Abstract
Aspects in a method and system for no buffered traffic indication for wireless local area network (WLAN) power save may enable a peer communication device to determine a time duration for remaining in an active operating state based on communication with other peer communication devices. In one aspect, a given peer communication device may determine that it has no data to communicate to any of the remaining peer communication devices. The given communication device may communicate to each of the peer communication devices that there is no data to transmit to the peer communication device. Each of the peer communication devices may communicate that there is no data to transmit to the given peer communication device. Based on the communications, the given peer communication device may exit the active operating state and enter a low power operating state.
