Devices and methods for decreasing awake state durations in access terminals operating in a slotted idle mode

摘要: Access terminals are adapted to dynamically decrease awake state durations (and conversely increase sleep durations) when operating in a slotted idle mode. According one example, an access terminal can determine offset corresponding time difference between the beginning of preceding slot cycle and receipt first packet transmission. The store information determined offset, employ stored power on receiver circuit after subsequent by amount offset. Other aspects, embodiments, features also included.
