Wireless communication involving a wake time period for a station

An apparatus for wireless communication at an access point (AP), comprising:

• means for receiving information from a station (STA) in a low power mode when the STA is associating with the AP, wherein the information indicates a wake time period of the STA, the wake time period comprising a time duration required by the STA to transition from the low power mode to a mode where the STA is able to communicate with the AP;
• means for using the wake time period to schedule communication with the STA;
• and
• wherein the means for using the wake time period to schedule communication with the STA determines an offset based on the wake time period, the offset to be included in a broadcast from the AP to the STA, the apparatus further comprising:
• means for indicating the offset to the STA.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• receive information from a station (STA) in a low power mode when the STA is associating with the AP, wherein the information indicates a wake time period of the STA, the wake time period comprising a time duration required by the STA to transition from the low power mode to a mode where the STA is able to communicate with the AP;
• use the wake time period to schedule communication with the STA;
• determine an offset based on the wake time period, the offset to be included in a broadcast from the AP to the STA;
• and
• indicate the offset to the STA.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code for wireless communication by an access point (AP), comprising code to:

• receive information from a station (STA) in a low power mode when the STA is associating with the AP, wherein the information indicates a wake time period of the STA, the wake time period comprising a time duration required by the STA to transition from the low power mode to a mode where the STA is able to communicate with the AP;
• use the wake time period to schedule communication with the STA;
• determine an offset based on the wake time period, the offset to be included in a broadcast from the AP to the STA;
• and
• indicate the offset to the STA.

A method of wireless communication at a station (STA), comprising:

• transmitting information to an access point (AP) in a low power mode when the STA is associating with the AP, the information indicating a wake time period of the STA, wherein the wake time period comprises a time duration required by the STA to transition from the low power mode to a mode where the STA is able to communicate with the AP;
• receiving communication from the AP, wherein the communication is scheduled based on the wake time period for the STA;
• and
• receiving an offset indication from the AP, the offset indication comprising an offset based on the wake time period, the offset to be included in a broadcast from the AP to the STA.
