Apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable medium for communication in a wireless local area network

A method of wireless communication by an apparatus comprising at least a primary radio and a secondary radio, the method comprising:

• utilizing the secondary radio to receive a packet while the primary radio is in a low power state, wherein the packet is configured to or includes information to inform a receiving apparatus that a transmitting apparatus has prepared for transmission at least one unit of information that the transmitting apparatus is interested in communicating to one or more apparatus;
• operating according to one or more of (1) a first configuration in which the primary radio operates in a continuous high power state while the secondary radio operates in a low power state, (2) a second configuration in which the primary radio alternates between a period of operating in a high power state and a period of operating in a low power state according to a duty cycle or periodicity while the secondary radio operates in a low power state, and (3) a third configuration in which the primary radio operates in a low power state and the secondary radio operates in a continuous high power state;
• and
• using the secondary radio to receive a signal from an access point and determine whether to perform an operation to update settings or parameters associated with a basic service set (BSS), wherein the settings or parameters associated with the BSS affect communications using the primary radio.

An apparatus for wireless communication, the apparatus comprising:

• one or more transceivers;
• and
• one or more processors configured to:
• utilize the one or more transceivers to transmit a packet to at least one receiving apparatus, wherein the packet is configured to or includes information to inform the at least one receiving apparatus that the apparatus has prepared for transmission at least one unit of information that the apparatus is interested in communicating to one or more apparatus,
• wherein the at least one receiving apparatus is configured to operate according to one or more of (1) a first configuration in which its primary radio operates in a continuous high power state while its secondary radio operates in a low power state, (2) a second configuration in which its primary radio alternates between a period of operating in a high power state and a period of operating in a low power state according to a duty cycle or periodicity while its secondary radio operates in a low power state, and (3) a third configuration in which its primary radio operates in a low power state and its secondary radio operates in a continuous high power state;
• and
• use the one or more transceivers to transmit a signal to the at least one receiving apparatus, wherein the at least one receiving apparatus is configured to determine whether to perform an operation to update settings or parameters associated with a basic service set (BSS), wherein the settings or parameters associated with the BSS affect communications of the at least one receiving apparatus.
