Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for facilitating coordination among member stations in an IBSS to allow members to remain in a power save mode of operation for extended periods of time without awakening to transmit or receive beacons at each scheduled TBTT. A power save initiator may establish a power save period during which all nodes in the network may enter a power save mode. Correspondingly, beacons may not be sent during the extended power save period and any traffic to be exchanged between members of the IBSS WLAN may be buffered for delivery after the extended power save period ends.
