1. A method comprising:
- transmitting a first message during a first time interval of a frame from a device, wherein the first time interval of the frame is followed by a second time interval of the frame; and
transmitting a second message during the second time interval, wherein transmission of the second message is followed by a third time interval that is shorter than the second time interval, and wherein the third time interval comprises a first contention-free period, a first contention period, or a combination thereof.

Abstract
A method includes transmitting a first message during a first time interval of a frame from a device. Transmission of the first message is followed by a second time interval of the frame. The method further includes transmitting a second message during the second time interval. The second message is followed by a third time interval that is shorter than the second time interval. The third time interval includes a contention-free period, a contention period, or a combination thereof.
