Methods, systems, and devices are described for peer-to-peer (P2P) group owner (GO) multi-channel concurrent (MCC) operation and an associated absence period indication for legacy client devices. In some aspects, an absence period during which a peer-to-peer (P2P) group owner (GO) is unavailable to receive transmissions from client devices wirelessly coupled with the P2P GO may be identified. A notice of absence (NoA) may be transmitted by the P2P GO, the P2P NoA indicating the absence period if the client devices wirelessly coupled with the P2P GO include a P2P client device that supports a P2P protocol. A legacy wireless beacon may be transmitted by the P2P GO, the legacy wireless beacon comprising an information element (IE) indicating the absence period if the client devices wirelessly coupled with the P2P GO include a legacy client device that does not support the P2P protocol.

Methods, systems, and devices are described for using low energy (LE) signaling to indicate to a wireless station (STA), prior to transmission of a beacon, whether the beacon will further indicate that an access point (AP) has data to transmit to the STA. In one aspect, a method may include receiving, using a first radio of a wireless STA using a LE communication protocol, a first signal comprising an indication of a traffic indication map (TIM) of a wireless local area network (WLAN) beacon, and selectively powering up a second radio of the wireless STA to receive the WLAN beacon in response to the indication. In one aspect, the wireless STA may power up the first radio at a predetermined interval prior to a target beacon transmission time (TBTT) of the WLAN beacon.
