Abstract

A method for operating an access control comprises creating a plurality of wake-up schedules for each of one or more wireless transceivers. Each of the plurality of wake-up schedules may be configured to control how frequently a particular wireless transceiver wakes up to transmit or receive information. Each of the plurality of wake-up schedules for the particular wireless transceiver may be different from another one or the plurality of wake-up schedules for the particular wireless transceiver. The method may further comprise automatically switching between the plurality of wake-up schedules for the particular wireless transceiver such that a duration of time between wake-ups for the particular wireless transceiver radio is shorter during some predefined times and longer during other predefined times. The duration of time between wake-ups for each of the one or more of the wireless transceivers may be configurable by an administrative user via an interface.
