Abstract
A mobile communication device includes a processor; a data acquisition device for acquiring data and providing it to the processor; a transceiver for transmitting at least some of the acquired data to an external device; and a low-power clock. The low-power clock counts down a random delay time period and temporarily shifts the processor and the transceiver from low-power sleep modes to active wake modes so that the processor and transceiver can transmit at least some of the acquired data to the external device while in their active wake modes.
