Abstract
A responding device () is configured to transmit messages at transmission opportunity times that occur substantially periodically according to a transmission interval. Configured in this way, the responding device () receives a request message () from a requesting device () in a wireless communication system (). Responsive to the request message (), the responding device () determines to transmit a response message () at a response time that is distinct from any of the transmission opportunity times and that occurs after at least the transmission interval has passed since receiving the request message (). The responding device () in this regard delays transmission of the response message () until the response time, by refraining from transmitting the response message () at one or more transmission opportunity times that occur after receiving the request message () but before the response time. The responding device () then transmits the response message () at the response time.
