==EXTENDING TWT INFORMATION FRAME FUNCTIONALITY OPERATION AND SIGNALING FOR ENHANCED LOW LATENCY AND POWER SAVINGS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240163792 titled 'EXTENDING TWT INFORMATION FRAME FUNCTIONALITY OPERATION AND SIGNALING FOR ENHANCED LOW LATENCY AND POWER SAVINGS

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes methods and systems for extending target wake time (TWT) frame functionality in wireless communication devices.

* A first wireless communication device configures subfields or fields in a TWT frame to indicate the presence or absence of optional fields or elements.
* The configured TWT frame is then transmitted to a second wireless communication device.
* The second device executes operations based on the configured subfields or fields in the received TWT frame.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in various wireless communication systems where TWT frames are used to schedule communication between devices.

== Problems Solved ==
This innovation addresses the issue of accommodating TWT wake intervals that do not meet threshold requirements, ensuring efficient communication between devices.

== Benefits ==
- Improved efficiency in wireless communication by extending TWT frame functionality.
- Enhanced flexibility in managing TWT schedules and service periods.
- Better utilization of resources in wireless networks.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
This technology could be valuable in industries such as telecommunications, IoT, and smart devices where efficient communication protocols are essential for seamless operation.

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be the use of TWT frames in wireless communication systems to schedule wake times for devices. However, the specific method of configuring subfields or fields to indicate optional elements in the TWT frame may be a novel aspect of this innovation.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does this technology impact battery life in wireless devices? ===
The article does not delve into the potential effects of this innovation on the battery life of wireless communication devices. It would be interesting to explore whether the extended TWT frame functionality has any implications for power consumption.

=== Are there any compatibility issues with existing wireless communication standards? ===
The patent application does not address whether this technology may pose compatibility challenges with current wireless communication protocols or standards. It would be important to investigate whether the extended TWT frame functionality aligns with industry standards to ensure seamless integration with existing systems.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

this disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for extending target wake time (twt) frame functionality. some aspects more specifically relate to accommodating twt wake intervals that do not satisfy threshold twt wake intervals. in some examples, a first wireless communication device configures at least one of: one or more subfields of a field or one or more fields of an element that include twt information in a twt frame, where the subfield(s) or field(s) indicate a presence or absence of at least one optional field in the twt frame, or an optional element in the twt frame. the device then transmits the twt frame to a second wireless communication device. after the second device receives this twt frame, this device executes one or more operations associated with a twt schedule or service period based at least in part on the configured subfield(s) or field(s) or the configured optional element.
