Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A device and method are disclosed for reducing the power consumption of a wireless radio device in establishing a wireless connection by predicting a probability of a positive correlation. The wireless radio device may power up a radio receiver of a connectable device to receive a portion of a sync word from a requesting device, determine a correlation value based on the received portion of the sync word and an expected sync word and if the correlation value is less than a threshold value, power down the radio receiver of the connectable device. Additionally, if the correlation value is greater than a threshold value, the entire sync word may be received from the requesting device and a correlation value may be determined based on the entire sync word and the expected sync word.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for predicting a correlation, the method comprising: receiving, at a receiver, a portion of a sync word from a requesting device; determining a first correlation value based, at least in part, on the received portion of the sync word and a portion of an expected sync word, wherein the sync word is for correlating with the expected sync word; in response to determining that the first correlation value does not exceed a threshold value, powe…
