Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for reducing power consumption in a portable terminal that transmits digital broadcast data through an ad hoc network are provided. If a terminal receiving digital broadcast transmits the received digital broadcast to a neighboring terminal, a control unit enters a sleep mode after buffering received data for a predefined time.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for managing device discovery in a wireless system are provided. The method includes performing a periodic search operation to discover a peer device, stopping the periodic search operation upon discovering a suitable peer device, and switching to a periodic listening operation for allowing the Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) Peer-To-Peer (P2P) device to be discovered by the discovered peer device and for permitting a connection with the discovered peer device.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for Wi-Fi connection based on Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) in a portable terminal are provided. The method includes entering a group owner mode of Wi-Fi Direct when enabling of WPS is requested, after entering the group owner mode, entering a WPS session mode where the portable terminal is operable in a WPS registrar mode, determining whether an Access Point (AP) whose WPS session of the WPS registrar mode is enabled or a device whose group owner mode is enabled, exists nearby, and when an AP whose WPS registrar mode is enabled is discovered, disabling the WPS registrar mode and the group owner mode, enabling a WPS session where the portable terminal is to operate in a WPS enrollee mode, and accessing the discovered AP.
