Abstract
Various aspects of apparatus for accessing a network through a wireless access point and methods of power savings for such apparatus include autonomously alternating between a listen state and the sleep state during a time period in which no data is detected from the remote apparatus, and progressively increase the sleep state interval during the time period for at least a portion of the time period.
Claims48
An apparatus for wireless communications with a remote apparatus, comprising:
- a processing system configured to:
- autonomously switch from a first listen state to a sleep state;
- autonomously switch from the sleep state to a second listen state after an initial sleep state interval from switching to the sleep state;
- and
- adjust the initial sleep state interval.
An apparatus for wireless communications with a remote apparatus, comprising:
- means for autonomously switching from a first listen state to a sleep state;
- means for autonomously switching from the sleep state to a second listen state after an initial sleep state interval from switching to the sleep state;
- and
- means for adjusting the initial sleep state interval.
A method of power savings for an apparatus configured to access a network through a wireless access point, comprising:
- autonomously switching from a first listen state to a sleep state;
- autonomously switching from the sleep state to a second listen state after an initial sleep state interval from switching to the sleep state;
- and
- adjusting the initial sleep state interval.
A computer program product for an apparatus configured to access a network through a wireless access point, comprising:
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code executable by one or more processors for:
- autonomously switching from a first listen state to a sleep state;
- autonomously switching from the sleep state to a second listen state after an initial sleep state interval from switching to the sleep state;
- and
- adjusting the initial sleep state interval.
