Abstract:
1. An apparatus to operate as an access point for a network comprising: one or more circuits operable to receive data from a first device for wireless transfer to a second device, in which the second device has a power-save mode to conserve power; the one or more circuits to compare a bit pattern of the data to one or more filtering patterns associated with the second device and to generate one or more values based on matching the data to the one or more filtering patterns, in which the one or more values to correspond to which of the one or more filtering patterns resulted in a match and in which the one or more values is set to an initial value prior to the comparison of the bit pattern to the one or more filtering patterns; wherein a bit value is changed from the initial value to indicate matching of the data to respective one or more filtering patterns; and the one or more circuits operable to wirelessly communicate the one or more values to the second device to wake the second device from the power-save mode based on comparison of the data to the one or more filtering patterns.
