1. An apparatus comprising:
- a wireless transceiver;
a processor coupled to said transceiver; and
a connection management module for execution by said processor, said connection management module to establish a connection with a client device, receive a sleep preparation message with at least one sleep parameter value from said client device, said sleep preparation message having a capabilities parameter value to represent whether said client device may be remotely switched from said sleep mode to an operational mode using a wake up command or whether said client device includes a sleep mode that cannot be switched to an operational mode, set a timeout value for said connection based on said sleep parameter value, send a cryptographic key to said client device and set a key timeout value for said cryptographic key based on said sleep parameter value to allow the client device to be in the operational mode prior to receiving a new cryptographic key.

Abstract
Wake on wireless network techniques are described. An apparatus may include a wireless transceiver, a processor coupled to said transceiver, and a connection management module for execution by the processor. The connection management module may establish a connection with a client device, receive a sleep preparation message with at least one sleep parameter value from the client device, and set a timeout value for the connection based on the sleep parameter value. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

1. An apparatus comprising:
-
a wireless transceiver; a processor coupled to said transceiver; and a connection management module for execution by said processor, said connection management module to establish a connection with a client device, receive a sleep preparation message with at least one sleep parameter value from said client device, said sleep preparation message having a capabilities parameter value to represent whether said client device may be remotely switched from said sleep mode to an operational mode using a wake up command or whether said client device includes a sleep mode that cannot be switched to an operational mode, set a timeout value for said connection based on said sleep parameter value, send a cryptographic key to said client device and set a key timeout value for said cryptographic key based on said sleep parameter value to allow the client device to be in the operational mode prior to receiving a new cryptographic key. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3)

4. A system, comprising:
a wireless access point, comprising; a wireless transceiver; a processor coupled to said transceiver; and a connection management module for execution by said processor, said connection management module to establish a connection with a client device, receive a sleep preparation message with at least one sleep parameter value from said client device, said sleep preparation message having a capabilities parameter value to represent whether said client device may be remotely switched from said sleep mode to an operational mode using a wake up command or whether said client device includes a sleep mode that cannot be switched to an operational mode, set a timeout value for said connection based on said sleep parameter value, send a cryptographic key to said client device, and set a key timeout value for said cryptographic key based on said sleep parameter value to allow the client device to be in the operational mode prior to receiving a new cryptographic key. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6)

7. A method, comprising:
-
establishing a connection between a wireless access point and a client device; receiving a sleep preparation message with at least one sleep parameter value, said sleep preparation message having a capabilities parameter value to represent whether said client device may be remotely switched from said sleep mode to an operational mode using a wake up command or whether said client device includes a sleep mode that cannot be switched to an operational mode; setting a timeout value for said connection based on said sleep parameter value, sending a cryptographic key to said client device; and setting a key timeout value for said cryptographic key based on said sleep parameter value to allow the client device to be in the operational mode prior to receiving a new cryptographic key. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)

- 10. An article comprising a machine-readable storage medium containing instructions that if executed enable a system to establish a connection between a wireless access point and a client device, receive a sleep preparation message with at least one sleep parameter value, said sleep preparation message having a capabilities parameter value to represent whether said client device may be remotely switched from said sleep mode to an operational mode using a wake up command or whether said client device includes a sleep mode that cannot be switched to an operational mode, set a timeout value for said connection based on said sleep parameter value, send a cryptographic key to said client device, and set a key timeout value for said cryptographic key based on said sleep parameter value to allow the client device to be in the operational mode prior to receiving a new cryptographic key.
