Method and system for transmitting data among peer stations in a decentralized manner with high channel efficiency

A method for operating a first station, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the first station during a paging window, a first frame including a first identifier associated with the first station;
• transmitting, by the first station, beginning a pre-specified short interval duration after receiving the first frame, a second frame acknowledging the first frame;
• receiving, by the first station during the paging window, beginning the pre-specified short interval duration after transmitting the second frame, a third frame including a second identifier associated with the first station and first timing information for a first time period for receiving first data, the first time period beginning a second time period plus the pre-specified short interval duration after the paging window ends, the second time period reserved for transfer of second data to a different station;
• storing, by the first station, the first timing information;
• entering, by the first station, a power save mode after storing the first timing information;
• exiting, by the first station, the power save mode prior to the first time period in accordance with the first timing information;
• and
• receiving, by the first station, the first data during the first time period.
