FIELD: radio engineering and communications.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to wireless communication, more specifically, implementation versions relate to communication protocols between wireless transmitters and receivers. Logic may implement restricted access window association circuit, which uses information provided in traffic indication bit map (TIM) bit array, and parameter set (PS) of restricted access window (RAW) in order to determine station connected to RAW. TIM information element (IE) may contain a bitmap indicating stations on numbered and unordered pages. RAWPS IE can contain a number of stations association identifiers (AID) and, possibly, other selection station data. Logic may determine a row of stations related with RAW based on AID for first and last stations in a row based on station position in TIM bit map. And row of stations related with RAW, can be independent from block associations of first and last stations in TIM bit map.
EFFECT: methods and devices for determining stations assignments in restricted access windows in wireless networks.
