Abstract
Presented herein are techniques for extending Target Wake Time (TWT) to provide for randomizing and changing media access control (MAC) address (RCM) signaling. According to certain embodiments, a client device operating in a wireless network determines a TWT for the client device. Next, the client device determines that it will change from using a first MAC address to a using second MAC address. Finally, the client device generates, for transmission to an access point device that serves wireless communication in the wireless network, a TWT signaling message. The TWT signaling message indicates the TWT for the client device and the second MAC address.
