Adaptive control of RF low power modes in a multi-rate wireless system using MCS value

Methods, systems, and devices are described for power conservation in a wireless communications system. In embodiments, power conservation may be achieved by adaptively controlling power modes of a wireless communication device, using a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) value as a factor for guidance. According to one aspect, the device may be in a reception mode. While in a first power mode, the device may receive control information for incoming data that is being transmitted via a transmission frame. The control information may be located in a first portion of the frame with the data following in a second portion of the frame. The control information may include or otherwise indicate an MCS value corresponding to the MCS applied to the incoming data. Based on the MCS value, the device may be adaptively switched to a second power mode for receiving the incoming data. 描述了无线通信系统中用于功率节省的方法、系统和设备。在各实施例中，可通过使用调制和编码方案(MCS)值作为指导因子自适应地控制无线通信设备的功率模式来达成功率节省。根据个方面，设备可处于接收模式。当处于第功率模式时，设备可接收针对正经由传输帧传送的传入数据的控制信息。控制信息可位于
