| 20. A wireless terminal for communicating with a base station which supports a reduced synchronization signaling mode of operation
and a full on synchronization mode of operation, the wireless terminal comprising:
a transmitter;
a base station mode determination module for determining if said base station is operating in said reduced synchronization
signaling mode of operation; and
a wakeup signal module, coupled to said base station mode determination module, for controlling said transmitter to transmit
a signal used to trigger the base station to transition into a more active synchronization signaling mode of operation.
