Method and apparatus for providing peer-to-peer communication with network connection

A station (STA) comprising:

• first and second transceivers configured in in accordance with IEEE 802.11ad and IEEE 802.11ac, respectively;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• negotiate with a first to establish one or more scheduled access periods of a transmission time interval during which the STA has access to a first channel using the first transceiver;
• establish a wakeup schedule for power save mode (PSM), wherein at least one wake time of the wake schedule aligns to at least one of the one or more scheduled access periods;
• communicating with the second STA direct link using the second transceiver, wherein the direct link is on a second channel;
• cause the STA to enter the PSM;
• and
• communicate with the first STA or continue the communication with the second STA on a first channel during the at least one scheduled access period aligned to the at least one wake time of the wake schedule.
