SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING POWER CONSUMPTION

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed for operating an interface of an electronic device in an active mode or a power save mode based, at least in part, on a condition of a data exchange module buffer. When buffer space is available, incoming data may be stored locally and the interface used to access remote memory storage may be in a power save mode. The interface may revert to active mode to transfer data to the remote memory, such as after a configurable reception interval. Outgoing data may also be stored in a buffer, allowing the interface to be in a power save mode with information transmitted from the buffer.

主权项

1. A wireless communications device, comprising:
a transceiver; an interface; a local memory available to the transceiver, wherein the local memory is not communicably coupled to the transceiver through the interface; a remote memory communicably coupled to the transceiver through the interface; a buffer implemented in the local memory; and a link manager,wherein the link manager is configured to operate the interface in at least an active mode and a power save mode based, at least in part, on a condition of the buffer and a state of the transceiver.
