Any help would be highly appreciated :) IEEE Std 802.11-2012, section 10.2.1.8 specifies that "when the STA detects that the bit corresponding to its AID is 1 i the TIM, the STA shall issue a PS Poll". In my capture there are cases when the STA exits the PS mode without waiting for a beacon. Thanks!
