Abstract
A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. In one aspect, an apparatus is configured to receive information indicating a wake time period from a STA and use the received wake time period to schedule communication with the STA. The apparatus may use the received wake time period to determine a target transmission time for transmitting a trigger frame to the STA. The apparatus may transmit a beacon to the STA and then transmit the trigger frame to the STA at the target transmission time following the beacon. The apparatus may also indicate an offset from the beacon that the apparatus will use for communication with the STA based on the wake time period of the STA.
