Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for wireless communication including transmitting a beacon comprising group traffic information indicating whether group traffic is buffered for transmission and multicast/broadcast (MB) information indicating a type of the buffered group traffic with a first node. The beacon may be received by a second node, allowing the type of the buffered group traffic to be determined from the MB information. Types of buffered group traffic include multicast data, broadcast data and both multicast and broadcast data. As desired, the second node may enter a power save mode of operation upon determining that the type of buffered group data is not currently of interest.
