Abstract
An access point may transmit, to a first wireless device, a message indicating a busy period of the access point. The busy period is a time during which the access point will perform wireless operations with at least a second wireless device different from the first wireless device. During the busy period, the access point may refrain from transmitting from the access point to the first wireless device. The message indicating the busy period may include a duration of the busy period. The message indicating the busy period may be included in a portion of a data transmission to the first wireless device. The first wireless device may enter a low power mode (e.g., sleep operating state) responsive to the busy period.
