Information sharing for handling coex events

An access point (AP) in a wireless network, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to cause:
• establishing an unavailability schedule with a first station (STA), the AP being unavailable to communicate with the first STA based on the unavailability schedule;
• transmitting, to the first STA, a request for information related to the unavailability schedule;
• receiving, from the first STA, a response that provides characteristics of the unavailability schedule based on the request;
• and
• communicating with the first STA during an availability interval that is non-overlapping with the unavailability schedule.
