ADAPTIVE POWER SAVING AND LATENCY CONTROL MECHANISM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18373984 titled 'ADAPTIVE POWER SAVING AND LATENCY CONTROL MECHANISM
Simplified Explanation
The present invention provides a wireless communication method that includes the following steps:
- Controlling the electronic device to operate in an active mode and communicate with an access point.
- After a traffic between the electronic device and the access point ends, controlling the electronic device to operate in a first mode and transmitting a null frame to notify the access point that the electronic device enters a power saving mode.
- During the first mode, controlling the electronic device to leave the power saving mode and transmit at least one query signal to the access point to ask for data.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in various wireless communication devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and IoT devices. - It can be used in smart homes, smart cities, industrial automation, and other IoT applications.
Problems Solved: - Helps in reducing power consumption of electronic devices by efficiently managing their power modes. - Ensures seamless communication between electronic devices and access points while optimizing power usage.
Benefits: - Extended battery life for electronic devices. - Improved efficiency in wireless communication. - Enhanced user experience with faster data transmission.
Potential Commercial Applications: Optimizing Wireless Communication for Power Efficiency
Possible Prior Art: One possible prior art could be the IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless communication protocols, which also includes power saving mechanisms for devices.
Unanswered Questions: 1. How does this technology compare to existing power-saving methods in wireless communication devices? 2. Are there any specific industries or sectors that could benefit the most from this innovation?
