Systems and methods for reducing power consumption

A system comprising:

• at least one memory that store computer-executable instructions;
• and
• at least one processor configured to access the at least one memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:
• transmit, by a first mobile device, a tunneled direct link setup (TDLS) setup request to an access point, the access point in communication with the first mobile device and a second mobile device;
• receive, by the first mobile device, a TDLS response frame from the second mobile device via the access point;
• transmit, by the first mobile device, a TDLS confirmation frame, thereby establishing a TDLS session between the first mobile device and the second mobile device;
• transmit, by the first mobile device, a first power save notification to the access point and a second power save notification to the second mobile device, the first and second power save notifications indicating a change in operation mode of the first mobile device;
• initiate, by the first mobile device, a change in operation mode from an original operation mode to a power save operation mode;
• return, by the first mobile device, to the original operation mode;
• either (i) transmit a trigger from the first mobile device to the access point upon returning to the original operation mode;
• and
• receive, by the first mobile device, buffered data from the access point, the buffered data indicating a current operation mode of the second mobile device, or
• (ii) receive, by the first mobile device, a beacon frame from the access point at a specific beacon interval;
• in response to the beacon frame, transmit, by the first mobile device, a trigger to the access point;
• and
• receive, by the first mobile device, buffered data from the access point, the buffered data indicating a current operation mode of the second mobile device.

A system comprising:

• at least one memory that store computer-executable instructions;
• and
• at least one processor configured to access the at least one memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:
• receive, by a second mobile device, a tunneled direct link setup (TDLS) setup request from a first mobile device via an access point, the access point in communication with the first mobile device and the second mobile device;
• transmit, by the second mobile device, a TDLS response frame to the first mobile device via the access point;
• receive, by the second mobile device from the first mobile device, a TDLS confirmation frame, thereby establishing a TDLS session between the first mobile device and the second mobile device;
• receive, by the second mobile device, a first power save notification from the first mobile device, the first power save notification indicating a change in operation mode of the first mobile device;
• transmit, by the second mobile device, a second power save notification to the access point, the second power save notification indicating a change in operation mode of the second mobile device;
• transmit, by the second mobile device, a third power save notification to the access point intended for the first mobile device, the third power save notification indicating a change in operation mode of the second mobile device;
• initiate, by the second mobile device, a change in operation mode from an original operation mode to a power save operation mode;
• return, by the second mobile device, to the original operation mode;
• either (i) transmit a trigger from the second mobile device to the access point upon returning to the original operation mode;
• based at least in part on the trigger, receive, by the second mobile device, buffered data indicating a current operation mode of the first mobile device, or
• (ii) receive, by the second mobile device, a beacon frame from the access point at a specific beacon interval;
• in response to the beacon frame, transmit, by the second mobile device, a trigger to the access point;
• and
• receive, by the second mobile device, buffered data from the access point, the buffered data indicating a current operation mode of the first mobile device.

A system comprising:

• at least one memory that stores computer-executable instructions;
• and
• at least one processor configured to access the at least one memory, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:
• facilitate a tunneled direct link setup (TDLS) session between a first mobile device and a second mobile device;
• receive a first power save notification from the first mobile device, the first power save notification indicating a change in operation mode of the first mobile device;
• receive a second power save notification from the second mobile device, the second power save notification indicating a change in operation mode of the second mobile device;
• receive a third power save notification from the second mobile device intended for the first mobile device, the third power save notification indicating a change in operation mode of the second mobile device;
• buffer the third power save notification;
• transmit a beacon flame to the first mobile device at a specific beacon interval;
• in response to the beacon frame, receive a trigger from the first mobile device;
• and based at least in part on the trigger, transmit the buffered third power save notification to the first mobile device.
