Abstract: A mobile device with a port map maintaining a list of open ports for incoming data packets is provided. A first processor receives and demodulates inbound signals into data packets. A second processor processes at least one application bound to at least one open port. The second processor enters a sleep mode to reduce power consumption if no data packet is sent from the first processor to the second processor. When the first processor receives an inbound request signal, the first processor demodulates the inbound request signal into a first data packet targeted to a destination port, and looks up the port map to determine whether the destination port is listed in the port map. If the destination port is not listed in the port map, the first processor transmits a response signal to the sender of the inbound request signal or omits the inbound request signal without waking up the second processor.
