1. A method of reducing power consumption of a first wireless communication device, the method comprising:
monitoring a battery charge level of a battery associated with the first wireless communication device during an active wireless communication session between the first wireless communication device and a second wireless communication device;
determining whether the battery charge level of the battery associated with the first wireless communication device is within a first low battery threshold range of a first threshold pair of a plurality of threshold pairs, and each of the plurality of threshold pairs corresponds to a different power saving action;
maintaining the active wireless communication session after determining the battery charge level being within the first low battery threshold range; and
performing a power saving action associated with a wireless interface that supports the active wireless communication session while maintaining the active wireless communication session.
