Abstract
A method for wake-up radio group ID (GID) allocation includes generating, by an access point and prior to a station associating to the access point, a first Group-ID and a second Group-ID, wherein the station comprises a Wake-Up Radio, receiving, by the access point, a request from the station to associate, determining, by the access point, whether the station belongs in the first Group-ID or the second Group-ID, assigning, by the access point and based on the determining, the station to the first Group-ID, and sending, by the access point, a Wake-Up Packet to the Wake-Up Radio of the station using the first Group-ID.
Claims17
A method, comprising:
- generating, by an access point and prior to a station associating to the access point, a first Group-ID and a second Group-ID, wherein the station comprises a Wake-Up Radio;
- receiving, by the access point, a request from the station to associate;
- determining, by the access point, whether the station belongs in the first Group-ID or the second Group-ID;
- assigning, by the access point and based on the determining, the station to the first Group-ID;
- and
- sending, by the access point, a Wake-Up Packet to the Wake-Up Radio of the station using the first Group-ID;
- generating, by the access point, a third Group-ID and a fourth Group-ID, wherein the third Group-ID is for stations that support a Low Data Rate, and wherein the fourth Group-ID is for stations that support a High Data Rate;
- determining, by the access point, that the station supports the Low Data Rate and the High Data Rate;
- and
- assigning, by the access point, the station to the third Group-ID and the fourth Group-ID.
An access point, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- generate, prior to a station associating to the access point, a first Group-ID and a second Group-ID, wherein the station comprises a Wake-Up Radio;
- receive a request from the station to associate;
- determine whether the station belongs in the first Group-ID or the second Group-ID;
- assign, based on the determining, the station to the first Group-ID;
- and
- send a Wake-Up Packet to the Wake-Up Radio of the station using the first Group-ID;
- generate a third Group-ID and a fourth Group-ID, wherein the third Group-ID is for stations that support a Low Data Rate, and wherein the fourth Group-ID is for stations that support a High Data Rate;
- determine that the station supports the Low Data Rate and the High Data Rate;
- and
- assign the station to the third Group-ID and the fourth Group-ID.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:
- generate, prior to a station associating to the access point, a first Group-ID and a second Group-ID, wherein the station comprises a Wake-Up Radio;
- receive a request from the station to associate;
- determine whether the station belongs in the first Group-ID or the second Group-ID;
- assign, based on the determining, the station to the first Group-ID;
- and
- send a Wake-Up Packet to the Wake-Up Radio of the station using the first Group-ID;
- generate a third Group-ID and a fourth Group-ID, wherein the third Group-ID is for stations that support a Low Data Rate, and wherein the fourth Group-ID is for stations that support a High Data Rate;
- determine that the station supports the Low Data Rate and the High Data Rate;
- and
- assign the station to the third Group-ID and the fourth Group-ID.
