Title:
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR WIRELESS WAKE-ON WIRELESS LAN FOR WIRELESS LAN DEVICES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006058027
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A system and method for wireless waking computing devices over a computer network is provided. A signal is broadcast over the network that includes one or more device specific wake-up data sequences. Each device specific wake-up data sequence includes multiple iterations of the hardware address of the wireless network card associated with that device. While in a reduced power or "sleep mode", the wireless network card monitors wireless channels for packets containing a wake-up data sequence. If a wake-up data sequence is received, the sequence is matched against the hardware address information for that network card. If a match is determined, the network card sends a signal to the computing device causing full system power to be restored. A signal is sent to the network confirming that the device has been successfully woken from the sleep mode.
