Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for establishing a communication link between a battery-powered device and a WAP to reduce the power consumption burden of the battery-powered device. In an embodiment, a communication context of the battery-powered device and the WAP is determined, for example, by determining whether there is at least one intermediate device having a wired power source via which the battery-powered device can communicate with the WAP. A communication scheme of a plurality of different communication schemes is selected, for example, by selecting the communication scheme of the plurality of different communication schemes that imposes the lowest power consumption burden on the battery-powered device and is also supported by the communication context. At least one of the battery-powered device or the WAP is configured for communication therebetween using the selected communication scheme.
