Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A novel power conservation scheme is provided for conserving power in client terminals by using a proxy server. The client terminal, having a low-power communication interface and a high-power communication interface, may power down its high-power communication interface, to conserve power. Prior to shutting off its high-power communication interface, the client terminal may assign an access point to act as a proxy for the client terminal. The access point monitors the paging channels for the client terminal. If the access point detects a paging message for the client terminal, it forwards at least a portion of the paging message to the client terminal via a low-power communication interface. Upon receipt of the paging message from the access point via its low-power communication interface, the client terminal may power up its high-power communication interface and directly respond to the access terminal.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An access point device, comprising: a first communication interface for wirelessly communicating with a plurality of client terminals; a second communication interface for wirelessly communicating with a first client terminal of the plurality of client terminals, wherein the second communication interface is more power efficient than the first communication interface; a third communication interface for communicating with a network infrastructure, wherei…
