1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a power management module to direct the apparatus to transition between two or more operational states, the two or more operational states comprising an awake state and a doze state; and
a transceiver module to send a beacon transmission with an awake window time period to one or more remote devices when the apparatus is in the awake state, and commence in a remotely-initiated peer establishment procedure using peer link open and peer link confirm messages during the awake window time period.

Abstract
Embodiments provide techniques for device power management in wireless networks. For instance, an apparatus may include a power management module, and a transceiver module. The power management module determines a beacon interval and a wakeup interval. The transceiver module to send a transmission to one or more remote devices that includes the beacon interval and the wakeup interval. The beacon interval indicates a time interval between consecutive beacon transmissions of the apparatus, and the wakeup interval indicates a time interval between when the apparatus receives two consecutive beacons from a peer device.

5. A method, comprising:
-
entering an awake state from a doze state; advertising an awake window time period; commencing a remotely initiated peer establishment procedure with peer link open and peer link confirm messages during the awake window time period; and returning to the doze state when the awake window time period has elapsed and the remotely-initiated peer establishment procedure is completed. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
