METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING AND ENTERING POWER SAVING MODE IN A WIRELESS NETWORK
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for selecting a power saving mode of a wireless device, comprising:
- monitoring data traffic in the network;
determining, during periods of low overall data traffic, if a particular type of data traffic is observed during a predetermined duration; and
deciding whether to trigger entry a first low power state or a second low power state based on the determination.

Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure present methods and apparatus for selecting a power saving mode for a mobile station (MS) in a wireless network. The power saving mode may be selected based on the traffic that is observed at the MS in a predefined duration. Once low overall data traffic is observed, the device may enter a first low power state. If data traffic of a particular type (e.g., not for management or maintenance purposes) is not observed for a predetermined duration, the device may enter a second low power state (deeper than the first low power state).
