Abstract
Methods and Wi-Fi devices that utilize the target wait time (TWT) feature of the Wi-Fi specification are disclosed. These methods reduce power consumption by selectively listening to only a portion of the beacons that are transmitted by the access point. In one scenario, the Wi-Fi device only listens to one beacon per TWT wake interval. In another embodiment, the Wi-Fi device may have knowledge of the application that is being executed, such as its allowable latency. The Wi-Fi device may use this allowable latency to determine when to exit low power mode to receive a beacon. Further, mechanisms to ensure that the connection between the Wi-Fi device and the access point are also disclosed. Additionally, techniques to maintain synchronization between the Wi-Fi device and the access point are disclosed.
