APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD OF SETTING AN IDLE TIMEOUT PERIOD FOR A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION LINK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240205828 titled 'APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD OF SETTING AN IDLE TIMEOUT PERIOD FOR A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION LINK
The patent application describes an apparatus that can monitor the network latency of a data stream between a wireless communication device and an endpoint, and adjust the idle timeout period of the wireless communication link based on this latency.
- The apparatus includes circuitry and logic to measure the end-to-end network latency of the data stream.
- It can then set an idle timeout period for the wireless communication link, allowing the device to switch from active mode to power save mode when the link is idle.
- The idle timeout period is determined based on the network latency, ensuring efficient power management of the wireless communication device.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in IoT devices to optimize power consumption based on network latency. - It can also be implemented in mobile devices to improve battery life by adjusting communication link settings.
Problems Solved: - Efficient power management of wireless communication devices. - Optimization of network latency for improved performance.
Benefits: - Extended battery life for wireless communication devices. - Enhanced network performance through adaptive idle timeout settings.
Commercial Applications: - This technology can be valuable for manufacturers of IoT devices and mobile devices looking to improve power efficiency and network performance.
Prior Art: - Researchers can explore existing patents related to power management in wireless communication devices and network latency optimization.
Frequently Updated Research: - Stay updated on advancements in power management techniques for wireless communication devices and network latency optimization.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does adjusting the idle timeout period based on network latency improve power management? 2. What are the potential drawbacks of constantly monitoring and adjusting the idle timeout period in wireless communication devices?
Original Abstract Submitted
for example, an apparatus may include circuitry and logic configured to cause a wireless communication device to identify an end-to-end network latency of a data stream communicated between the wireless communication device and an endpoint via a wireless communication link between the wireless communication device and an access point (ap); and to set an idle timeout period for the wireless communication link based on the end-to-end network latency of the data stream. for example, the idle timeout period includes a time period after which the wireless communication device is to be allowed to switch the wireless communication link from an active mode to a power save mode when the wireless communication link is idle.
