Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communications and, more particularly, to using an external memory for both a wireless wide area network (WWAN) and a wireless local area network (WLAN) for WLAN power savings. An exemplary method includes obtaining messages (e.g., paging messages) via a receiver; reading, during a first wakeup period in which the apparatus is to monitor for messages in a first wireless local area network (WLAN) while the receiver is powered on, state information for the first WLAN from a shared memory also used to store state information for a wireless wide area network (WWAN), and using the state information to configure the apparatus for communicating in the first WLAN.
