ABSTRACT:
A method for conserving resources in a communication system includes entering an awake state from a sleep state at a first time, where the first time occurs a predetermined period prior to a communication event. The predetermined period is greater than or equal to a worst-case determination period for determining a timing offset relative to an access point. An initial timing offset relative to the access point is determined during the predetermined period. The sleep state is entered for a remainder of the predetermined period upon determination of the initial timing offset. The awake state is entered for the communication event. The timing offset relative to the access point is determined based at least in part on the initial timing offset.
