Systems and methods for beacon alignment for soft access point

A first device comprising:

• a wireless interface;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the wireless interface, the one or more processors configured to:
• determine a first time interval to receive a first beacon frame from a second device to facilitate communication between the first device and the second device;
• determine, according to the first time interval, a second time interval for the first device to transmit a second beacon frame to a third device, the second beacon frame to facilitate communication between the second device and the third device;
• and
• determine a third time interval to operate the first device in a wake up mode, the third time interval encompassing the first time interval and the second time interval.

A non-transitory computer readable medium of a first device storing instructions, that when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• determine a first time interval to receive a first beacon frame from a second device to facilitate communication between the first device and the second device;
• determine, according to the first time interval, a second time interval for the first device to transmit a second beacon frame to a third device, the second beacon frame to facilitate communication between the second device and the third device;
• and
• determine a third time interval to operate the first device in a wake up mode, the third time interval encompassing the first time interval and the second time interval.
