Abstract
A system and method for reducing power consumption in a wireless transmitter is useful for conserving battery power in wireless communication devices. The method includes storing a voice data packet in a buffer operatively coupled to the wireless transmitter (step 310). A power supply of the wireless transmitter is then cycled between a high power level and a low power level (step 315). The voice data packet is then transmitted from the buffer to the wireless transmitter when the power supply of the wireless transmitter is at the high power level (step 320).
Claims15
A method for reducing power consumption in a wireless transmitter, the method comprising:
- storing a voice data packet in a buffer operatively coupled to the wireless transmitter;
- cycling a power supply of the wireless transmitter between a high power level and a low power level;
- and
- transmitting the voice data packet from the buffer to the wireless transmitter when the power supply of the wireless transmitter is at the high power level.
A system for reducing power consumption in a wireless transmitter, the system comprising:
- a power supply gate operatively coupled to the wireless transmitter;
- and
- an audio stream buffer operatively coupled to both the wireless transmitter and to the power supply gate;
- wherein the power supply gate causes a power supply to the wireless transmitter to cycle between a high power level and a low power level, and voice data packets are transmitted from the audio stream buffer to the wireless transmitter only when the power supply of the wireless transmitter is at the high power level.
