Abstract: Two methods for energy-efficient idle listening enhancement for WLAN systems are provided. The first method performs a change of operation of a station (STA) from an active mode to an idle listening mode without notifying the change to an access point (AP) associated with the STA. In the idle listening mode, the AP may transmit frames to the STA using a higher bandwidth, but the STA can only sense channels in a lower bandwidth to save energy. The second method transmits a frame to the AP associated with the STA to notify the AP the change of operation of the STA from the active mode to the idle listening mode. In the idle listening mode, the AP may transmit frames to the STA using the lower bandwidth, and the STA can only sense channels in the lower bandwidth to save energy.

Abstract: An example system and method, during operation of first communication circuitry in a first operating mode comprising first power consumption, uses the first communication circuitry to perform packet arbitration for wireless communications by the first communication circuitry, second communication circuitry, and third communication circuitry. During operation of the first communication circuitry in a second operating mode comprising second power consumption, the example system and method uses the second communication circuitry to perform packet arbitration for wireless communications by the second communication circuitry and a third communication circuitry.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices enable coexistence of traffic for collocated transceivers. Methods may include generating, using a processing device, a target-wake-time (TWT) agreement, the TWT agreement being determined based on availability of a first transceiver and a plurality of wireless devices. The methods may also include generating, using the processing device, a medium access schedule for the first transceiver based on a transmission parameter of a second transceiver, the second transceiver being collocated with the first transceiver and sharing a transmission medium with the first transceiver, and the medium access schedule being a TWT schedule. The methods may further include transmitting the TWT schedule to the plurality of wireless devices, the TWT schedule identifying a plurality of wake times and a plurality of sleep times to the plurality of wireless devices.
