METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING POWER SAVING USING SUPERFRAMES

摘要

An approach is provided for providing sleep mode associated with a resource frame structure. A superframe that includes a plurality of frames that is partitioned into sub-frames is detected. A length of listening window (115) is determined based on the number of frames. A sleep window (117) is determined based on the superframe and the sleep window length specifies duration of an inactive mode of operation and the listening window (115) specifies duration of an active mode of operation.
