Abstract

A device and method are disclosed for reducing the power consumption of a wireless radio device in establishing a wireless connection by predicting a probability of a positive correlation. The wireless radio device may power up a radio receiver of a connectable device to receive a portion of a sync word from a requesting device, determine a correlation value based on the received portion of the sync word and an expected sync word and if the correlation value is less than a threshold value, power down the radio receiver of the connectable device. Additionally, if the correlation value is greater than a threshold value, the entire sync word may be received from the requesting device and a correlation value may be determined based on the entire sync word and the expected sync word.
