Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for facilitating coordination among member stations in an IBSS to allow members to remain in a power save mode of operation for extended periods of time without awakening to transmit or receive beacons at each scheduled TBTT. A power save initiator may establish a power save period during which all nodes in the network may enter a power save mode. Correspondingly, beacons may not be sent during the extended power save period and any traffic to be exchanged between members of the IBSS WLAN may be buffered for delivery after the extended power save period ends.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and methods for implementing power save modes of operation while maintaining a WLAN communications link. The techniques of the invention involve coordinating power save mode periods between the participating devices by through the use of a Peer Power Save Information Element (PPS IE) included in the beacon frame transmitted by one of the devices. The PPS IE may include an Enabled/disabled bit, a PPS Count value and a PPS Duration. The PPS Count may be decremented from an initial value after each beacon transmission until the count reaches zero, at which point the device may be configured to enter power save mode for the period indicated by the PPS Duration. During power save mode, the device may track the duration and awaken after the corresponding period of time to begin transmitting and receiving beacons again.
