Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods are configured to monitor signals received via a transmission medium by a paging monitor to detect an activity trigger. Systems, apparatuses, and methods are further configured to, in response to detecting the activity trigger, cause, by the paging monitor, a main receiver to transition from an energy conservation mode to an active mode to monitor the transmission medium for data traffic.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- monitoring signals received via a transmission medium by a paging monitor to detect an activity trigger;
- and
- in response to detecting the activity trigger, causing, by the paging monitor, a main receiver to transition from an energy conservation mode to an active mode to monitor the transmission medium for data traffic.
An apparatus comprising:
- a main receiver coupled to a transmission medium and configured to transition between an energy conservation mode and an active mode;
- and
- a paging monitor configured to:
- monitor signals received via the transmission medium to detect an activity trigger;
- and
- in response to detecting the activity trigger, cause the main receiver to transition from the energy conservation mode to the active mode to monitor the transmission medium for data traffic.
3 more elements
One or more computer readable media comprising computer executable instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to perform a method comprising:
- monitoring signals received via a transmission medium by a paging monitor to detect an activity trigger;
- and
- in response to detecting the activity trigger, causing, by the paging monitor, a main receiver to transition from an energy conservation mode to an active mode to monitor the transmission medium for data traffic.
