DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ADAPTIVE POWER CONSERVATION BASED ON TRAFFIC PROFILES

摘要

A system and method for conserving power for wireless communications. Packet communication information to and from a wireless device is determined. A traffic profile is selected from a light traffic profile, a periodic traffic profile, and a heavy traffic profile in response to the determined packet communication information. Packets are communicated with a wireless access point utilizing a power mode determined in response to the selected traffic profile. The power mode is utilised by the wireless device independent of the wireless access point.
