Systems and method for indicating service period information for restricted target wake time

A device comprising:

• one or more processors configured to:
• generate a frame relating to a target wake time (TWT) schedule;
• determine whether the device can accept a request for a new membership of the TWT schedule;
• in response to determining that the device cannot accept a request for the new membership of the TWT schedule, set a subfield of the frame to a first value, indicating, to a receiver device receiving the frame, to avoid sending a request for the new membership of the TWT schedule;
• determine whether there exists another TWT schedule set up for an overlapping basic service set (OBSS) which is different from a BSS of the device;
• in response to determining that there exists another TWT schedule set up for the OBSS, set the subfield of the frame to a second value, indicating, to the receiver device receiving the frame, to end a Transmit Opportunity (TXOP) duration before a start time of a service period (SP) of the another TWT schedule;
• and
• wirelessly transmit, via a transmitter, the generated frame to the receiver device.

A method comprising:

• generating, by one or more processors of a device, a frame relating to a target wake time (TWT) schedule;
• determining, by the one or more processors, that the device cannot allocate one or more resources for a new membership of the TWT schedule;
• determining, by the one or more processors, that the device cannot accept a request for the new membership of the TWT schedule;
• setting, by the one or more processors, a subfield of the frame to a first value, indicating, to a receiver device receiving the frame, to avoid sending a request for the new membership of the TWT schedule;
• and
• wirelessly transmitting, via a transmitter, the generated frame to the receiver device.
