Abstract
The present invention is directed to managing power consumption in a wireless frequency hopping communication among a plurality of nodes. For example, the present invention is directed to features such as reducing power consumption of an individual node within a wireless communication system by powering on the transmitter/receiver of the node only when actual transmission/reception is required.
