Abstract: A system and method for managing communications between an access point (AP) and a plurality of wireless stations (STAs) over a wireless medium. The AP schedules each of the plurality of STAs to access the wireless medium during a target wake time (TWT) service period. During a first portion of the TWT service period, the AP communicates with a first subset of the plurality of STAs using a first signaling technique. During a second portion of the TWT service period, the AP communicates with a second subset of the plurality of STAs using a second signaling technique. The second subset of the plurality of STAs does not include any STAs from the first subset.
