摘要: In one aspect thereof the invention provides a method that includes transmitting from first (beaconing) mesh point at least multicast or broadcast frame; and transitioning to lower power mode of operation state after expiration specified post groupcast time last frame was transmitted by beaconing an awake window, when window expires, whichever occurs later. another operating peer in state; maintaining for no more than target beacon transmission time, received frame, receipt having indication will be transmitted. A computer-readable medium storing program instructions implement methods is also disclosed, as are corresponding apparatuses.
