Patent ID: 8861383

Claim:
An apparatus, comprising: a wireless transceiver; control logic communicatively coupled with the wireless transceiver, the control logic being configured to communicate with a plurality of associated wireless devices via the wireless transceiver; wherein the control logic is configured to establish a communication link with a first associated wireless device; wherein the control logic is configured to receive coordinated schedule data representative of a scheduled transmission time of transmission of one or more wireless signals by a second associated wireless device, wherein the first and second associated wireless devices coordinate a transmission schedule comprising the scheduled transmission time; wherein the control logic is configured to selectively transition the apparatus between a power save mode and an active mode, wherein the apparatus in the power save mode is unable to receive selected wireless signals and wherein in the active mode the apparatus is able to receive the selected wireless signals; wherein the control logic transitions the apparatus to the active mode in accordance with the received coordinated schedule data of the second associated wireless device; wherein, in the active mode, the wireless transceiver receives a signal from the second associated wireless device at the scheduled transmission time wherein the control logic is configured to determine whether a selected packet contained in the signal received from the second associated wireless device is a predetermined packet; wherein the control logic is configured to determine, responsive to determining the selected packet contained in the signal received from the second associated wireless device is the predetermined packet, a parameter of the signal received via the wireless transceiver from a second wireless device; and wherein the control logic is configured to send data representative of the parameter to the first wireless device via the wireless transceiver.
