Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices for communicating data in a wireless communications network are described herein. In some aspects, a wireless device includes a first receiver and a second receiver. The second receiver may be configured to consume less power than the first receiver. The second receiver receives a second signal wherein the second signal comprises a wake-up signal configured in NDP format including a signal field. The wireless device includes a circuit configured to take at least one action based on the second signal.
Claims120
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a first receiver configured to receive at least a first signal;
- a circuit comprising
- a second receiver configured to receive a second signal, wherein the second signal comprises a wake-up signal configured in NDP format including a signal field, the second receiver configured to, when in an awake state, consume less power than the first receiver when in an awake state,
- wherein the circuit is configured to take at least one action based on the second signal.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- first means for receiving at least a first signal;
- second means for receiving a second signal, wherein the second signal comprises a wake-up signal configured in NDP format including a signal field, the second receiving means configured to, when in an awake state, consume less power than the first receiving means when in an awake state, wherein the second means is configured to take at least one action based on the second signal.
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving at least a first signal;
- receiving a second signal, wherein the second signal comprises a wake-up signal configured in NDP format including a signal field, the second receiving means configured to, when in an awake state, consume less power than the first receiving means when in an awake state, wherein the second means is configured to take at least one action based on the second signal.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium encoded thereon with instructions that when executed cause a wireless communications apparatus to perform a method of wireless communication, said method comprising:
- receiving at least a first signal;
- receiving a second signal, wherein the second signal comprises a wake-up signal configured in NDP format including a signal field, the second receiving means configured to, when in an awake state, consume less power than the first receiving means when in an awake state, wherein the second means is configured to take at least one action based on the second signal.
