Abstract
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to awake window (AW) protection. A device may identify a beacon frame received from a first device. The device may identify an information element associated with a first awake window (AW) within the beacon frame. The device may suspend one or more first backoff timers for a duration of the first AW. The device may associate a second backoff timer with a management frame.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- at least one memory that stores computer-executable instructions;
- and
- at least one processor configured to access the at least one memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:
- identify a beacon frame received from a first device;
- identify an information element associated with a first awake window (AW) within the beacon frame;
- suspend one or more first backoff timers for a duration of the first AW;
- and
- associate a second backoff timer with a management frame.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which when executed by one or more processors result in performing operations comprising:
- identifying a beacon frame received from a device;
- identifying an information element associated with a first awake window (AW) within the beacon frame;
- suspending one or more first backoff timers for a duration of the first AW;
- and
- associating a second backoff timer with a management frame.
A method comprising:
- identifying, by one or more processors, a beacon frame received from a device;
- identifying an information element associated with a first awake window (AW) within the beacon frame;
- suspending one or more first backoff timers for a duration of the first AW;
- and
- associating a second backoff timer with a management frame.
