Abstract
An approach is provided for providing sleep mode associated with a resource frame structure. A superframe that includes a plurality of frames that is partitioned into sub-frames is detected. A length of listening window (115) is determined based on the number of frames. A sleep window (117) is determined based on the superframe and the sleep window length specifies duration of an inactive mode of operation and the listening window (115) specifies duration of an active mode of operation.

28. A method comprising:
-
detecting a superframe that includes a plurality of frames, wherein each of the frames is partitioned into sub-frames; determining length of a listening window based on the number of frames; and determining length of a sleep window based on the superframe, wherein the sleep window length specifies duration of an inactive mode of operation, and the listening window specifies duration of an active mode of operation. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)

36. An apparatus comprising:
-
logic configured to detect a superframe that includes a plurality of frames, wherein each of the frames is partitioned into sub-frames, wherein the logic is further configured to determine length of a listening window based on the number of frames, and to determine length of a sleep window based on the superframe, wherein the sleep window length specifies duration of an inactive mode of operation, and the listening window specifies duration of an active mode of operation. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)
