Abstract
Methods and systems for waking up an electronic device having a wake-up receiver circuit. A low-power wake-up signal is transmitted, including a wake-up frame including a simplified MAC header. The wake-up frame may also include a simplified frame body. Methods for recovering from failure of a wake-up receiver circuit are also described.
Claims18
A method of waking up an electronic device (ED) having a wake-up receiver circuit, the method comprising:
- transmitting a low-power wake-up signal, the wake-up signal comprising a wake-up frame including a simplified MAC header;
- wherein the simplified MAC header comprises a message type field identifying a message type of the wake-up frame, a message number field identifying a sequence number of the wake-up frame and a receiver identifier (RxID) field identifying an intended ED.
A method of waking up an electronic device (ED) having a wake-up receiver circuit, the method comprising:
- transmitting a low-power wake-up signal, the wake-up signal comprising a wake-up frame including a simplified frame body;
- wherein the simplified frame body comprises one or more simplified information elements (IEs), each simplified IE comprising an IE identifier, an IE length value and carried information.
A method of waking up an electronic device (ED) having a wake-up receiver circuit, the method comprising:
- in absence of a wake-up signal from the wake-up receiver circuit, after exceeding a predetermine timeout duration, waking a main receiver circuit from a sleep state.
