APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD OF SETTING AN IDLE TIMEOUT PERIOD FOR A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION LINK

For example, an apparatus may include circuitry and logic configured to cause a wireless communication device to identify an end-to-end network latency of a data stream communicated between the wireless communication device and an endpoint via a wireless communication link between the wireless communication device and an Access Point (AP); and to set an idle timeout period for the wireless communication link based on the end-to-end network latency of the data stream. For example, the idle timeout period includes a time period after which the wireless communication device is to be allowed to switch the wireless communication link from an active mode to a power save mode when the wireless communication link is idle.
