Abstract
A method and system for performing low power synchronization between to communication nodes is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method performed by a first wireless communication node includes: determining a wake up window start time and duration of a second wireless communication node; and transmitting at least one signal to the second wireless communication node during the determined wake up window, the at least one signal comprising at least one synchronization sequence, wherein the at least one synchronization sequence is configured to enable the second wireless communication node to adjust its wake up window timing.
Claims40
A method performed by a first wireless communication node, the method comprising:
- determining a wake up window start time and duration of a second wireless communication node;
- and
- transmitting at least one signal to the second wireless communication node during the determined wake up window, the at least one signal comprising at least one synchronization sequence,
- wherein the at least one synchronization sequence is configured to enable the second wireless communication node to adjust its wake up window timing.
A method performed by a first wireless communication node, the method comprising:
- determining a wake up window start time and duration;
- and
- receiving at least a portion of at least one signal during the determined wake up window, wherein the at least one signal is transmitted by a second wireless communication node and comprises at least one synchronization sequence,
- wherein the at least one synchronization sequence is configured to enable the first wireless communication node to adjust its wake up window timing.
A first wireless communication node, comprising:
- a processor configured to determine a wake up window start time and duration of a second wireless communication node;
- and
- a transmitter coupled to the processor, wherein the processor controls the transmitter to transmit at least one signal to the second wireless communication node during the determined wake up window, the at least one signal comprising at least one synchronization sequence,
- wherein the at least one synchronization sequence is configured to enable the second wireless communication node to adjust its wake up window timing.
A first wireless communication node comprising:
- a processor configured to determine a wake up window start time and duration;
- and
- a receiver configured to wake up at the start time of the wake up window, and receive at least a portion of at least one signal during the determined wake up window, wherein the at least one signal is transmitted by a second wireless communication node and comprises at least one synchronization sequence,
- wherein the at least one synchronization sequence is configured to enable the first wireless communication node to adjust its wake up window timing.
