MULTIPLE CONNECTION WIRELESS INTERFACE ARRANGEMENT AND APPROACH THEREFOR

摘要

Wireless devices are implemented using a variety of arrangements and methods. One such method includes maintaining active connection status on multiple wireless networks using a PHY. The method comprising establishing a connection between a wireless device and a first wireless network using the PHY and a first instantiation of a media access control layer (MAC); providing an indication of a power-save mode to the first wireless network; establishing a connection between the wireless device and a second wireless network using the PHY and a second instantiation of a MAC; providing an indication of a power-save mode to the second wireless network; monitoring the first wireless network and the second wireless network for data transmissions to the wireless device; and responding to the data transmission to the wireless device thereby maintaining an active connection status on both wireless networks simultaneously.
