1. A method for conserving power for wireless communications, the method comprising:
- determining packet communication information to and from a wireless device;
selecting a traffic profile from a light traffic profile, a periodic traffic profile, and a heavy traffic profile in response to the determined packet communication information; and
communicating packets with a wireless access point utilizing a power mode determined in response to the selected traffic profile, wherein the power mode is utilized by the wireless device independent of the wireless access point.

Abstract
A system and method for conserving power for wireless communications. Packet communication information to and from a wireless device is determined. A traffic profile is selected from a light traffic profile, a periodic traffic profile, and a heavy traffic profile in response to the determined packet communication information. Packets are communicated with a wireless access point utilizing a power mode determined in response to the selected traffic profile. The power mode is utilised by the wireless device independent of the wireless access point.

17. A wireless device for conserving power, the wireless device comprising:
-
a processor operable to execute a set of instructions; a memory in communication with the processor, the memory operable to store a set of instructions, wherein the set of instructions are executed to; determine packet communication information for communicating packets; select a traffic profile of a wireless device in response to the determined packet communication information; utilize a default sleep interval between communicating packets in response to determining that an average interval within the packet communication information is equal to or greater than a first threshold; utilize a reduced sleep interval between communicating packets in response to determining that the average interval is less than a first threshold and greater than a second threshold; and utilize a full power mode in response to determining the average interval is less than or equal to the second threshold. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
