Abstract: A method (300) and system (200) for adding a connection identifier to an existing power saving class. The method can include the steps of—at a mobile unit (212) that is associated with at least one existing power saving class—generating (310) a type-length-value that specifies the identification of the existing power saving class, and integrating (312) the type-length-value into a dynamic service message request. The method can also include the step of transmitting (314) the dynamic service message request to a base station (210) such that the connection identifier will be automatically added to the existing power saving class without requiring deactivation or redefinition of the existing power saving class.

Abstract: A mobile terminal (302, 304) wakes up from a low power state and initiates a frame exchange in a wireless local area network that supports voice traffic by transmitting a polling frame (602). If the mobile terminal had voice data to send, it is included in the polling frame. In response to receiving the polling frame, the access point transmits a delay frame (604) to acknowledge receipt of the polling frame. If the access point has data for the polling mobile terminal, it transmits a non-delay frame (606) including the voice data, otherwise it transmits a null frame (702). The mobile terminal acknowledges the data from the access point (608), and goes back to sleep until the beginning of the next service interval.

Abstract translation: 移动终端（302,304）从低功率状态唤醒，并通过发送轮询帧（602）在支持话音业务的无线局域网中发起帧交换。 如果移动终端具有要发送的语音数据，则它被包括在轮询帧中。 响应于接收到轮询帧，接入点发送延迟帧（604）以确认轮询帧的接收。 如果接入点具有轮询移动终端的数据，则它发送包括语音数据的非延迟帧（606），否则发送空帧（702）。 移动终端从接入点（608）确认数据，并返回睡眠直到下一个服务间隔的开始。

Abstract: The invention concerns a method (200) and system (100) for consolidating PSCs. In particular, in a mixed media environment having a plurality of application connections associated with different PSCs, the method can include the steps of identifying (210) a primary application connection, defining (210) a consolidated PSC based on a demand property of the primary application connection and consolidating (212) at least some of the remaining application connections with the consolidated PSC. As such, the consolidated PSC may be associated with multiple application connections. The method can also include the steps of deactivating (218) the consolidated PSC when a deactivation indicator is received and reactivating (224) the consolidated PSC when a reactivation indicator is received.

Abstract: A communication unit (10) can have at least a first receiver (11) and a second receiver (12). The latter typically consumes more power than the former during ordinary operation. Pursuant to one embodiment a communication unit can use the lower-power receiver to detect energy on a monitored channel while the second receiver is retained in a reduced power mode of operation. Upon detecting an absence of channel activity the second receiver can be restored to normal operability to effect such activities as are then presently required.

Abstract translation: 通信单元（10）可以具有至少第一接收机（11）和第二接收机（12）。 后者通常在正常操作中消耗比前者更多的功率。 根据一个实施例，通信单元可以使用较低功率的接收机来检测所监视的信道上的能量，而第二接收机被保持在降低功率的操作模式中。 在检测到不存在信道活动时，可以将第二接收机恢复到正常的可操作性，以实现当前所需的活动。

Abstract: A mobile communication device (102) includes both a wide area network (WAN) radio modem (122), and a personal area network (PAN) radio modem (134), which operate on similar frequencies. When the both the WAN and PAN modems are operating and carrying time-sensitive data, the WAN modem disables transmission by the PAN modem when the WAN modem is due to receive data from a WAN base station (406), including neighbor scans. The duration and frequency of disabling the PAN modem is controlled so that the retransmission is successful.

Abstract translation: 移动通信设备（102）包括在类似频率上操作的广域网（WAN）无线电调制解调器（122）和个人区域网（PAN）无线电调制解调器（134）。 当WAN和PAN调制解调器都在操作并携带时间敏感数据时，当WAN调制解调器由于接收到来自WAN基站（406）的数据（406）（包括邻近扫描）时，WAN调制解调器禁用PAN调制解调器的传输。 禁止PAN调制解调器的持续时间和频率被控制，使得重传成功。

Abstract: An access point utilizes information (11) as provided by various subscriber units to provide a message (12) (as included with, for example, a beacon transmission) that reflects near term likely utilization of a shared communication resource. A subscriber unit (20) can then utilize that information to schedule its own monitoring activity. This, in turn, permits the subscriber unit to similarly schedule power saving activities to accommodate this reception schedule.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method (200) and system (100) for improving the efficiency of a mobile station (112) during a listening interval (310). The method can include the step of setting (212) a paging message indicator (414) or a neighbor advertisement message indicator (416) in which the paging message indicator indicates whether a paging message (314) is the last paging message designated for the mobile station in the listening interval and the neighbor advertisement message indicator indicates the presence of a neighbor advertisement message (316). The method can also include the step of transmitting (214) the paging message indicator or the neighbor advertisement message indicator to the mobile station. Based on these indicators, the mobile station can selectively enter a sleep state during and/or after the listening interval to conserve battery life.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method (200) and system (100) for coordinating a sleep mode wake-up time. The method can include the steps of entering (214) a sleep mode and selecting (214) a paging group, advising (216) a base station (110) of the sleep mode and the selection of the paging group and coordinating (218) a wake-up time of the sleep mode with a second power saving mode that includes a common availability time (312) for mobile stations (116) communicating with the base station to detect signals from the base station. As an example, the second power saving mode (300) can be an idle mode, and the common availability time can be a listening interval of the idle mode.
