Wireless communications system having reduced noise mode operation capability

A wireless communication system comprising:

• a terminal system;
• a radio system operably coupled to the terminal system;
• and a noise management system coupled to the terminal system and the radio system;
• said noise management system selectively altering normal processing functions of the terminal system during reduced noise operation to reduce generated background noise during a wireless receipt by the radio system;
• said terminal system receiving information that a wireless transmission is to be expected at a given time, and at the given time when the wireless transmission is expected said noise management system placing the terminal system in the reduced noise operation to reduce generated background noise during the wireless receipt by the radio system;
• and upon receipt of a wireless transmission, the terminal system exiting the reduced noise operation and commencing normal processing functions.

A plural station wireless communication system comprising a terminal communication system comprising:

• a terminal system;
• a terminal radio system operably coupled to the terminal system;
• and a terminal noise management system coupled to the terminal system and the terminal radio system;
• said terminal noise management system selectively altering operation of the terminal system into a reduced noise operation to reduce generated background noise during a wireless receipt by the terminal radio system;
• a control communication system comprising a control system and a control radio system;
• the terminal communication system and the control communication system cooperatively scheduling data transfer wherein the terminal system is in the reduced noise operation to reduce generated background noise during the wireless receipt by the terminal radio system;
• the terminal system exiting the reduced noise operation and resuming normal processing upon completion of the data transfer.
