Method and apparatus for economizing power consumption in wireless products

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions configured to cause one or more computer systems to perform a method comprising:

• selecting a profile, the profile comprising a first criterion;
• determining that a current power configuration of the wireless device fails to meet the first criterion based upon a plurality of stimuli;
• determining that applying a power configuration adjustment at a particular time is acceptable;
• determining an optimized power configuration for the wireless device, the optimized power configuration indicating a power level suitable for a plurality of stations in communication with the wireless device, the optimized power configuration determined based upon the selected profile;
• and
• adjusting the power configuration based upon the optimized power configuration at the particular time.

A computer system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• at least one memory comprising instructions configured to cause the at least one processor to perform a method comprising:
• selecting a profile, the profile comprising a first criterion;
• determining that a current power configuration of the wireless device fails to meet the first criterion based upon a plurality of stimuli;
• determining that applying a power configuration adjustment at a particular time is acceptable;
• determining an optimized power configuration for the wireless device, the optimized power configuration indicating a power level suitable for a plurality of stations in communication with the wireless device, the optimized power configuration determined based upon the selected profile;
• and
• adjusting the power configuration based upon the optimized power configuration at the particular time.
