  • Patent number: 11184850
    Abstract: A recipient electronic device that provides an acknowledgment is described. This recipient electronic device may include a main radio and a wake-up radio (WUR) that at least selectively transitions the main radio from a lower-power mode to a higher-power mode in response to a wake-up frame. During operation, the WUR receives a wake-up frame associated with an electronic device, e.g., a second or a sending device. Then, the WUR provides, in response to the wake-up frame, the acknowledgement intended for the electronic device. The wake-up frame may specify that an acknowledgement from the recipient electronic device to the electronic device is expected. For example, the wake-up frame may specify that the acknowledgement is communicated by the recipient electronic device using the WUR in the recipient electronic device. Moreover, the WUR may provide the acknowledgment while the main radio is in the lower-power mode.

  • Publication number: 20210337595
    Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for implementing request to send (RTS) and clear to transmit (CTS) frames and transmission rules for the RTS and CTS frame. For example, some aspects relate to an electronic device including a transceiver and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The one or more processors receive, using the transceiver, a request to send (RTS) frame from the second electronic device and determine, using the received RTS frame, a format for a clear to send (CTS) frame to use in response to the RTS frame. The one or more processors further transmit, using the transceiver, the CTS frame based on the determined format on at least one sub-channel on which the RTS frame was received and that the at least one sub-channel is idle.

  • Patent number: 11160017
    Abstract: A dual-radio AP including both a high-power (e.g., Wi-Fi) radio and a low-power (e.g., BLE) radio may support an assisted wakeup service for a power-limited dual-radio mobile device (STA). The power-limited STA may register with the AP for the assisted wakeup service, and may then disable its Wi-Fi radio (or otherwise initiate a lower-power mode). The power-limited STA may receive a BLE communication indicating the AP has pending Wi-Fi transmissions or updates applicable to the power-limited STA. In response, the power-limited STA may turn on its Wi-Fi radio and receive the pending transmissions or updates from the AP. If an AP does not include a low-power radio, then a high-power/low-power dual-radio STA that is not power-limited may serve as an assisted wakeup service proxy. The proxy may scan and trace the Wi-Fi beacons from the AP, and generate the BLE communication to the power-limited STA on behalf of the AP.

  • Patent number: 11160018
    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.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses a low power dissipation Bluetooth mesh network system and a communication method thereof. The Bluetooth mesh network system includes a friend node and a lower power node. The friend node operates as a proxy server terminal to perform a proxy server broadcast. The lower power node operates as a proxy client and establishes a connection with the friend node based on a proxy protocol when the proxy server broadcast is received and identified. The friend node further filters out an invalid packet unrelated to the low power node and stores a valid packet related to the low power node so as to transmit the valid packet to the low power node when the low power node switches from a sleep status to a wakeup status.
