Patent ID: 7885210

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a first radio to communicate with a first wireless network via frames, wherein the frames include headers, downlink sub-frames, and uplink sub-frames, wherein the preambles are to include maps from the first wireless network that define portions of the downlink sub-frames where data is to be received from the first wireless network and portions of the uplink sub-frames where data is to be transmitted to the first wireless network, wherein the first radio is to be active during the preambles, the downlink sub-frames if the defined portions of the downlink sub-frames have not yet been parsed from the associated maps, the defined portions of the downlink sub-frames if the defined portions of the downlink sub-frames have been parsed from the associated maps, and the defined portions of the uplink sub-frames, wherein the first radio is to be inactive otherwise, and wherein each map is to define a portion of an associated downlink sub-frame having an earliest possible location such that the map can be parsed within the time it would take to get to the earliest possible location so that the first radio can be inactive for all but the defined portion of the associated downlink sub-frame; and a second radio to communicate with a second wireless network, wherein the second radio is active when the first radio is inactive.
