Fast wakeup and data transmission methods with progressive self-link adaptation for wireless communications, and apparatuses, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable storage devices employing same

A method applied in a first communication node for wireless communication with a second communication node, at least one of the first communication node or the second communication node being in reduced power consumption for wireless communication related activities, the method comprising:

• receiving from the second communication node at least a first redundancy version of a data piece,
• wherein the data piece is at least one of:
• (i) at least one a first portion of a wakeup signal or (ii) a first data set, the at least the first portion of the wakeup signal comprising control information for the first data set,
• wherein the first redundancy version is one of a plurality of first candidate redundancy versions, and
• wherein each of the plurality of first candidate redundancy versions comprises a different subset of a plurality of first encoded bits, and the plurality of first encoded bits is obtained by encoding the data piece using a first coding method.

An apparatus in a first communication node for wireless communication with a second communication node, at least one of the first communication node and the second communication node being in reduced power consumption for wireless communication related activities, the apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor coupled with at least one memory storing one or more instructions that are capable of being run on the at least one processor, wherein when the one or more instructions are run, the apparatus is enabled to:
• transmit to the second communication node at least a first redundancy version of a data piece,
• wherein the data piece is at least one of:
• (i) at least a first portion of a wakeup signal or (ii) a first data set, the at least the first portion of the wakeup signal comprising control information for the first data set,
• wherein the first redundancy version is one of a plurality of first candidate redundancy versions, and
• wherein each of the plurality of first candidate redundancy versions comprises a different subset of a plurality of first encoded bits, and the plurality of first encoded bits is obtained by encoding the data piece using a first coding method.
