1. An apparatus comprising:
a receiver to receive and process radio frequency (RF) signals to obtain downconverted signals;
a digitizer coupled to the receiver to digitize the downconverted signals to digital signals; and
a controller to enable the receiver for a plurality of receive fragments during a listening period, each of the plurality of receive fragments having a duration that is a fractional duration of a wake-up frame, and to cause the receiver to:
enter into a first idle state for a first idle duration between each of the plurality of receive fragments; and
enter into a second idle state for a second idle duration after the listening period, the second idle duration longer than the first idle duration.
