Abstract: A wireless device includes a processor configured to generate transmission data or process reception data, a main transceiver configured to transmit the transmission data or receive the reception data, and a WUR module configured to wake up at a wakeup time notified by an AP, receive a wakeup signal from the AP, and wake up the main transceiver based on a wakeup ID of the wireless device being included in the wakeup signal.

Abstract: A method performed by a wireless device for wirelessly transmitting a wake-up signal and data frame to one or more other wireless devices. The method includes wirelessly transmitting a wake-up signal to the one or more other wireless devices, wirelessly receiving a response frame that is responsive to the wake-up signal from one of the one or more other wireless devices before an estimated full transition delay has elapsed after the wake-up signal was transmitted, wherein the estimated full transition delay includes an estimated delay to activate a radio frequency or baseband component and an estimated delay to load a program for execution, and wirelessly transmitting, after the estimated full transition delay has elapsed, a data frame that includes data intended for the one or more other wireless device in response to a determination that the response frame has been received.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method performed by a wireless device. The method includes wirelessly transmitting a legacy physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) before wirelessly transmitting a wake-up receiver PPDU to protect the wake-up receiver PPDU. The legacy PPDU includes a preamble and a legacy frame. The legacy frame includes a power management field that indicates that the wireless device is transitioning to a doze state to cause other wireless devices to refrain from transmitting to the wireless device.

Abstract: A method by a wireless transmitting device is disclosed for indicating a partial traffic identifier (PTID) or an access category index (ACI) in a header compression element. The method includes generating a frame that includes the header compression element, wherein the header compression element includes a first subfield that is for indicating a PTID of a quality of service (QoS) data frame or an ACI of a QoS management frame and a second subfield indicating whether the first subfield indicates the PTID of the QoS data frame or the ACI of the QoS management frame. The method further includes transmitting the frame through a wireless medium.

Abstract: A method performed by a wireless device operating in a wireless network. The method includes receiving a wake-up receiver frame, wherein the wake-up receiver frame includes a continuous frame field that indicates whether a further wake-up receiver frame comes after the wake-up receiver frame and determining whether the further wake-up receiver frame exists based on a content of the continuous frame field.

Abstract: A method by a wireless transmitting device for distinguishing between a quality of service (QoS) management frame and a non-QoS management frame is described. The method includes generating a frame that includes a frame header, wherein the frame header includes a frame control field, wherein the frame control field includes a partial traffic identifier or subtype (PTID/subtype) subfield, wherein the PTID/subtype subfield indicates whether the frame is a quality of service (QoS) management frame or a non-QoS management frame and transmitting the frame through a wireless medium.

Abstract: A method performed by a first wireless station is described. The method includes determining, by a Media Access Control (MAC) layer of the first wireless station, a plurality of MAC Protocol Data Units (MPDUs) to transmit to a second wireless station in an aggregated MPDU, wherein a physical layer of the first station is to use a plurality of codewords to represent the plurality of MPDUs, wherein a first MPDU in the plurality of MPDUs is to be represented by a first set of codewords and a second MPDU is to be represented by a second set of codewords from the plurality of codewords; appending padding to the first MPDU such that the first set of codewords does not share a codeword with the second set of codewords; and transmitting the first set of codewords and the second set of codewords to the second wireless station.
