Power-efficient communication of group-addressed frames

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for use in conjunction with an access point, the computer-readable storage medium storing program instructions that, when executed by the access point, cause the access point to provide a wake-up frame by carrying out one or more operations comprising:

• receiving a wake-up radio (WUR)-setup request associated with a client or a station, wherein the client or the station is associated with or has established a connection with the access point, and wherein the WUR-setup request specifies a group address for which the client or the station wants to receive associated frames and a proposed transmission interval;
• and
• providing the wake-up frame addressed to the client or the station, wherein the wake-up frame comprises an identifier of an aggregated group, the identifier comprising the group address for which a group-addressed frame will subsequently be transmitted by the access point, and
• wherein the wake-up frame is provided at a transmission time corresponding to the proposed transmission interval.

A method for providing a wake-up frame, comprising:

• by an access point:
• receiving a wake-up radio (WUR)-setup request associated with a client or a station, wherein the client or the station is associated with or has established a connection with the access point, and wherein the WUR-setup request specifies a group address for which the client or the station wants to receive associated frames and a proposed transmission interval;
• and
• providing the wake-up frame addressed to the client or the station, wherein the wake-up frame comprises an identifier of an aggregated group, the identifier comprising the group address for which a group-addressed frame will subsequently be transmitted by the access point, and
• wherein the wake-up frame is provided at a transmission time corresponding to the proposed transmission interval.
