Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to power savings in a power-sensitive device tethered to another device over a wireless link. For example, a first wireless device may establish a wireless link with a second device such that the first wireless device is tethered to the second device over the wireless link. The first wireless device may determine that a scheduled untethering of the wireless link with the second device is impending and reduce a duty cycle associated with one or more procedures to reestablish the wireless link in response to determining that the wireless link with the second device has been lost. The duty cycle may be reduced for a period that substantially corresponds to an expected duration of the scheduled untethering of the wireless link.
