LAST SEQUENCE NUMBER INDICATION

Abstract:

The subject technology provides a receiving device with an indication of a last packet being transmitted in a group of packets. In this manner, the receiving device can enter a low power mode after determining that the last packet in the group of packets has been received (e.g., in addition to all prior packets in the group). For example, in the subject system a transmitting device may provide an indication of the sequence number of a last packet in the group, such as by inserting the indication into a header of one or more packets in the group of packets. In one or more implementations, each packet may include a sequence number, thus the sequence number of the last packet in the group may be the highest sequence number across the group.
