Adapting restricted target wake time to provide traffic classification granularity

Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to modifying use of Restricted Target Wake Up Time Service to restrict broadcasting traffic parameters sets on a per traffic category basis between an access point and an end device in a wireless network. In one aspect, a method includes transmitting, by an access point, a message to an end device connected to the access point, the message identifying for the end device a traffic type restriction policy that the access point has on reporting Restricted Target Wake Time (R-TWT) parameters for a plurality of traffic types; and receiving, from the end device, a separate Broadcast TWT Parameters Set for each one of the plurality of traffic types in accordance with the traffic type restriction policy.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
