Abstract
A wireless apparatus is described comprising: an RF subsystem to support communication over a wireless network according to a specified network protocol; a Host subsystem to execute program code; and an interface to provide communication of control signals between the RF subsystem and the Host subsystem, the control signals allowing the RF subsystem and/or the Host subsystem to enter into a low power state independently of one another.
