Abstract
A system and method for power saving in a wireless network for transmitting uncompressed audio/video (A/V) data disclosed. The method includes an adaptive sleep period scheme in which the current sleep period is computed based at least partly on one or more previous sleep periods. The method also includes entering an inactive state by a coordinator as well as non-coordinator stations in the wireless network in which no beacons are transmitted.
