Overview This paper proposes the use of radio hierarchies for power-efficient wireless communication, and demonstrates their benefits in the context of wireless device discovery and connection setup. The paper presents several hierarchical connection setup techniques and evaluates them using a prototype multi-radio wireless platform. Experimental results demonstrate that radio hierarchies can significantly reduce power consumption (up to 40x) while supporting "always on" radio connection models. The various issues involved in the design and use of hierarchical radio systems are also discussed.
