Abstract:
A WLAN device includes a processor implementing a MAC layer and a PHY layer which is coupled to a transceiver including a receive (Rx) chain and a transmit (Tx) chain that is coupled to an antenna. A preamble decode-based receive suspend algorithm has software stored in a memory that is implemented by the processor or by hardware including digital logic. The algorithm responsive to receiving a packet including a Physical Layer Convergence Protocol (PLCP) header, a MAC header, and data, is for analyzing a length field in the PLCP header to determine whether the packet is an undesignated packet and whether there is sufficient time remaining for implementing a turning off and then back on of an analog portion of the Rx chain to avoid missing a next packet. If the undesignated packet and sufficient time are present, the analog portion of the Rx chain is turned off.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n receiving, by at least one processor of a device, a packet, comprising a Physical Layer Convergence Protocol (PLCP) header; determining, by the at least one processor, whether the packet is an undesignated packet, based on a length field of the PLCP header of the packet; determining, by the at least one processor, whether time remaining for turning off and on an analog portion of a receive chain of the device is greater than a threshold, based on the length field of the PLCP header of the packet; and turning off the analog portion of the receive chain, in response to determining that the packet is an undesignated packet and that the time remaining for turning off and on the analog portion of the receive chain of the device is greater than the threshold.
