Abstract
Generally this disclosure describes methods and systems for conserving energy in a client platform by maintaining connectivity between the client platform and a remote resource when the client is in a low-power state. An example method may include receiving notification that the client platform is transitioning to the low-power state, receiving at least one payload from the client platform, the at least one payload being configured to maintain connectivity with a remote resource while the client platform is in the low-power state, transmitting a packet including the at least one payload and receiving a packet including an acknowledgement.
