Abstract
This document discloses a solution for using a proxy for a service to improve power-efficiency. According to an aspect, a method comprises: offloading, by a wireless device configured to provide a service, at least one function of the service to a proxy apparatus by using a main radio interface of the wireless device; indicating, by the wireless device to the proxy apparatus in connection with said offloading, that the wireless device shall enter a power-save mode where the wireless device disables the main radio interface and enables a wake-up radio interface of the wireless device; receiving, by the wireless device while in the power-save mode, a wake-up frame through the wake-up radio interface and, as a response to the reception of the wake-up frame, enabling the main radio interface; and after enabling the main radio interface, receiving by the wireless device a message from a subscriber device that subscribes to the service.
