    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for limiting wake requests from one device to one or more other devices. In one embodiment, the requests are from a peripheral processor to a host processor within an electronic device such as a mobile smartphone or tablet which has power consumption requirements or considerations associated therewith. In one implementation, the peripheral processor includes a wake-limiting procedure encoded in e.g., its software or firmware, the procedure mitigating or preventing continuous and/or overly repetitive “wake” requests from the peripheral processor.
