Abstract
A wireless device operates as a wireless station (STA) associated with a first access point (AP) of one basic service set (BSS) in a first set of intervals, and as a second AP of another BSS in a second set of intervals. The wireless device, operating as a STA receives, in a first interval of the first set of intervals, indication that data is buffered in the first AP for the STA. The wireless device, operating as a STA issues, in a second interval of the first set of intervals, a request to the first AP for at least some portion of the buffered data. The second interval is later than the first interval and separated from the first interval by a third interval, the wireless device operating as the second AP in the third interval. Due to such operation, efficiencies such as reduced data loss can be obtained.
