Abstract:
Various aspects provide a wireless station (STA) to implement congestion sensitive target wake time (TWT) communications scheduling and enable the STA to determine whether to engage in communications between TWT service periods. A method described includes identifying a congestion metric, determining whether the congestion metric meets a congestion threshold, and transmitting a request to establish TWT communications in response to determining that the congestion metric meets the congestion threshold. Another method described includes terminating a scheduled service period of a TWT communications, receiving an indication that a threshold number of frames is available for transmission to an STA from an access point (AP) or an indication that one or more frames are present in a transmission queue at the STA, and transmitting, by the STA to the AP an indication that a communications link is to remain active between the terminated scheduled service period and a subsequent scheduled service period.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of scheduling communications between a wireless station and an access point, comprising:\n terminating a scheduled service period of a target wake time (TWT) communications between the wireless station and the access point; receiving, by the wireless station, at least one of an indication that a threshold number of frames is available to be transmitted to the wireless station from the access point or an indication that one or more frames are present in a transmission queue at the wireless station; and transmitting, by a transceiver of the wireless station, to the access point, an indication that a communications link is to remain active between the terminated scheduled service period and a second scheduled service period.
