• Wake-on-WPAN – Jay Bain• Unused bits in CTA to indicate mode and next
active SF – Mark Schrader• Null-CTA element – Mark Schrader• Current EPS state in device information
request – John Barr • Definitions of EPS and related terms – Jay

Wake on WPAN
• Transition from EPS to Active mode in an EPS DEV develops MLME-POWERMGT.indication primitive.
• Structure in place in d0.7, 6.3.1.3.• Add tie between the 7.5.x commands changing
modes or indication of data and the clause 6 primitives. Add this text in clause 8.
• Consider addition of means for enable/disable of the indication as a PIB item.
• Add differentiation of Wake to consider the three CTA characters (awake, EPS, momentary)

Issue1
• There is no explicit indication in the CTA element if it is an AWAKE or an EPS type. There is a difference:– If EPS CTA then the DEV will not be awake
for each beacon– If AWAKE CTA then the DEV will be awake

Issue 2
• When a station is sleeping there is no beacon info. communicated about the state of the DEV. Information:– Is it in EPS mode or AWAKE mode?– When will the source be waking up or
simply having its next time (low QoS) slot?• For destination DEVs losing
beacons/synchronization• For a station wanting to establish a stream

Issue 3
• CTA elements are added and omitted from the header depending on whether the DEV has a slot (or will be awake) in that superframe. This may be more work for the PNC then always having the CTA element and modifying the values of CTA fields periodically.

Destination DEV address = 1B
Source DEV address = 1B

Proposed Use of Two Unused CTA Bits
• Bit 0: CTA Element Type & DEV Mode• 0 = AWAKE CTA Element Type • 1 = EPS CTA Element Type
• Bit 1: SST/NAB Field Definition• 0 = The field is the Slot Start Time, SST, as in
previous slide and the current draft D07, p78.• 1 = Next Active Beacon, NAB. The field is
defined as, the 2 LSB’s of the beacon number, of the next superframe in which the DEV will have a time slot (or if asleep, wake up).

Result of These Changes• An AWAKE DEV with a time slot every N
superframes will always have a CTA element.
• A device that is asleep (EPS mode) will always have a CTA element.
• Other DEVs reading the a CTA element always know the mode of that DEV, and either the slot time or the beacon number of the next time slot.

What is the Impact?• CTA element values will not change any
more often than before. Important for the “CTA change bit”.
• CTA adds/deletes will occur less often then before.
• The PNC will post the:– CTA mode associated with a CTA element.– next SF in which a slot will occur if it is not in
this SF.

Global Advantages• The mode is always posted.
• Network robustness and synchronization will be improved:– If: – Then: the next beacon will be enough to
restore the lost beacon information regardless of mode or QoS.
• Minimal, if any, additional PNC overhead.

Definition
• The null CTA element is a CTA element with the same slot start time as the next CTA element listed in the beacon. It is used to indicate that a sleeping device is awake on this superframe to listen to the beacon, but does not have a time slot allocated.
