Abstract

A method for controlling, via a terminal, a sleep mode of a first communication module of the terminal. The first communication module is configured to exchange data with a first wireless access network. The terminal includes a second communication module, which is configured to exchange data with a second wireless access network. The second communication module has a maximum data rate that is lower than a maximum data rate of the first communication module. When the first communication module is in sleep mode, the second communication module is configured to listen to a downlink between the second wireless access network and the terminal. When the terminal receives an activation request from the server via the second communication module, the first communication module is activated.
