METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR WAKING DEVICE FROM POWER SAVE MODE
First Claim
1. A method for switching a second device from a power save mode to an active mode by a first device, the method comprising:
- transmitting, by the first device, a magic packet through a predetermined channel to the second device, which operates in the power save mode by repeating a doze state and an awake state periodically according to a predetermined period of time, for notifying the second device to switch to the active mode; and
retransmitting the magic packet to the second device through the predetermined channel if a response to the magic packet has not been received from the second device and a predetermined time has not elapsed after transmitting the magic packet through the predetermined channel.

Abstract
A method for waking a device from a power save mode to an active mode includes: transmitting, by a first device, a magic packet through a predetermined channel to a second device, which operates in the power save mode by repeating a doze state and an awake state according to a predetermined period of time, for notifying the second device to switch to the active mode; and retransmitting the magic packet to the second device through the predetermined channel if a response to the magic packet has not been received from the second device and a predetermined time has not elapsed after transmitting the magic packet through the predetermined channel.

15. A method for switching a second device from a power save mode to an active mode by a first device, the method comprising:
-
performing synchronization by forming a Peer to Peer (P2P) group with the second device; and transmitting, by the first device, a magic packet notifying the second device to switch to the active mode when the second device operating in the power save mode by repeating a doze state and an awake state is in the awake state, based on the synchronization. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 34)

20. A method for switching from a power save mode to an active mode by a second device communicating with a first device, the method comprising:
-
receiving, from the first device, a magic packet for notifying the second device to switch to the active mode when the second device operating in the power save mode by repeating a doze state and an awake state is in the awake state; and switching to the active mode upon receiving the magic packet. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 35)

27. An apparatus for switching a peer device from a power save mode to an active mode, the apparatus comprising:
-
a transmitter for transmitting through a predetermined channel a magic packet for notifying the peer device, which operates in the power save mode by repeating a doze state and an awake state periodically according to a predetermined period of time to switch to the active mode; and a receiver for receiving a response to the magic packet from the peer device, wherein the transmitter retransmits the magic packet to the peer device through the predetermined channel if a response to the magic packet has not been received from the peer device and a predetermined time has not elapsed after transmitting the magic packet through the predetermined channel.
