Abstract

An implementation provides a transmitter that separates sequential portions of data in a first set of data by time intervals allowing a power saving mode (). The transmitter transmits the sequential portions of data separated by respective time intervals having lengths configured to allow a receiver to enter and exit a power saving mode between receiving sequentially transmitted portions of data from the first set of data (). The transmitter separates sequential portions of data in a second set by time intervals that are not of sufficient length to allow a receiver to enter and exit a power saving mode during the time intervals (). The second set of data is then transmitted ().
