A mechanism that enables power sensitive communication devices to utilize the hibernation power saving mechanism offered by existing protocols is provided. In circumstances where there is no data buffered for transmission for a network device, that device can be permitted to hibernate. Alternatively, where there is data buffered for transmission for a network device, that device can be permitted to remain active. A device that receives a traffic indication that contains its identification can be configured to remain in the active mode for as long as traffic indications included in received beacons contain its identification.
