If the wi-fi is not actively transferring data and the iPhone is not plugged in, then the Personal Hotspot will disconnect. This is not an error, it is by design. It is also possible that the laptop's wi-fi will disconnect if the laptop goes to sleep as well in power saving mode. That is something you would have to check in the laptop's settings.
