There is a WG item in v6ops WG which tells the Access Point should unicast RAs to battery-powered Clients rather than multicasting it, because the observation is that it consumes power on the smartphone. That's an observation reflected in more places. The solution space is the following: -

What you mention is for media streaming, and the wifi problem is primarily burst loss. Correcting that is expensive, whether its done at l2 or higher layer. Our signaling protocols can easily be fixed to live with even higher loss at lower cost. Thats why i am suggesting to separate solution
