In embodiments of the present disclosure, there is provided an approach for power saving in a mesh network. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a mesh portal transmits, to a mesh point in a sleep mode, a packet for waking up the mesh point during a predetermined time period. The mesh point in the sleep mode detects the packet during the predetermined time period. In accordance with a determination that the mesh point is waked up, the mesh portal establishes a mesh link with the mesh point. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an effective way for power saving in a mesh network.
