ABSTRACT:
An access point in a wireless network may receive packets over a wired network. The access point may be provided with instructions from the host to determine when to awaken the host from a reduced power consumption state in response to the receipt of a packet. Thus, the access point can enforce wake packet filtering rules while the host is maintained in a reduced power consumption state. This may reduce the power consumption of the host by avoiding the unnecessary awakening of the host every time a packet of little importance arrives over the network.
