipient electronic device wants to receive associated frames and a proposed transmission interval. Based at least in part on the proposed transmission interval, the electronic device may determine a transmission schedule and/or may assign, based at least in part on the group address, the recipient electronic device to an aggregated group having a flexible multicast service identifier (FMSID). Then, the electronic device may provide a wake-up frame for the recipient electronic device, where the wake-up frame includes an identifier of the aggregated group for which a group-addressed frame will subsequently be transmitted by the electronic device. Moreover, the wake-up frame may be provided at a transmission time based at least in part on the transmission schedule.
