1. A method for using a first extremely high frequency (EHF) communication unit, the method including:

  • entering the first EHF communication unit into a power savings state of operation after an extremely high frequency (EHF) communications link has been established with a second EHF communication unit, wherein when the first EHF communication unit is operating in the power saving mode, the method further including;

    power cycling EHF transceiver circuitry ON and OFF;

    monitoring whether any EHF signals are being received via the EHF transceiver circuitry when the EHF transceiver circuitry is ON; and

    determining if received EHF signals are indicative of one of a first pulse and a second pulse,wherein in determining that the received EHF signals are indicative of the first pulse, transitioning the first EHF communication unit to a first state; and

    wherein in determining that the received EHF signals are indicative of the second pulse, instructing the first EHF communication unit to continue operating in the power savings state of operation.
