Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in connection with improving interactions between various components within a wireless device to enable improved communications between wireless devices. In an example, a wireless device may include an application processor equipped to send first and second amounts of data to be buffered in a buffer associated with a controller, and cease communications with the controller after the second amount of data is sent. In an aspect, the ceasing of communications may include switching to a sleep mode. In an aspect, the amounts of data are larger than a threshold data size, and the buffer includes logically combined dedicated memories from SOCs for a plurality of access technologies controlled by the controller.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A station may be communicating with an access point during a first active communication period. The communication may be performed in a first power mode. The station may switch to a second power mode to transition to a sleep period. The station may determine, based on traffic indicator metric(s), whether to perform a speculative wakeup and switch to the first power mode at the end of the sleep period.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for reducing power consumption of wireless devices operating in a wireless network. In one embodiment, a first wireless device may operate in low-power mode and receive a BLUETOOTH low energy (BLE) message from a second wireless device. The first wireless device may leave the low-power mode and enter a normal operating mode based, at least in part, on the BLE message. In some embodiments, the BLE message may include informational elements that the first wireless device may use to determine whether to remain in or leave the low-power mode. In some other embodiments, the BLE message may be synchronized to a Wi-Fi message, such as a Wi-Fi beacon. In at least one embodiment, the first wireless device may stop scanning for wireless networks when in the low-power mode.
