Multiple delivery traffic indication map (DTIM) per device within single user, multiple user, multiple access, and/or MIMO wireless communications

A wireless communication device comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• receive a plurality of beacons from another wireless communication device;
• identify a plurality of restricted access windows (RAWs) specified within the plurality of beacons;
• process the plurality of RAWs to determine whether the plurality of RAWs specify that the wireless communication device is included within at least one of a first group or a second group of a plurality of wireless communication device groups to communicate with the another wireless communication device;
• support communications with the another wireless communication device during a first subset of RAWs within the plurality of RAWs having a first delivery traffic indication message (DTIM) periodicity when there is a first determination that the wireless communication device is included within the first group of the plurality of wireless communication device groups to communicate with the another wireless communication device;
• and
• support communications with the another wireless communication device during a second subset of RAWs within the plurality of RAWs having a second DTIM periodicity there is a second determination that the wireless communication device is included within the second group of the plurality of wireless communication device groups to communicate with the another wireless communication device.

A method for execution by a wireless communication device, the method comprising:

• receiving, via a communication interface of the wireless communication device, a plurality of frames from another wireless communication device;
• identifying a plurality of restricted access windows (RAWs) specified within the plurality of frames;
• processing the plurality of RAWs to determine whether the plurality of RAWs specify that the wireless communication device is included within at least one group of a plurality of wireless communication device groups to communicate with the another wireless communication device;
• and
• supporting communications with the another wireless communication device during a subset of RAWs within the plurality of RAWs having a delivery traffic indication message (DTIM) periodicity when there is a determination that the wireless communication device is included within the at least one group of the plurality of wireless communication device groups to communicate with the another wireless communication device.
