Abstract: Generally this disclosure describes methods and systems for controlling device operation in a processing system. A method may include receiving information comprising at least one packet, identifying the information as associated with a device based on a header in the at least one packet and transmitting a signal to the device, the signal being configured to provide advance notice to the device that the information is being scheduled for transmission to the device. Another method may include receiving a signal configured to provide advance notice of information that will be received, transitioning from a first operational state to a second operational state and receiving the information.

Abstract: Unitary transceiving units employ a multiple carrier, time-division-multiple-access (TDMA), time-division-duplex (TDD protocol to conduct concurrent wireless voice and data communications wherein a first transceiving base station unit tethered to a network interface wirelessly communicates to a second, mobile transceiving unit. The mobile transceiving unit wirelessly transmits and receives packetized voice and data information that is separated and routed to respective voice or data networks. The unitary mobile transceiving unit thus functions as a concurrent voice phone and data communications terminal/computer.
