Method of controlling wakeup frequency in a wireless communication system

摘要

An access terminal supports both a longer wakeup period and a shorter wakeup period (lower frequency of wakeups and higher frequency of wakeups, respectively) where the time interval over which the short wakeup period is active is prescheduled or enabled based on needs. Thus, when paging of the access terminal is expected to occur within a known interval of time, the access terminal enters a standby mode and is awoken more frequently during that interval.
