Abstract
A method of conserving a battery-powered electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device is wirelessly communicable with an access point over a wireless local area network. Also disclosed are an electronic device and a system for performing the method. The method includes causing a first control architecture to be in an idle state; while the first control architecture is in an idle state and with a second control architecture, receiving a beacon frame from the access point, the beacon frame including electronic device association information, checking the beacon frame if the electronic device is associated with the access point, and providing a wakeup signal to the first control architecture when the electronic device is dissociated. The method further includes communicating from the second control architecture to the first control architecture that the electronic device was dissociated from the access point.
