Abstract
Certain embodiments herein relate to optimizing power consumption associated with processing group addressed messages. For example, a station may receive a group addressed message (e.g., a broadcast or multicast message) from the access point. An expected time at which such group addressed messages may be received may be determined such that the group addressed messages may be processed without processing beacon frames, thereby consuming less battery power, and as a result, optimizing power consumption at wireless stations.
