In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer program product, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a first node. The first node receives a packet from a second node. The first node determines that the received packet is a query packet, the query packet including information indicating at least a transaction identifier. The first node determines a transaction type based on the information included in the query packet. The first node determines whether to transmit a response packet based on at least one of the transaction type or a transaction identifier at at least one of a PHY layer, a MAC layer, or a link layer. The first node transmits a response packet to the second node in response to determining to transmit the response.
