Estimating the term…
A manner of managing data transmission and operating-mode transitions in a communication network. A network node having a transmitter and receiver is selectively transitioned into a Transmit state, where the Transmit state is a condition wherein the transmitter is turned on for data transmission only during timeslots provided for by a PBW (pre-allocation bandwidth) and remains off otherwise. The PBW and clock drift allowance permits the receiver to remain off during all or most of the Transmit state.
A method of managing data transmission in a communication network, comprising transitioning a network node into a Transmit state, the node having a transmitter and a receiver for data transmission, and wherein the Transmit state is a condition wherein the transmitter is turned on for data transmission only during timeslots provided for by a PBW (pre-allocation bandwidth) and remains off otherwise.
