METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REDUCING BATTERY CONSUMPTION IN WIRELESS TRANSMIT/RECEIVE UNITS (WTRUS) EMPLOYED IN A WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK/WIRELESS WIDE AREA NETWORK (WLAN/WWAN)

摘要

Method and system for reducing battery consumption during an active session wherein an access point (AP) transmits a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) a packet information regarding packets in a queue waiting for transmission to the WTRU and when the packets are to be decoded, whereby enabling the WTRU to enter or remain in an OFF mode in accordance with the packet information. The AP does not send the packets to the WTRU until the AP informs the WTRU about the packet.
