Wake-up radio with urgent-data criterion

Last updated:

Abstract:

An interface circuit in an electronic device (such as an access point) may receive a wake-up-radio (WUR)-setup request associated with a recipient electronic device, where the WUR-setup request specifies one or more proposed data criteria or wake-up criteria that indicate when a wake-up frame is to be transmitted to the recipient electronic device. In response, the electronic device may determine one or more data criteria (or wake-up criteria) for use based at least in part on the one or more proposed data criteria. Then, the interface circuit may provide a WUR-setup response intended for the recipient electronic device, where the WUR-setup response indicates acceptance of the one or more proposed data criteria for use as the one or more data criteria or a proposed modification of at least one of the one or more proposed data criteria.
