Abstract
Techniques for improved networking are provided. An access point (AP) determines an AP duty cycle based at least in part on transmission activity of a station (STA) associated to the AP. The AP duty cycle is signaled via one or more beacon frames transmitted by the AP. The AP exchanges data in accordance with the AP duty cycle, comprising exchanging data with the STA during one or more active periods indicated by the AP duty cycle, and sleeping during one or more inactive periods indicated by the AP duty cycle.
