Autonomous power saving in a remote unit in a wireless communications system (WCS) is provided. The remote unit can be part of a distributed communications system (DCS) in the WCS, wherein the remote unit communicates downlink and uplink communications signals over a set of radio resources based on a non-cooperative connectivity to a signal source. Herein, the remote unit is configured to opportunistically engage in a power saving mode operation without requiring control signaling and/or a real time trigger from the signal source. More specifically, the remote unit is configured to determine an inactivity period(s) in the set of radio resources that is suited for the power saving mode operation and autonomously enter the power saving mode operation during the determined inactivity period(s). By autonomously engaging in the power saving mode operation, it is possible to reduce power consumption in the remote unit and overall operating expense of the WCS.
