Abstract
A method (500, 600) is provided of operating a local transceiver (300), comprising: setting the local transceiver into an operational mode; operating the local transceiver in a polling mode (520); receiving a quiescent begin indicator identifying a beginning of a quiescent mode (520); setting a portion of the local transceiver into a low power consumption mode in response to the quiescent begin indicator (540); measuring an elapsed time since receiving the quiescent begin indicator as a quiescent time (530, 550); and returning the portion of the local transceiver to the operational mode based on a quiescent end indicator 550, 580, 690).
