1. A device comprising:
memory; and
circuitry coupled with the memory to demodulate a beacon frame from a peer mesh point (MP), the beacon frame comprising an awake window information element, the awake window information element to comprise an identifier field, a length field, and an awake window field, the awake window field comprising an awake window value to indicate a time duration of an awake window for the peer MP, and to determine how long the peer mesh point will remain awake after sending the beacon frame by determination of the time duration, the beacon frame further comprising an interval to indicate a time interval between consecutive beacon transmissions from another device.
