Abstract: A wireless data transceiver includes a media access controller (MAC) configured to receive an inbound data packet from an air interface and to buffer the inbound packet for transport to a host, and to receive an outbound data packet from elsewhere in the transceiver and to transfer the outbound packet to the air interface. The transceiver further includes a host interface configured to receive the inbound packet transported from the MAC and to transfer the inbound packet to the host, and to receive the outbound packet from the host for transfer to the MAC. The transceiver also includes transport controller circuitry configured to execute instructions to generate and transfer management packets. In addition, the wireless data transceiver includes hardware data transport circuitry for transporting the inbound packet from the MAC to the host interface, and for transporting the outbound packet from the host interface to the MAC, without executing instructions.

Abstract: A filter expression is received at a wireless device assembly of a communication device. While a host assembly of the communication device is in a sleep mode, the wireless device assembly receives a signal having packet data, and determines whether the packet data contains a data pattern indicated by the filter expression. If the packet data contains the data pattern, the wireless device assembly communicates a wakeup signal to the host assembly for changing the host assembly from the sleep mode to an active mode. If the packet data does not contain the data pattern, the wireless device assembly does not communicate the wakeup signal to the host assembly.

Abstract: In a method and apparatus for providing memory efficient filtering of a received broadcast signal, a wireless device assembly compares a filter expression to packet data in the broadcast signal to determine whether the packet data contains a particular bit pattern indicated by the filter expression. The wireless device assembly is able to perform such filtering with an associated host assembly in a sleep mode or with that host in an active mode. If the host assembly is in a sleep mode, and if the packet data contains the particular bit pattern indicated by the filter expression, the wireless device assembly communicates a wakeup signal to the host assembly for changing the host assembly from the sleep mode to an active mode. On the other hand, if the packet data does not contain the particular bit pattern indicated by the filter expression, the wireless device assembly does not communicate the wakeup signal to the host assembly.

Abstract translation: 在用于提供对所接收的广播信号的存储器有效滤波的方法和装置中，无线设备组件将滤波器表达式与广播信号中的分组数据进行比较，以确定分组数据是否包含由滤波器表达式指示的特定位模式。 无线设备组件能够以处于休眠模式的相关联的主机组件或者处于活动模式的主机来执行这样的过滤。 如果主机组件处于睡眠模式，并且如果分组数据包含由滤波器表达式指示的特定位模式，则无线设备组件将唤醒信号传送到主机组件，以将主机组件从睡眠模式改变为活动 模式。 另一方面，如果分组数据不包含由滤波器表达式指示的特定位模式，则无线设备组件不将唤醒信号传送到主机组件。

Abstract: A host assembly of a wireless device enters into a handshaking procedure with firmware of the wireless device to initiate entry into or exit from a host sleep mode. Before such entry or exit, the handshaking procedure may require the host assembly to send an initiation handshake signal to the firmware, and require the firmware to send a confirmation handshake signal back to the host assembly. Entry or exit may be delayed until after the confirmation signal is received. The confirmation signal may vary depending on the handshaking configuration and activation data, and the confirmation signal may vary depending on whether the wireless device is in a power save mode or not.
