Abstract
A first network device including first and second transceiver modules. The first transceiver module: during a first downlink period, transmits an uplink indication (UI) signal; and during an uplink period and subsequent to transmitting the UI signal, transmits a first data signal. The UI signal indicates when the first data signal is transmitted. The second transceiver module, prior to transmission of the UI signal, transmits a notice signal that indicates to a second network device not to transmit data to the second transceiver module during a second downlink period. The second downlink period is subsequent to an unused portion of the uplink period. The second transceiver module: transitions to a power save mode prior to transmission of the first data signal; and transmits a second data signal from the first network device based on the UI signal, subsequent to transmission of the first data signal, and during the unused portion.
