Abstract:
A method of modem power conservation used in a data communications system having an infrastructure (101), and a modem (103), the modem registered with the infrastructure and adapted to provide data communications between a host terminal (105) and the infrastructure (101), the method including the steps of receiving, at the modem (103), a message, determining that the message is not deliverable to the host terminal (105), and responsive thereto entering, at the modem (103) a power conservation mode. An alternative method directed to the same purposes includes the steps of entering, at the modem (103), a power conservation mode after a first predetermined time has lapsed without message activity, then exiting the power conservation mode after a second predetermined time has lapsed, and finally registering with the infrastructure (101).

A method of modem power conservation used in a data communications system having an infrastructure (101), and a modem (103), the modem registered with the infrastructure and adapted to provide data communications between a host terminal (105) and the infrastructure (101), the method including the steps of: receiving, at the modem (103), a message: determining that the message is not deliverable to the host terminal (105): and responsive thereto entering, at the modem (103), a power conservation mode. An alternative method directed to the same purposes includes the steps of: entering, at the modem (103), a power conservation mode after a first predetermined time has lapsed without message activity: exiting the power conservation mode after a second predetermined time has lapsed: and finally registering with the infrastructure (101).
Abstract:
A data demodulation logic unit (200) and method used therein, adaptable to multiple data protocols, including an arithmetic logic unit (205) that is architecturally optimized to demodulate multiple data protocols under the control of a hardware based state machine (209) that operates in a selectable mode that corresponds to one of multiple data protocols.
