According to an implementation, a method for signaling that a first network node exists in a network is following entry of the first network node into a reduced power mode includes receiving, in a second network node, an indication that the first network node will enter into the reduced-power mode. The method also includes generating information that signals the existence of the first network node and that the first network node is reachable in the network and communicating the information to the network such that the second network node operates as a proxy advertiser for the first network node following entry of the first network node into the reduced-power mode.

A method for keeping remote connection, an electronic device, and a server are provided. After establishing a first network connection, the electronic device enters a power-saving state from an operation state. While operating in the power-saving state, a communication module of the electronic device continuously detects a keep-alive packet transmitted by the server via the first network connection. If an error of reception of the keep-alive packet occurs, the electronic device returns to the operation state from the power-saving state in response to a wake-up signal, so as to re-establish a second network connection between the electronic device and the server.

An aspect of the present disclosure enables each receiver node of a wireless network to synchronize active widows with those of the sender node. In an embodiment, a receiver node receives a packet from a sender node on a wireless network, with the packet including data indicating a position of the packet in an active window of the sender node. The receiver node determines the position at which the packet is received in an active window of the receiver node. The receiver node determines a difference between the two positions and adjusts a start position of the next active window (of the receiver node) based on the determined difference to synchronize the future active windows at the receiver node to respective active windows at the sender node.

A computing device (such as a computer gaming console) uses only a single radio to concurrently communicate with a wireless network access point and wireless client devices such as game controllers or peripherals. To establish and maintain both a high-throughput link with the access point, and a low-latency link with the client device(s), the single Wi-Fi radio of the computing device is configured to periodically switch between a channel used for the high-throughput link and a different channel that is used for the low-latency link-thus implementing a combination of frequency division multiplexing (FDM) and time division multiplexing (TDM). The console may use aspects of the Wi-Fi protocol standard to ensure that periodically switching its single radio between the two channels is accomplished while maintaining reliable communication on both channels.

The present disclosure relates to a method for saving power consumption of a mobile station, and a mobile station, a base station, and an access point using the method. A method embodiment applicable to the mobile station of according to the present disclosure, including: in response to receiving a control instruction through a first radio access technology, waking up, according to the control instruction, a communications module applying a second radio access technology; and subsequently, in response to in response to receiving an indication frame through the second radio access technology, controlling the communications module to enter a sleep mode.

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.

A method of waking up a mesh node in a wireless mesh network, wherein said mesh node comprises a main receiver and a wakeup receiver, and wherein said method comprises the steps of receiving, by said wakeup receiver of said mesh node, a wake up signal message, wherein said wake up signal message comprises context information which is related to a path between a source mesh node and a destination mesh node corresponding to said wake up signal message, determining, by said wakeup receiver of said mesh node, that said context information is applicable for said mesh node, activating, by said wakeup receiver of said mesh node, said main receiver of said mesh node for subsequently receiving a data message.

In one example, a control plane entity obtains an indication that a User Equipment (UE) has entered an idle mode. The control plane entity sets a routing locator corresponding to the UE to cause the control plane entity to trigger a paging request toward the UE to prompt the UE to transition from the idle mode when a first network node obtains a downlink packet destined for the UE. The control plane entity obtains a notification that the first network node has obtained the downlink packet and initiates the paging request toward the UE. The control plane entity updates the routing locator corresponding to the UE to cause the first network node to transmit further downlink packets destined for the UE toward a second network node configured to handle traffic on behalf of the UE.

A wireless mesh network has a coordinator that is configured to determine a topology of the network and define, based on the topology, a plurality of routes through the network. For each route, the coordinator is configured to assign a plurality of nodes to the route. Each of the nodes assigned to the route is configured to receive messages and wirelessly retransmit messages that include a route identifier that identifies the route. Since messages are forwarded through the network based on route identifiers, it is unnecessary for the nodes to maintain conventional routing tables and to broadcast route discovery messages in order to learn routes for populating the routing tables with route data, thereby reducing network traffic and congestion.
