Abstract:
A wireless communication device having a root complex, a WLAN module, a power module and an interface linking the root complex and the WLAN module, wherein the root complex is configured to implement a power management policy based upon a latency tolerance value for the WLAN module and wherein the power module is configured to adjust the latency tolerance value based upon receive and transmit parameters of the WLAN module. The power module may be configured to adjust the latency tolerance value on a per-frame basis.
