Abstract
A wireless communication apparatus is adapted for communication between a host and a communication device. The wireless communication apparatus includes a host transmission interface adapted to be coupled to the host, a host transmission interface controller coupled to the host transmission interface, a wireless transmission interface adapted for communicating with the communication device so as to receive packet data therefrom, a wireless transmission interface controller coupled to the wireless transmission interface, and a processor coupled between the host transmission interface controller and the wireless transmission interface controller. The processor is operable to control a power state of the host transmission interface controller to enter a power consuming mode selected in accordance with a traffic volume.
