Patent attributes
For example, a wireless communication receiver may be configured to switch one or more RF components of the receiver between an on-state and an off-state based on at least one detection criterion for preamble detection of a frame preamble by a preamble detector of the receiver, switching the one or more RF components between the on-state and the off-state including switching the one or more RF components from the on-state to the off-state based on determination that the at least one detection criterion is not met, and switching the one or more RF components from the off-state to the on-state after an off-state period, wherein a duration of the off-state period is based at least on a preamble duration of the frame preamble; and to repeat switching the one or more RF components between the on-state and the off-state until the frame preamble is detected by the preamble detector.
