Abstract

A method and device receiving a WLAN signal in a receiver. The receiver comprises a receiving module and a controller module. The receiving module receives first data. The controller module coupled to the receiving module determines second data from the first data, and disables the receiving module if the second data does not correspond to identity information of the receiver.

Claims

1. A method for receiving data in a receiver, comprising:

receiving first data in a receiving module of the receiver;

determining second data from the first data; and

disabling the receiving module, if the second data does not correspond to identity information of the receiver.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising enabling the receiving module after a first period.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the second data is a recipient address, and the identity information is a receiver address.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the first period corresponds to Interframe Space.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the disabling step comprises disabling a clock signal in the receiving module.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the disabling step comprises resetting the receiving module.

7. A device for receiving data, comprising:

a receiving module, receiving first data;

a controller module coupled to the receiving module, determining second data from the first data, and disabling the receiving module if the second data does not correspond to identity information of the receiver.

8. The device of claim 7, wherein the controller module further enables the receiving module after a first period.

9. The device of claim 7, wherein the second data is a recipient address, and the identity information is a receiver address.

10. The device of claim 8, wherein the first period corresponds to Interframe Space.

11. The device of claim 7, wherein the controller module disabling the receiving module by disabling a clock signal in the receiving module.

12. The device of claim 7, wherein the controller module disabling the receiving module by resetting the receiving module.

13. A method for receiving data, comprising:

receiving first data in a receiving module of a receiver;

determining recipient address from the first data;

disabling the receiving module if the recipient address does not correspond to a receiver address of the receiver; and

enabling the receiving module after an Interframe Space associated period.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the disabling and enabling steps comprise:

disabling a clock signal in the receiving module; and

enabling the clock signal in the receiving module.

15. The method of claim 13, wherein the disabling step comprises resetting the receiving module.
