Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method and apparatus of managing power save in a wireless network is provided. A direct link with a peer station (STA) is established by exchanging a Tunneled Direct Link Setup (TDLS) setup request frame and a TDLS setup response frame through an access point (AP). The peer STA enters power save mode (PSM). Traffic data that are destined for the peer STA in the PSM are buffered and a peer traffic indication (PTI) frame is transmitted to the peer STA in the PSM. The PTI frame includes a traffic identifier (TID) field and a sequence control field. Unnecessary allocation of service period can be prevented.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of managing power save in a wireless network, the method comprising: establishing, by a station (STA), a direct link with a peer STA by exchanging a Tunneled Direct Link Setup (TDLS) setup request frame and a TDLS setup response frame via an access point (AP); transmitting, by the STA via the direct link, an indicator indicating that the STA enters a power save mode (PSM); entering, by the STA, the PSM; and receiving, by the STA, a peer…
