`
`application.
`
`Listing of Claims:
`
`1-20.
`
`(Canceled)
`
`21.
`
`(Currently Amended) A communication apparatus comprising:
`
`circuitry which, in operation, uses botha temporal key anda first part of a Time
`
`Synchronization Function (TSF) timer of the communication apparatus a-numberto compute a
`
`MessageIntegrity Code (MIC}-);and
`
`
`a transmitter which, in operation, transmits, to a station associated with the
`
`communication apparatus, a Wake-Up Radio (WUR)frame withcentainisethe MIC,
`
`wherein the WUR frame includes a second part of the TSF timer of the communication
`
`apparatus for time adjustment and does not includesthe first part of the TSF timer of the
`
`communication apparatus for MIC verification, and
`
`wherein the WUR frame wakes up the station associated with the communication
`
`apparatus.
`
`22.
`
`(Previously Presented) The communication apparatus according to Claim 21,
`
`wherein the temporal key is a WUR Temporal Key, and the circuitry uses the WUR Temporal
`
`Key to compute the MIC for protecting the WUR frame whichis an individually addressed
`
`WUR frame.
`
`23.
`
`(Currently Amended) The communication apparatus according to Claim 21,
`
`wherein the temporal keyis a WUR integrity group Temporal Key, and the circuitry uses the
`
`WUR integrity group Temporal Key to compute the MIC for protecting the WUR framewhichis
`
`a broadcast WUR frameor a group addressed WUR frame.
`
`
`
`Application No. 16/614,821
`Reply to Office Action Dated December8, 2021
`
`24.
`
`(Currently Amended) The communication apparatus according to Claim 21,
`
`wherein:
`
`the communication apparatus maintains the TSF timer and the station maintains a station
`
`TSE timer, and
`
`the station uses the station TSF timer to generate a local MIC for comparison with the
`
`
`
`
`
`MICincluded in the received WUR frame+the-WUR-frameswakestup-astatienassectatedawiththe
`
`25.
`
`(Previously Presented) The communication apparatus according to Claim 21,
`
`wherein the circuitry uses a transmitter address to compute the MIC.
`
`26.
`
`(Currently Amended) The communication apparatus according to Claim 21,
`
`wherein the MICis included eentained-in a Frame Check Sequence framecheeksequence(FCS)
`
`field of the WUR frame.
`
`27.
`
`(Currently Amended) The communication apparatus according to Claim 21,
`
`wherein the MIC is computed from an identifier (ID) field of the WUR frame.
`
`28-30. (Cancelled)
`
`31.
`
`(Currently Amended) A communication method implemented by a
`
`communication apparatus, the communication method comprising:
`
`using botha temporal key anda first part of a Time Synchronization Function (TSF)
`
`timer of the communication apparatus anumberto compute a Message Integrity Code (MIC}-):;
`
`and
`
`transmitting, to a station associated with the communication apparatus, a Wake-Up Radio
`
`(WUR)frame centatninsthe- with the MIC,
`
`wherein the WUR frame includes a second part of the TSF timer of the communication
`
`apparatus for time adjustment and does not includethe first part of the TSF timerof the
`
`communication apparatus for MIC verification, and
`
`
`
`Application No. 16/614,821
`Reply to Office Action Dated December8, 2021
`
`wherein the WUR frame wakes up the station associated with the communication
`
`apparatus.
`
`32.
`
`(Currently Amended) The communication method according to Claim 31,
`
`wherein —whereit-the temporal key is a WUR Temporal Key, and the WUR Temporal Keyis
`
`used to compute the MIC for protecting the WUR frame whichis an individually addressed
`
`WUR frame.
`
`33.
`
`(Currently Amended) The communication method according to Claim 31,
`
`wherein where##-the temporal key is a WUR integrity group Temporal Key, and the WUR
`
`integrity group Temporal Key is used to compute the MIC for protecting the WUR frame which
`
`is a broadcast WUR frameor a group addressed WUR frame.
`
`34.
`
`(Currently Amended) The communication method according to Claim 31,
`
`wherein:
`
`the communication apparatus maintains the TSF timer and the station maintains a station
`
`TSE timer, and
`
`the station uses the station TSF timer to generate a local MIC for comparison with the
`
`MICincluded in the received WUR frame—wheretn+he-WUR-frameawakes-ap-a-station
