  • Patent number: 9980224
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for power management in wireless devices. Power saving for a device of a wireless network may be improved by appropriately setting an inactivity timeout (ITO), and thus the amount of time, after a last transmission or reception of data traffic, that the device remains in an awake mode listening for more data traffic before the device enters a sleep mode. Distributed coordinated function (DCF) information may be used for determining the ITO. For example, the DCF information may be used to determine a channel congestion metric, which may be used to set the ITO for the device.
