Infrastructure and ad-hoc node device

摘要

An infrastructure and ad-hoc node device is described. In embodiments, a node device includes an ad-hoc interface for data communications via an ad-hoc network that includes peer devices of a first basic service set (BSS). The node device also includes an infrastructure interface for additional data communications via an infrastructure network of nodes that communicate via an access point of a second basic service set. A power save service can optimize a power save mode of the node device by minimizing a device communication mode during which the data communications and the additional data communications are received over a shared communication channel, or are received over different communication channels.
