A wireless apparatus may receive scheduling definitions from a networking device. The wireless apparatus may determine, from the scheduling definitions, downlink transmission times and to start a timer at one of the determined downlink transmission times. The wireless apparatus may discontinue reception at expiration of the timer. The wireless apparatus may also, in response to reception of a downlink transmission, transmit an acknowledgement and to discontinue reception before the timer has expired.
