Mobile communication device with low power signal detector

摘要

Various embodiments of the present disclosure include a communication device having first circuitry and second circuitry. The first circuitry is capable of operating in a plurality of modes. The second circuitry is capable of determining whether to transition operation of the first circuitry from a sleep mode to a non-sleep mode based at least in part on whether a non-informational characteristic of a received communication signal matches a non-informational characteristic of a particular one of a plurality of communication protocols.

主权项

1. A communication device, comprising:
circuitry configured to
communicate according to each of a plurality of communication protocols, each communication protocol being associated with a plurality of non-informational characteristics;operate in a plurality of modes, the plurality of modes including a sleep mode and an active mode, wherein, when in the active mode, a received communication signal is processed to determine information being communicated by the received communication signal; anddetermine whether to transition operation from the sleep mode to the active mode based at least in part on whether at least one non-informational characteristic of the received communication signal matches at least one of the non-informational characteristic of a particular one of the communication protocols.
