Abstract:
A method of operating a communication device comprises providing the communication device (T, T 1 -T 5 ) with a first interface (I 1 ) to connect to a first network (N 1 ), which provides a first bandwidth and a first network idle power consumption at the communication device (T, T 1 -T 5 ) when being connected to the first network (N 1 ) and providing the communication device (T, T 1 -T 5 ) with a second interface (I 2 ) to connect to a second wireless network (N 2 ), which provides a second bandwidth, which is smaller than the first bandwidth, and a second network idle power, consumption, which is smaller than the first idle power consumption, at the communication device (T, T 1 -T 5 ), when being connected to the second wireless network (N 2 ).

Claim (Index 28):
A communication apparatus comprising:\n a first communication device having hardware comprising non-transitory memory and a processor, the first communication device also comprising:\n a first interface configured to connect the first communication device to a first network that provides a first bandwidth and a first network idle power consumption at the first communication device when the first communication device is connected to the first network via the first interface; \n a second interface configured to connect the first communication device to a second network that provides a second bandwidth that is smaller than the first bandwidth and a second network idle power consumption that is smaller than the first idle power consumption at the first communication device when the first communication device is connected to the second network via the second interface; \n a controller unit configured to control the first interface and the second interface, the controller unit configured to control the first and second interfaces such that the first communication device is switchable between an active mode in which the first communication device is connected to the first network via the first interface and an idle mode in which the first communication device is connected to the second network via the second interface and is not connected to the first network via the first interface; \n the controller unit configured to control the first and second interfaces such that:\n the first communication device is configured to establish a first communication link with the first network over the first interface when in the active mode, the first communication link configured so that payload data is transmittable between the first communication device and first network via the first interface, and \n the first communication device is switched from the active mode to the idle mode such that the first communication link is disconnected and a second communication link is established between the first communication device and the second network via the second interface so that signaling is providable via the second communication link; \n \n the first communication device configured to exchange a signaling message and to receive a power control instruction from a second communication device connected to the second network when in the idle mode such that the first communication device is switchable from the idle mode to the active mode in response to a request to wake the first communication device received via the second communication link; and \n the first communication device configured to discover at least one third communication device that was disconnected from the first network and is connected to the second network to inform the first network of the at least one third communication device via the first interface when in the active mode and being configured to operate as a router when in the active mode to route information from the first network over the second interface to the at least one third communication device so that the at least one third communication device is linked to the first network via the second interface of the first communication device.
