Padding for Wakeup Radio (WUR) Packets
First Claim
1. A method for generating and transmitting a wakeup radio (WUR) packet in a wireless local area network (WLAN), the method comprising:
- generating, at a communication device, a first portion of the WUR packet, wherein the first portion of the WUR packet corresponds to a WLAN legacy PHY preamble of the WUR packet;
generating, at the communication device, a second portion of the WUR packet, wherein generating the second portion of the WUR packet includes;
generating the second portion of the WUR packet to include a WUR packet PHY sync signal, wherein the WUR packet PHY sync signal corresponds to a sync bit sequence with each bit in the sync bit sequence modulated by a sync waveform,generating the second portion of the WUR packet to include a PHY data portion, andgenerating the second portion of the WUR packet to include a padding signal, wherein the padding signal corresponds to a padding bit sequence with each bit in the padding bit sequence modulated by the sync waveform; and
transmitting, by the communication device, the WUR packet.

Abstract
A communication device in a wireless local area network (WLAN) generates a first portion of a wakeup radio (WUR) packet and a second portion of the WUR packet. The first portion of the WUR packet corresponds to a WLAN legacy physical layer (PHY) preamble. Generating the second portion of the WUR packet includes: generating the second portion of the WUR packet to include a WUR packet PHY sync signal. The WUR packet PHY sync signal corresponds to a sync bit sequence with each bit in the sync bit sequence modulated by a sync waveform. The second portion of the WUR packet is generated to also include a PHY data portion and a padding signal. The padding signal corresponds to a padding bit sequence with each bit in the padding bit sequence modulated by the sync waveform. The communication device transmits the WUR packet in the WLAN.
