Abstract
Certain embodiments of the present disclosure propose a technique that may be utilized to accelerate the processing of MAC management messages by an MS, allowing the MS to return to a lower power state sooner, thereby conserving power. An indication of whether or not data bursts in a downlink (DL) sub-frame contain MAC management messages may allow the MS to avoid needlessly processing of data bursts and return to a low power state sooner.
