POWER MANAGEMENT OF COMMUNICATION DEVICES
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for reducing power consumption in a communication device, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the communication device, at least a portion of a packet;
determining a subset of components of the communication device for which to reduce power based, at least in part, on a length of the packet; and
reducing the power to the subset of the components for a time period based, at least in part, on the length of the packet.

Abstract
A communication device receives at least a portion of a packet. Power is reduced to a subset of components of a communication device. The subset of components for which power is reduced is determined based, at least in part, on a length of the packet. The power is reduced for a time period based, at least in part, on the length of the packet.

14. A communication device comprising:
-
a network interface having components including a radio receiver unit, a radio transmission unit, and a synthesizer, wherein the radio receiver unit is configured to receive at least a portion of a packet; and a processor communicatively coupled to the network interface, the processor configured to execute instructions to cause the communication device to; determine a subset of the components for which to reduce power based, at least in part, on a length of the packet; and reduce the power to the subset of the components for a time period based, at least in part, on the length of the packet. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored therein which, when executed by a processor of a communication device, cause the communication device to:
-
receive at least a portion of a packet; determine a subset of components of the communication device for which to reduce power based, at least in part, on a length of the packet; and reduce the power to the subset of the components for a time period based, at least in part, on the length of the packet. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A system for reducing power consumption in a communication device, the system comprising:
-
means for receiving, by the communication device, at least a portion of a packet; means for determining a subset of components of the communication device for which to reduce power based, at least in part, on a length of the packet; and means for reducing the power to the subset of the components for a time period based, at least in part, on the length of the packet. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32)
