Wireless communication system, mobile communication apparatus, and operating method thereof
First Claim
1. A wireless communication system, comprising:
- a control apparatus having a wireless communication coverage;
a first mobile communication apparatus being in a standby period compliant with a wireless communication protocol; and
a second mobile communication apparatus being in an active period compliant with the wireless communication protocol to establish a communication link with the control apparatus,wherein the first and second mobile communication apparatuses are within the wireless communication coverage of the control apparatus, the first mobile communication apparatus communicating through the second mobile communication apparatus with the control apparatus via a peer-to-peer (P2P) communication mechanism, andwherein lengths of standby periods of the first and second mobile communication apparatuses are adjusted by the control apparatus according to a distribution of active periods of the first and second mobile communication apparatuses.

Abstract
A wireless communication system is provided. The wireless communication system comprises a control apparatus, a first mobile communication apparatus and a second mobile communication apparatus. The first and second mobile communication apparatuses are within a wireless communication coverage of the control apparatus. The first mobile communication apparatus is in a standby period under an idle mode according to a wireless communication protocol; the second mobile communication apparatus is in an active period under the idle mode according to the wireless communication protocol and establishes a communication link with the control apparatus. The first mobile communication apparatus communicates with the control apparatus through the second mobile communication apparatus via a peer-to-peer (P2P) communication mechanism.
