Abstract
A method for estimating reception time of beacon signals includes receiving a beacon from a transmitting device, checking the real-time clock (RTC) of a receiving device, checking a timing synchronization function (TSF) of the received beacon, and estimating a reception time of a next beacon according to the RTC, TSF and a period of the beacon.
Claims10
A method for estimating reception time of beacon signals comprising:
- receiving a first beacon signal from a transmitting device;
- checking a real-time clock (RTC) of a receiving device;
- checking a timing synchronization function (TSF) of the first beacon signal;
- and
- estimating a reception time of a next beacon signal from the transmitting device according to the RTC of the receiving device, the TSF of the first beacon signal, and a period of the first beacon signal.
The method for estimating reception time of beacon signals according to claim .1, wherein the reception time of the next beacon signal is time for the receiving device to switch to a wake-up mode from a sleep mode.
A receiving device for estimating reception of beacon signals, comprising:
- a receiving block configured to receive a first beacon signal from a transmitting device;
- a clock;
- and
- a control block configured to check a real-time clock (RTC) of the receiving device and a timing synchronization function (TSF) of the first beacon signal, and configured to estimate a reception time of a next beacon signal from the transmitting device according to the RTC of the receiving device, the TSF of the first beacon signal, and a period of the first beacon signal.
