Abstract
A method of wireless communication comprising decoding in a physical layer circuitry a received wireless signal; outputting a corresponding wireless signal data as one or more data packets, the wireless signal data representing the received wireless signal; determining one or more packet header parameters of the one or more data packets; and if any of the one or more packet header parameters equal any of one or more predetermined values, instruct a medium access control layer circuitry to switch from an inactive mode to an active mode.
Claims20
A wireless communication device comprising:
- one or more processors configured to implement
- a physical layer circuitry, configured to decode a received wireless signal and to output corresponding wireless signal data as one or more data packets, the wireless signal data representing the received wireless signal;
- and
- a medium access control layer circuitry, configured to operate according to at least an inactive mode or an active mode, wherein the inactive mode is a standby mode or a sleep mode, and wherein operating according to the active mode comprises receiving the wireless signal data from the physical layer circuitry and processing the wireless signal data according to one or more predefined medium access control layer routines;
- wherein the physical layer circuitry is configured to determine one or more packet header parameters of the one or more data packets;
- and
- if any of the one or more packet header parameters equal any of one or more predetermined values, instruct the medium access control layer circuitry to switch from the inactive mode to the active mode.
A non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising instructions, which, if executed, cause one or more processors implementing a physical layer circuitry to:
- decode a received wireless signal and to output corresponding wireless signal data as one or more data packets, the wireless signal data representing the received wireless signal;
- determine one or more packet header parameters of the one or more data packets;
- and
- if any of the one or more packet header parameters equal any of one or more predetermined values, instruct a medium access control layer circuitry to switch from an inactive mode to an active mode.
