This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to wake-up frame indication. A device may determine a wake up receiver (WUR) wake-up frame to be sent to a first station device of one or more station devices. The device may determine one or more indications associated with the first station device, wherein the one or more indications indicate to the first station device, one or more actions to be taken by the first station device after waking up a primary connectivity radio (PCR) of the first station device. The device may cause a medium access control (MAC) layer to encode the WUR wake-up frame with the one or more indications associated with the first station device. The device may cause to send the WUR wake-up frame to the first station device using a physical layer (PHY).

TRANSMIT OPTIMIZATIONS FOR INCREASED POWER SAVINGS ON LOW POWER NODES
20200413334 · 2020-12-31 ·

A low power node (LPN) may identify one or more message repetition configurations (e.g., for one or more messages or payloads to be transmitted by the LPN, according to respective message repetition configurations) and may leverage a friend device for transmission operations associated with the message repetitions. For example, an LPN may indicate a payload (e.g., data or message information) and a corresponding message repetition configuration to a friend device (e.g., which may be wall powered and have access to more power resources), such that the friend device may perform transmission repetitions on behalf of the LPN. As such, upon conveying such payload and message repetition configuration information to the friend device, the LPN may enter a low power state (e.g., an idle mode, a sleep state, a discontinuous reception state, etc.) while the friend device performs transmission operations on behalf of the LPN (e.g., effectively conserving LPN power resources).

An IoT device having a low power consumption mode and an operating method thereof are disclosed. An objective in accordance with an aspect of an embodiment is to provide an IoT device wirelessly communicating, without a gateway, with a terminal by only a repeater and an operating method thereof.

Bluetooth data forwarding

A Bluetooth (BT) device includes a host processor and a BT controller coupled by a Host Controller Interface (HCI) including a Host Controller Transport Layer and a HCI Driver. The host processor implements an applications layer and includes HCI firmware for communicating via the Host Controller Transport Layer with the BT controller. The BT controller includes a processor coupled to a memory and to a transceiver, and a RF driver. The HCI firmware also includes HCI command code for a user to define a topology of the BT network including configuring the BT device in a current chain including a plurality of BT devices including configuring from which BT device it receives data from and which BT device it forwards data to. For communicating data across the BT network the BT device forwards the data without host processor involvement in at least resending the data back to its BT controller.

Staggered extended sleep cycles, comprising on and off sleep durations, in wireless devices
11871350 · 2024-01-09 · ·

Extended sleep in a wireless device. In an embodiment, synchronized parameters, used by a wireless device to define an extended-sleep cycle, are stored at a system. Based on the synchronized parameters, the system determines a transmission time at which to transmit a message over the wireless communication network such that the message will be received by the wireless device during a portion of the extended-sleep cycle during which the wireless device is monitoring paging occasions. The message is then queued until it is transmitted at the transmission time.

ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT OF CASTING REQUESTS AND/OR USER INPUTS AT A RECHARGEABLE DEVICE

Implementations set forth herein relate to management of casting requests and user inputs at a rechargeable device, which provides access to an automated assistant and is capable of rendering data that is cast from a separate device. Casting requests can be handled by the rechargeable device despite a device SoC of the rechargeable device operating in a sleep mode. Furthermore, spoken utterances provided by a user for invoking the automated assistant can also be adaptively managed by the rechargeable device in order mitigate idle power consumption by the device SoC. Such spoken utterances can be initially processed by a digital signal processor (DSP), and, based on one or more features (e.g., voice characteristic, conformity to a particular invocation phrase, etc.) of the spoken utterance, the device SoC can be initialized for an amount of time that is selected based on the features of the spoken utterance.
