Systems and methods for low power wake-up signal implementation and operations for WLAN
First Claim
1. An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:
- a processing system configured to generate a plurality of wake-up sequences to wake up a wireless node and a network allocation vector associated with the plurality of wake-up sequences, each wake-up sequence comprising at least one wake-up message configured to trigger the wireless node to determine whether to exit an ultra-low power (ULP) mode; and
an interface configured to output the plurality of wake-up sequences for transmission in accordance with the network allocation vector.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication are disclosed. In one implementation an apparatus for wireless communications is provided. The apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive a wake-up message that is a portion of a wake-up sequence. In certain implementations, the apparatus further includes a processing system operably coupled to the receiver and configured to wake the receiver for a period of time. The period of time can exceed at least a transmission period of the wake-up sequence plus a transmission period of the wake-up message. The apparatus can further include a transmitter configured to transmit a message acknowledging receipt of the wake-up message.
