Revision History Rev 0: Initial revision Rev 1: PSIM renamed to UPSIM (unscheduled power save indication map) UPSIM limited to unscheduled power save mode Included tables where UPSIM element needs to be added Updates to the general/overview section (10.2.6.1) to clarify scheduled and unscheduled PS and their co-existence Clarify ATIM response rules when in unscheduled PS mode (no need to wake up) Added an example for ATIM response behavior Rev 2: Allow PCP to use the unscheduled power save mechanism when associated with more than one STA Corrections to figure to reflect need for additional ATIM frame transsmissions Define PS mode as a management primitive instead of the reflection of the STA power state Rev 3: Minor/editorial corrections [Add a new UPSIM abbreviation.] 3.4 Abbreviations and acronyms ... [DTIM is undefined in DMG networks.] 6.3.2.2.2 Semantics of the service primitive The primitive parameters are as follows: MLME-POWERMGT.request( PowerManagementMode, ReceiveDTIMs ) Name Type range Description PowerManagementMode Enumeration ACTIVE, An enumerated type that describes the requested power POWER_SAVE management mode of the STA. ReceiveDTIMs Boolean true, false When true, this parameter causes the STA to awaken to receive all DTIM frames. When false, the STA is not required to awaken for every DTIM Beacon frame. [Clarify the usage of the Power Management field in DMG.] 8.2.4.1.7 Power Management field The Power Management subfield is 1 bit in length and is used to indicate the power management mode of a STA. The value of this subfield is either reserved (as defined below) or remains constant in each frame from a particular
