Methods and arrangements to support wake-up radio packet transmission
Logic may define one or more wake-up preambles suitable for high data rates for a wake-up radio (WUR) packet. Logic may define wake-up preamble with different counts of symbols. Logic may generate a wake-up preamble as two microsecond pulses of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in a four megahertz (MHz) bandwidth. Logic may generate and receive a high data rate (HDR) WUR preamble or a low data rate (LDR) WUR preamble. The HDR preamble may signal a data rate of 250 kilobits per second and the LDR preamble may signal a data rate of 62.5 kilobits per second. The HDR preamble bit count may be twice a bit count of the LDR preamble. The HDR preamble may be 32 bits. The duration of transmission of the HDR may be 64 microseconds and duration of transmission of the LDR may be 128 microseconds.
