Abstract
Various embodiments are disclosed relating to techniques to provide a new or suggested data transmission schedule in a wireless network. According to an example embodiment, an AP may provide a station with a new (or changed) data transmission schedule or a suggested data transmission schedule to relocate the data transmission or contention start times for stations to a more favorable time (e.g., where there may be a lower probability for collisions with other stations).
