Target wake time traffic differentiation and service period extension

A method, comprising:

• receiving, from an application of an electronic device, an indication of traffic associated with the application, wherein the traffic is to be communicated using an access point over a wireless network;
• determining information associated with the traffic, wherein the information comprises at least one of traffic direction information, traffic pattern information, a traffic identifier (TID), or an access category indication (ACID);
• configuring a target wake time (TWT) scheme associated with the traffic based at least in part on the determined information;
• generating an initial TWT element associated with the TWT scheme;
• and
• transmitting the initial TWT element to the access point of the wireless network,
• wherein the initial TWT element comprises at least one of the traffic direction information, the traffic pattern information, the TID, or the ACID.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor of an electronic device, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• determining information associated with traffic of an application of the electronic device, wherein the traffic is to be communicated over a wireless network and wherein the information comprises at least one of traffic direction information, traffic pattern information, a traffic identifier (TID), or an access category indication (ACID);
• configuring a target wake time (TWT) scheme associated with the traffic based at least in part on the determined information;
• generating an initial TWT element associated with the TWT scheme;
• and
• communicating the initial TWT element to an access point of the wireless network,
• wherein the initial TWT element comprises:
• a first field corresponding to the traffic pattern information associated with the traffic,
• a first subfield of a second field corresponding to the traffic direction information associated with the traffic, and
• a second subfield of the second field corresponding to the TID or ACID associated with the traffic.
