Abstract
Techniques for transmitting data include a network device receiving a message, the message comprising data to be transmitted from the network device; storing the message in a buffer of the network device. During an open data session window, the network device: extracts the message from the buffer; and transmits, using a transmitter of the network device, at least data included in the message to a transceiver of the network device. The transceiver is configured to transmit the data outside of the network device. In response to determining that a header of the message includes a last message indicator, the network device: delays for a period of time; and after the period of time, instructs the transceiver to end the data session window early and transition to a lower power state.
