Abstract：This paper focuses on a new power  saving strategy for screen-off Wi-Fi communications. The key problem is how to coordinate client without incurring extra traffic overheads. To handle the problem, we propose a novel paradigm, Out-of-Band 
Communication (OBC), for client-to-client direct communications. OBC exploits the TIM (Traffic Indication Map) field of Wi-Fi Beacons to build free side-channel between clients. It is based upon the observation that a client may control 1-->0 appearing on TIM bit by locally regulating packet receiving operations. We adopt this 1-->0 as the basic signal, and leverage the time length in between two signals to encode information. We demonstrate that OBC can be used to convey coordination information with close to 100% accuracy.
