Abstract: The invention is directed to a wireless communication device that includes: a radio unit for performing wireless communications with at least one external device; at least one battery for supplying power to the wireless communication device; and at least one processing unit for controlling the radio unit, wherein the at least one processing unit, includes: host processing unit configured to control execution of one or more active state operations; and a secondary processing unit, coupled to the host processing unit and the radio unit, configured to control execution of one or more low-priority operations while the host processing unit is powered down, wherein the secondary processing unit is further configured to determine if an active-state operation is pending, and if it is determined that an active state operation is pending, to power up the host processing unit to control execution of the active state operation.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a wireless communication device that includes: a radio unit configured to provide two-way wireless communications; a host processing unit; and a sleep mode unit, coupled to the host processing unit and the radio unit, configured to control a sleep time of the host processing unit and the radio unit, wherein if the radio unit does not receive a signal from the access point that associates the wireless communication device with the access point, the sleep unit increases the sleep time of the host processing unit and the radio unit after each set of one or more failed attempts by the wireless communication device to associate with the access point.
