Inventors include Gan, Ming; Zhao, Yue; Li, Yunbo; Meng, Meng; and Zhou, Ming.
The application for the patent was published on August 07, 2026, under issue no. 32/2026.
Abstract: Disclosed in the present application are a communication method and an apparatus, supporting IEEE protocols (such as the IEEE 802.11be/Wi-Fi 7/EHT protocol, the IEEE 802.11bn/UHR/Wi-Fi 8 protocol, the IEEE 802.15/UWB protocol, or the IEEE 802.11bf/sensing protocol). The method comprises: a station receives in a first mode a first radio frame from an access point, the first radio frame being used for triggering the station to switch modes, and the first radio frame comprising identification information of the station; upon receiving the first radio frame, the station switches from the first mode to a second mode; and the station receives in the second mode a message frame from the access point, the power consumption of the station in the first mode being lower than the power consumption of the station in the second mode. The solution can ensure that the station is only triggered to switch modes by WiFi signals sent to the station itself, thereby reducing power consumption of stations.
