Abstract

A method of reducing power consumption of a first wireless communication device is described. A charge level of a battery associated with the first wireless communication device is monitored. A wireless communication session between the first wireless communication device and a second wireless communication device is maintained. Based at least in part on the charge level of the battery being within a low battery threshold range, a wireless signal strength associated with the wireless communication session is monitored. Based at least in part on the wireless signal strength reaching a power saving threshold that is above a minimum connection threshold for maintaining the wireless communication session, a power saving action associated with a wireless interface that supports the wireless communication session is performed.
