SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION OF UNCOMPRESSED VIDEO HAVING POWER SAVING CAPABILITY
First Claim
1. A method of efficient scheduling for one or more portable devices communicating with a coordinator over a network, the method comprising:
- listening for a series of scheduled beacons broadcasted by a coordinator;
assigning, by the coordinator, a single contiguous time block (CTB) for one or more portable devices during a superframe defined by first and second consecutive beacons;
scheduling a single wake period for one of the one or more portable devices, which overlaps inclusively with one of the first and second consecutive beacons and the single CTB; and
minimizing duration of the single wake period for the one of the one or more portable devices.

Abstract
A method of efficient scheduling for portable devices communicating with a coordinator over a network is disclosed. The method includes: listening for beacons broadcasted by a coordinator; assigning, by the coordinator, a single contiguous time block (CTB) for portable devices during a superframe defined by consecutive beacons; scheduling a single wake period of one of the portable devices, which overlaps inclusively with consecutive beacons and the single CTB; and minimizing duration of the single wake period of the portable device. The single CTB may be arranged next to one of the consecutive beacons. The method may further comprise assigning, by the coordinator, a single random access time block (RATB) for the one of the portable devices so as to overlap with the single wake period. The RATB may be arranged next to one of consecutive beacons. The CTB may be arranged next to the RATB. The CTB may be arranged next to one of the consecutive beacons.

7. A system for efficient scheduling for portable devices communicating with a coordinator over a network, the system comprising:
-
a coordinator configured to broadcast a series of scheduled wake beacons and to assign a single contiguous time block (CTB) and a random access time block (RATB) for a superframe defined by first and second consecutive beacons, and a portable device configured to listen for the series of scheduled wake beacons from the coordinator, wake up during a wake period for the superframe, and communicate with the coordinator, wherein the wake period of the portable device overlaps with one of the first and second consecutive beacons, the single CTB, and the RATB, and wherein duration of the single wake period of the portable device is minimized. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)

11. A system for efficient scheduling for one or more portable devices communicating with a coordinator over a network, the system comprising:
-
means for listening for a series of scheduled beacons broadcasted by a coordinator; means for assigning, by the coordinator, a single contiguous time block (CTB) for one or more portable devices during a superframe defined by first and second consecutive beacons; means for scheduling a single wake period of one of the one or more portable devices, which overlaps inclusively with one of the first and second consecutive beacons and the single CTB; and means for minimizing duration of the single wake period of the one of the one or more portable devices. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method of efficient scheduling for one or more portable devices communicating with a coordinator over a network, the method comprising:
-
assigning, by the coordinator, a single contiguous time block (CTB) for one or more portable devices during a superframe defined by first and second consecutive beacons, and assigning next to the CTB, by the coordinator, a single random access time block (RATB) for the one of the one or more portable devices, wherein at least one of the single CTB and the single RATB is arranged immediately next to one of the first and second consecutive beacons.
