Abstract:
1. A method for controlling a gain state of a wireless receiver, the method comprising: causing the wireless receiver to enter into a sleep mode; causing the wireless receiver to exit from the sleep mode and enter into a wake-up period; providing, via a multiplexer, a stored gain control state value to the wireless receiver for use during a warm-up period of the wake-up period, the stored gain control state value being previously read from a gain controller during a previous wake-up period of the wireless receiver; and after the warm-up period of the wake up period, providing, via the multiplexer, a continuously variable gain control state value from the gain controller to the wireless receiver for use during the wake up period, the continuously variable gain control state value being based on a signal level of a currently-received signal in the wireless receiver.
