Filed:

Dec 18, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/718654

Inventors:

Jason A. Young - Sacramento CA, US
Arun Jayaraman - San Diego CA, US

Assignee:

QUALCOMM Incorporated - San Diego CA

International Classification:

H04W 52/02

US Classification:

370311

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and devices for saving power in wireless communications devices are described herein. In some aspects, an apparatus includes a memory unit configured to store wake-up information associated with a wake-up time duration for receiving a beacon signal, and includes a processor operationally coupled to the memory unit. The wake-up time duration identifies a time for the processor to wake-up before an expected arrival time of the next beacon signal. The processor may be configured to retrieve the wake-up information from the memory, and vary, over a period of time, the wake-up time duration based on the wake-up information.

International Classification:

H04W 52/02

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices are described for saving power in wireless communications. One aspect includes providing an indication of a sleep duration for transmission to a wireless node, communicating with the wireless node during a target wakeup time (TWT), wherein the communication comprises at least one of providing data for transmission to the wireless node or obtaining data received from the wireless node, and refraining from providing data for transmission to the wireless node for at least the indicated sleep duration based at least in part on timing of the communication. Another aspect includes receiving an indication of a sleep duration from a wireless node, communicating with the wireless node during a time slot of a TWT, and entering a sleep mode for the indicated sleep duration based at least in part on timing of the communication with the wireless node during the time slot of the TWT.
