SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EFFICIENT WAKEUP FOR BEACON RECEPTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240015652 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EFFICIENT WAKEUP FOR BEACON RECEPTION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application discloses a system and method for efficient wake-up in a wireless communication device for receiving beacons without significantly affecting battery power and data throughput. The wireless device receives beacons from network elements such as access points. If beacons are not received as scheduled within defined intervals, the wireless device determines a pattern of beacon reception timings and uses a weighted score process to select the best possible reception timing pattern. This selected pattern is then used as the schedule for receiving beacons on an ongoing basis, thereby avoiding the need to stay awake at all times to receive misaligned beacons.
- The wireless device receives beacons from network elements like access points.
- If beacons are not received as scheduled, the device determines a pattern of beacon reception timings.
- A weighted score process is used to select the best reception timing pattern.
- The selected pattern is used as the schedule for receiving beacons going forward.
- This avoids the need to stay awake at all times to receive misaligned beacons.
Potential Applications
- Wireless communication devices
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
- Smart home devices
- Industrial automation systems
Problems Solved
- Inefficient wake-up in wireless communication devices
- Battery power drain due to continuous wake-up for misaligned beacons
- Reduced data throughput due to inefficient beacon reception
Benefits
- Efficient wake-up process for receiving beacons
- Reduced battery power consumption
- Improved data throughput in wireless communication devices
Original Abstract Submitted
according to an embodiment, a system and method is disclosed for efficient wake up in a wireless communication device for receiving beacons without significantly affecting the battery power and data throughput. wireless device receives beacons from network elements such as access points. if beacons are not received as scheduled within defined intervals, then the wireless device determines a pattern of beacon reception timings and uses a weighted score process to select the best possible reception timing pattern and uses it as the schedule for receiving beacons on going forward basis, thus avoiding staying awake at all time to receive misaligned beacons.
