Abstract
A method for processing a wake-up trigger frame includes receiving, at a wake-up radio of a device and from an access point, a wake-up trigger frame, where the wake-up trigger frame includes a group receiver identity; and in response to determining that the device is associated with the group receiver identity, sending a signal to a primary radio of the device to turn on the primary radio.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a wake-up radio of a device and from an access point, a wake-up trigger frame, wherein the wake-up trigger frame includes a receiver identity;
- determining whether the receiver identity in the wake-up trigger frame is a unicast receiver identity or a group receiver identity based on an identifier in the receiver identity in the wake-up trigger frame;
- in response to determining that the identifier in the receiver identity in the wake-up trigger frame corresponds to groupcast, determining that the receiver identity in the wake-up trigger frame is the group receiver identity;
- in response to determining that the receiver identity in the wake-up trigger frame is the group receiver identity, comparing the group receiver identity with a whitelist or a blacklist, wherein the whitelist comprises a plurality of groupcast addresses that the device intends to wake up for, and the blacklist comprises a plurality of groupcast addresses that the device does not want to wake up for;
- and
- in response to determining that the group receiver identity matches to one of the plurality of groupcast addresses in the whitelist, sending a signal to a primary radio of the device to turn on the primary radio.

A device, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one hardware processor communicatively coupled with the memory and configured to:
- receive, at a wake-up radio of the device and from an access point, a wake-up trigger frame, wherein the wake-up trigger frame includes a receiver identity;
- determine whether the receiver identity in the wake-up trigger frame is a unicast receiver identity or a group receiver identity based on an identifier in the receiver identity in the wake-up trigger frame;
- in response to determining that the identifier in the receiver identity in the wake-up trigger frame corresponds to groupcast, determine that the receiver identity in the wake-up trigger frame is the group receiver identity;
- in response to determining that the receiver identity in the wake-up trigger frame is the group receiver identity, compare the group receiver identity with a whitelist or a blacklist, wherein the whitelist comprises a plurality of groupcast addresses that the device intends to wake up for, and the blacklist comprises a plurality of groupcast addresses that the device does not want to wake up for;
- and
- in response to determining that the group receiver identity matches to one of the plurality of groupcast addresses in the whitelist, send a signal to a primary radio of the device to turn on the primary radio.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions which, when executed, cause a device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, at a wake-up radio of the device and from an access point, a wake-up trigger frame, wherein the wake-up trigger frame includes a receiver identity;
- determining whether the receiver identity in the wake-up trigger frame is a unicast receiver identity or a group receiver identity based on an identifier in the receiver identity in the wake-up trigger frame;
- in response to determining that the identifier in the receiver identity in the wake-up trigger frame corresponds to groupcast, determining that the receiver identity in the wake-up trigger frame is the group receiver identity;
- in response to determining that the receiver identity in the wake-up trigger frame is the group receiver identity, comparing the group receiver identity with a whitelist or a blacklist, wherein the whitelist comprises a plurality of groupcast addresses that the device intends to wake up for, and the blacklist comprises a plurality of groupcast addresses that the device does not want to wake up for;
- and
- in response to determining that the group receiver identity matches to one of the plurality of groupcast addresses in the whitelist, sending a signal to a primary radio of the device to turn on the primary radio.
