Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for updating a target wake time (TWT) service period and interval. The apparatuses include a communication device comprising a transceiver and a processor. The transceiver is configured to transmit and receive higher layer data packets in a TWT operation during a time period. The processor is configured to determine, based on PHY data rates during the time period, effective higher layer data rates, estimate an initial data transceiving time based on the effective higher layer data rates and total lengths of the data packets, adjust the initial data transceiving time to obtain a higher layer data transceiving time based on an estimated network congestion level, an estimated re-transmission rate, and a total amount of TWT overhead during the time period, and determine a new TWT service period and interval based on the higher layer data transceiving time.
