1. An apparatus for accessing a network through a wireless access point, comprising:
- a processing system configured to;
schedule a sleep state interval;
enter a sleep state at the beginning of the scheduled sleep interval;
buffer data during the sleep state for transmission following the sleep state;
identify data other than the data buffered for transmission; and
determine if the other data is to be transmitted before the end of the scheduled sleep interval.
