ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SUPPORTING TARGET WAKE TIME MODE OR POWER SAVING MODE AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18339977 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SUPPORTING TARGET WAKE TIME MODE OR POWER SAVING MODE AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The disclosed electronic device includes a communication circuit and a processor. The communication circuit is responsible for transmitting or receiving data over a link set up between an external electronic device and the electronic device itself. The processor is configured to identify time intervals between packets transmitted or received over the link and determine the ratio of time intervals that are equal to or less than a designated value. Based on this analysis, the processor selects either a target wake time (TWT) mode or a power-saving mode. In the TWT mode, the communication circuit is switched to an active state every designated time. In the power-saving mode, the communication circuit is switched to an inactive state if no packets are transmitted or received during a designated time. The communication circuit is controlled according to the selected mode.

  • The electronic device has a communication circuit and a processor.
  • The communication circuit is used to transmit or receive data over a link between the device and an external device.
  • The processor identifies time intervals between transmitted or received packets.
  • The processor determines the ratio of time intervals that are equal to or less than a designated value.
  • Based on the analysis, the processor selects either a target wake time (TWT) mode or a power-saving mode.
  • In the TWT mode, the communication circuit is active every designated time.
  • In the power-saving mode, the communication circuit is inactive if no packets are transmitted or received during a designated time.
  • The communication circuit is controlled according to the selected mode.

Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed is an electronic device includes: a communication circuit configured to transmit or receive data over at least one link set up between an external electronic device and the electronic device; and a processor configured to: identify time intervals between packets that are transmitted or received over the at least one link; identify a ratio of time intervals that are equal to or less than a designated value among the time intervals; select a target wake time (TWT) mode or a power saving mode, wherein in the TWT mode the communication circuit is switched to an active state every designated time and wherein in the power saving mode the communication circuit is switched to an inactive state in case that the packet is not transmitted or received during a designated time; and control the communication circuit on the basis of the selected mode.
