Abstract
Aspects described herein relate to instructing, from a layer of a modem processor, a host processor to utilize an increased power consumption state for processing data from a network node. The instructing can be performed based on transmitting a signal to the network node and/or receiving signals from the network node, and at a time that allows the host processor to wake up before receiving data from the modem processor for processing.

1-20. (canceled)
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving a control signal from a network node, wherein the control signal comprises a control channel indicating resources for receiving a corresponding data signal and one or more properties of the corresponding data signal;
- receiving the corresponding data signal on the indicated resources;
- instructing, from a layer of a modem processor and based at least on the one or more properties of the corresponding data signal, a host processor to utilize an increased power consumption state for processing data from the corresponding data signal received from the network node at a time before the modem processor completes processing of the corresponding data signal;
- and
- sending, subsequent to and based on instructing the host processor to utilize the increased power consumption state, the data received in the corresponding data signal from the network node to the host processor.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a transceiver;
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor communicatively coupled with the transceiver and the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- receive a control signal from a network node, wherein the control signal comprises a control channel indicating resources for receiving a corresponding data signal and one or more properties of the corresponding data signal;
- receive the corresponding data signal on the indicated resources;
- instruct, from a layer of a modem processor and based at least on the one or more properties of the corresponding data signal, a host processor to utilize an increased power consumption state for processing data from the corresponding data signal received from the network node at a time before the modem processor completes processing of the corresponding data signal;
- and
- send, subsequent to and based on instructing the host processor to utilize the increased power consumption state, the data received in the corresponding data signal from the network node to the host processor.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- means for receiving a control signal from a network node, wherein the control signal comprises a control channel indicating resources for receiving a corresponding data signal and one or more properties of the corresponding data signal;
- means for receiving the corresponding data signal on the indicated resources;
- means for instructing, from a layer of a modem processor and based at least on the one or more properties of the corresponding data signal, a host processor to utilize an increased power consumption state for processing data from the corresponding data signal received from the network node at a time before the modem processor completes processing of the corresponding data signal;
- and
- means for sending, subsequent to and based on instructing the host processor to utilize the increased power consumption state, the data received in the corresponding data signal from the network node to the host processor.
