Abstract

Systems, methods, and devices schedule network traffic for wireless communications devices. Methods include identifying a plurality of stations included in a first network, and generating, using one or more processors of a first access point, a network traffic schedule configured to assign a plurality of service periods to the plurality of stations, the network traffic schedule identifying a plurality of sleep times and wake times for the plurality of stations. Methods further include transmitting a query frame to at least one station of the plurality of stations during a designated service period, and receiving a data transmission from the at least one station, the data transmission being generated by the station based on transmission parameters included in the query frame.
