Abstract
Method and apparatus to manage multiple receivers for a wireless device are described.
Claims49
An apparatus, comprising:
- a media access controller to receive a physical layer convergence procedure protocol data unit, said media access controller to output a receiver control signal in response to said data unit;
- and
- a transceiver array to connect to said media access controller, said transceiver array having multiple receivers, with said transceiver array to switch between a first operating mode and a second operating mode in response to said receiver control signal, said first operating mode to include enabling said multiple receivers.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor, said processor to send a physical layer convergence procedure protocol data unit, said data unit to cause a station to switch between a first operating mode and a second operating mode in response to said receiver control signal, said first operating mode to include enabling multiple receivers.
A system, comprising:
- an access point to send a physical layer convergence procedure protocol data unit;
- a first station to receive said physical layer convergence procedure protocol data unit, said station comprising:
- a media access controller to output a receiver control signal in response to said data unit;
- and
- a transceiver array to connect to said media access controller, said transceiver array to include multiple receivers and multiple antennas, with said transceiver array to switch between a first operating mode and a second operating mode in response to said receiver control signal, said first operating mode to include enabling said multiple receivers.

A method, comprising:
- transmitting a physical layer convergence procedure protocol data unit, said data unit to cause a station to switch between a first operating mode and a second operating mode in response to said data unit, said first operating mode to include enabling multiple receivers.
A method, comprising:
- receiving a physical layer convergence procedure protocol data unit;
- and
- switching between a first operating mode and a second operating mode in response to said data unit, said first operating mode to include enabling a determined number of said receivers.
An article, comprising:
- a storage medium;
- said storage medium including stored instructions that, when executed by a processor, are operable to transmit a physical layer convergence procedure protocol data unit, said data unit to cause a station to switch between a first operating mode and a second operating mode in response to said data unit, said first operating mode to include enabling multiple receivers.
