Abstract:
A method for power saving in a wireless local area network. The method according to one embodiment includes acquiring, by a wireless device, a transmission opportunity (TXOP); and receiving a signal field from the transmitting device. A group identifier indicates recipients, a number indicator indicates spatial streams, and a power saving indicator indicates that the transmitting device is allowed to enter a doze state during the TXOP. The method according to the embodiment further includes determining, by the wireless device, whether a first condition or a second condition is satisfied. The first condition is satisfied if the power saving indicator indicates an allowance, the wireless device is a recipient indicated by the group identifier, and the number of spatial streams is equal to zero. The second condition is satisfied if the power saving indicator indicates an allowance, and the wireless device is not a recipient indicated by the group identifier.
