Summary:A method and apparatus are disclosed for reducing power consumption of wireless devices operating in a wireless network. In one embodiment, a first wireless device may establish a BLUETOOTH low energy (BLE) connection and a Wi-Fi connection with a second wireless device. The first wireless device may detect Wi-Fi activity and may operate in a low-power mode when no Wi-Fi activity is detected. The first wireless device may receive a synchronized BLE message and may enter a normal operating mode and leave the low-power mode based, at least in part, on the synchronized BLE message. In another embodiment, the first wireless device may operate a scheduler to schedule communications between the second wireless device and a third wireless device. The first wireless device may suspend operation of the scheduler based, at least in part, on a received synchronized BLE message from the second wireless device.
