1. A method comprising:
determining, by a wireless device operating in a first mode, a first value associated with a wireless link between the wireless device and a second wireless device, wherein the first value is an average received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value;
determining, by the wireless device operating in the first mode, a second value associated with the wireless link, wherein the second value is an average received signal quality indicator (RSQI) value, wherein the first value and the second value collectively indicate a category of channel quality for the wireless link;
determining, by the wireless device, that the wireless device can operate in a second mode for subsequent data based on the category of channel quality, wherein, in the second mode, the wireless device consumes less power than in the first mode; and
receiving, by the wireless device operating in the second mode, second data over the wireless link.
