Patent number: 11343774Abstract: This document describes techniques and devices to reduce energy consumption and network traffic related to polling for buffered data packets (e.g., messages) between devices in a wireless mesh network. Based on the requirements of an end device that sleeps to conserve power, a parent device receives and buffers data packets addressed to the end device until the end device is awake. The end device periodically wakes-up to transmit application data, such as a sensor reading or a status message, to the parent device. By including an indication of pending data at the parent device in an acknowledgement the transmission of by end device, additional data request messages and acknowledgements can be reduced or eliminated to improve the battery life of the end device and reduce network traffic on the mesh network.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2018Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Jonathan Wing-Yan Hui, Martin A.

Patent number: 11343766Abstract: Example methods for indicating downlink service data and devices are described. One example method includes controlling, by a first station (STA) associated with a radio access point (AP), a wake-up receiver of the first STA to wake up within a preset first listen interval. The first STA receives a wake-up beacon frame sent by the AP, and controls main radio (MR) of the first STA not to wake up within a second listen interval to receive a beacon frame sent by the AP. According to the method provided in this application, the MR of the first STA does not need to wake up within the second listen interval to receive the beacon frame broadcast by the AP.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2019Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ming Gan, Jia Jia, Xun Yang

Patent number: 11343769Abstract: Methods and systems for wirelessly transmitting data between Wi-Fi stations without requiring the Wi-Fi stations to be fully connected to the Wi-Fi network. A first Wi-Fi station generates the data to be transmitted. The data comprises status data and/or wake-up data. The first Wi-Fi station then inserts the data in a vendor-specific information element of a probe request frame and wirelessly transmits the probe request frame. The probe request frame is then received by a second Wi-Fi station. If the probe request frame contains wake-up data and the second Wi-Fi station is operating in a low-power mode when it receives the probe request frame, the second Wi-Fi station will wake-up from the low-power mode. If the probe request frame contains status data then the second Wi-Fi station may process the probe request frame and/or forward at least a portion of the received probe request frame to another device.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2020Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: Imagination Technologies LimitedInventor: Ian R.
