First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for communicating data, the method comprising:
- generating a traffic indication virtual bitmap based on the presence of stored data that is pending transmission via at least a wireless communication medium; and
generating a partial virtual bitmap based on said generated traffic indication virtual bitmap, wherein;
said partial virtual bitmap comprises a first segment from said generated traffic indication virtual bitmap and a second segment from said generated traffic indication virtual bitmap.

Abstract
Aspects of a system for an efficient traffic indication map (TIM) element supporting multiple basic service sets (BSSes) in a wireless LAN may include an access point (AP) the enables generation of a traffic indication virtual bitmap based on the presence of stored data pending transmission to one or more WLAN stations (STAs) via a wireless communication medium. The AP may generate a partial virtual bitmap based on the generated traffic indication virtual bitmap. The partial virtual bitmap may comprise a first segment and a second segment, wherein each segment may be derived from the generated traffic indication virtual bitmap.
