Mixed-mode wireless device operation

摘要

Systems and methods to operate wireless devices are provided herein. In an exemplary system a first wireless device coupled to a consumer electronics device is operated in a sleep mode. It is determined whether there is a second device is operating in the same bandwidth spectrum as the first device. If there is a second device operating in the same bandwidth spectrum, then the first device is switched to a sniff mode of operation.

主权项

1. A host device, comprising:
a memory; a radio frequency (RF) transceiver configured to transmit and receive data to and from one or more wireless devices that are associated with the host device; and a processor that manages an operating state of a first wireless device using the RF transceiver based on instructions stored in the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
determine if the one or more wireless devices includes a second wireless device communicating with the host device over a same bandwidth spectrum as that used by the first wireless device;cause the first wireless device to operate in a sniff mode if there is a second wireless device communicating with the host device over the same bandwidth spectrum as that used by the first wireless device; andcause the first wireless device to operate in a sleep mode if there is not a second wireless device communicating with the host device over the same bandwidth spectrum as that used by the first wireless device.
