Abstract: Methods and Wi-Fi devices that utilize the target wait time (TWT) feature of the Wi-Fi specification are disclosed. These methods reduce power consumption by selectively listening to only a portion of the beacons that are transmitted by the access point. In one scenario, the Wi-Fi device only listens to one beacon per TWT wake interval. In another embodiment, the Wi-Fi device may have knowledge of the application that is being executed, such as its allowable latency. The Wi-Fi device may use this allowable latency to determine when to exit low power mode to receive a beacon. Further, mechanisms to ensure that the connection between the Wi-Fi device and the access point are also disclosed. Additionally, techniques to maintain synchronization between the Wi-Fi device and the access point are disclosed.

Abstract: A multi-link device (MLD) operates in a 6 GHz band including a plurality of channels including preferred scanning channels (PSC channels) and non-preferred scanning channels (non-PSC channels), wherein the channels occupy 20 MHz of the 6 GHz band. The MLD includes: a first access point (AP), which initiates its Basic Service Set (BSS) on one of the PSC channels, and sends out Beacon, Probe Response or Fast Initial Link Setup (FILS) discovery frames for association by at least a Station (STA) scanning the 6 GHz band; and at least a second AP, which initiates its BSS on one of the non-PSC channels. The first AP includes information of the second AP in a Neighbour report (NR) or Reduced Neighbour Report (RNR) element in the Beacon, Probe Response or FILS discovery frames.

Abstract: Systems and methods for Dynamic Wideband Channel Selection with which a wireless Access Point gets the ability to dynamically decide and switch to better available channels with wider bandwidths for higher efficiency and throughput taking care of the restrictions applied by the regulatory domains in the widespread spectrum.
