Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A station (STA) capable of supporting multiple power modes may monitor traffic on a channel. The STA may, based on the monitoring, detect an ongoing voice call between the STA and an access point (AP). Upon detection of the ongoing voice call, the STA may switch power modes from a power mode that does not support power collapse to a power mode that does support power collapse. The STA may also prompt the AP to send a downlink voice packet, if available. After a downlink transmission opportunity corresponding to the prompt occurs, the STA may enter power collapse. The STA may remain in power collapse until a subsequent uplink transmission opportunity occurs.
