Abstract
A Wi-Fi chip is configured to operate in a power saving Wi-Fi mode in which the Wi-Fi chip repeatedly checks, at a first time interval, periodic DTIM beacons transmitted at a second time interval by a wireless access point of a Wi-Fi network, wherein the first time interval is longer than the second time interval. Upon receiving a standby message, the Wi-Fi chip, during a predefined time duration, operates in a standby mode in which the Wi-Fi chip checks at a third time interval periodic DTIM beacons transmitted by the wireless access point, wherein the third time interval is shorter than the first time interval.
