WIFI DELEGATING WIFI NETWORK DISCOVERY AND TRAFFIC MONITORING

摘要

There is provided a wireless device configured to delegate its communication and traffic monitoring tasks to a paired device if the wireless transceiver of the wireless device is found to be in an idle state. The wireless device includes two wireless transceivers, the first wireless transceiver for communicating with the wireless access point and the second low power wireless transceiver for communicating with the paired device. If the wireless device determines that the first wireless transceiver is in the idle state, it drops the first wireless transceiver into the sleep mode and, if not in the sleep mode, sends the communication and traffic monitoring tasks that were performed by the first wireless transceiver to the second wireless transceiver Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 paired / RTI
