`
`application.
`
`Listing of Claims:
`
`1-13.
`
`(Cancelled)
`
`14.
`
`(Currently Amended) A communication apparatus, comprising:
`
`a receiver which, in operation, receives a Wake-up Radio (WUR) Beacon transmission;
`
`and
`
`circuitry which, in operation:;
`
`determines wake-up operating parameters including a starting point of aduty
`
`cycle schedule of the receiver, wherein the duty cycle schedule specifies a period of one WUR
`
`duty cycle including one on duration and one off duration: and
`
`
`
`enters WURWakeUPRadio(WUR}mode by communicating with a second
`
`communication apparatus, wherein each timing ofthe starting point of the duty cycle schedule of
`
`the receiveris aligned with a determinedbasedentarget WUR Beacon transmission time
`
`(TWBTT)of the WUR Beacon transmission in the WUR mode or aligned with the TWBTT with
`
`an added timeoffset.
`
`15.
`
`(Previously Presented) The communication apparatus according to claim 14,
`
`wherein the circuitry, in operation, determines the wake-up operating parameters via a WUR
`
`negotiation procedure, and enters the WUR mode via a WUR modeentry procedure.
`
`16.
`
`(Previously Presented) The communication apparatus according to claim 14,
`
`wherein the circuitry, in operation, determines the wake-up operating parameters and enters the
`
`WUR modevia an integrated WUR negotiation and a WUR modeentry procedure.
`
`
`
`Application No. 16/757,217

`
`17.
`
`(Currently Amended) The communication apparatus according to claim 14,
`
`wherein the wake-up operating parameters includes a period of the duty cycle schedule of the
`
`receiver, and the period of the duty cycle schedule is an integer multiple of aWUR Beacon
`
`interval or a fraction of the WUR Beaconinterval of the WUR Beacontransmission.
`
`18.
`
`(Previously Presented) The communication apparatus according to claim 14,
`
`wherein one of the wake-up operating parameters is a WUR TSFtimer accuracy.

`19.
`
`(Previously Presented) The communication apparatus according to claim 14,
`
`wherein one of the wake-up operating parametersis a time resolution of partial TSF.
`
`20.
`
`(Currently Amended) The communication apparatus according to claim 14,
`
`wherein thewake-up operating parametersare classified into nonconfigurable wake-up operating
`
`parameters and configurable wake-up operating parameters.
`
`21.
`
`(Previously Presented) The communication apparatus according to claim 20,
`
`wherein the communication apparatus exchanges the nonconfigurable wake-up operating
`
`parameters with the second communication apparatus via a synchronization procedure or an
`
`association procedure.
`
`22.
`
`(Previously Presented) The communication apparatus according to claim 20,
`
`wherein the communication apparatus negotiates the configurable wake-up operating parameters
`
`with the second communication apparatus via a WURnegotiation procedure, and enters the
`
`WUR mode via a WUR modeentry procedure.
`
`23.
`
`(Previously Presented) The communication apparatus according to claim 20,
`
`wherein the communication apparatus negotiates the configurable wake-up operating parameters
`
`with the second communication apparatus, and enters the WUR modevia an integrated WUR
`
`negotiation and WUR modeentry procedure.
`
`
`
`Application No. 16/757,217
`Reply to Office Action Dated July 8, 2021
`
`24.
`
`(Previously Presented) The communication apparatus according to claim 20,
`
`wherein the communication apparatus negotiates the configurable wake-up operating parameters
`
`with the second communication apparatus via an association procedure, and enters the WUR

`
`25.
`
`(Currently Amended) The communication apparatus according to claim 20,
`
`wherein the communication apparatus operating in the WUR modenegotiates the new
`
`configurable wake-up operating parameters with the second communication apparatus via a
`
`WUR negotiation procedure.
`
`26.
`
`(Currently Amended) The communication apparatus according to claim 14,
`
`wherein the communication apparatus and a third communication apparatus are associated with
`
`the second communication apparatus, and the starting start-point of the duty cycle schedule of the
`
`communication apparatusis different from a starting start-point of a duty cycle schedule of the
`
`third communication apparatus.
