A power saving device using a proxy client in the wireless terminal
It provides a novel power saving solution for the client terminal to save power by using a proxy server. The client terminal may have a communication interface, and a secondary access point for a wireless network and short range communication is a primary communication interface to communicate remotely. To save power, the client terminal may reduce the power of its primary communication interface without informing the access point. Assume that the master access point communication interface is still active. Before closing its primary communication interface, the client terminal may be assigned foreign agent apparatus as a proxy, and to monitor its data channel with the access point. A proxy device over a data channel to monitor the client terminal of the primary communication interface. If the proxy device detects that the data message for the client terminal, the proxy device is forwarded to the client terminal via a secondary communication interface to the data message.
