Assignee: CABLE TELEVISION LABORATORIES, INC.
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 11:
12. A wireless termination point (WTP), comprising:
a memory subsystem;
a processing subsystem communicatively coupled to the memory subsystem, the processing subsystem configured to:
(a) execute characteristic determination instructions stored in the memory subsystem to determine one or more characteristics of a first user equipment (UE) station,
(b) execute beacon customizing instructions stored in the memory subsystem to customize one or more Unicast beacons for the first UE station, to reduce wireless communication airtime associated with the one or more Unicast beacons relative to wireless communication airtime associated with one more default beacons transmitted by the WTP, based at least in part on one or more characteristics of the first UE station, and
(c) execute additional instructions stored in the memory subsystem to update customization of the one or more Unicast beacons in response to failure to receive an acknowledgement data frame from the first UE station; and

a radio subsystem communicatively coupled to the processing subsystem, the radio subsystem configured to transmit the one or more Unicast beacons to the first UE station.
