1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a wireless station (STA), a trigger frame, the trigger frame specifying a first length of a trigger-based (TB) packet;
generating, by the STA, the TB packet, wherein a second length of the generated TB packet is less than the first length;
transmitting, by the STA, the generated TB packet with a first gain level during an uplink transmission; and
shutting down the STA in response to completing transmission of the generated TB packet and before an end of the uplink transmission, wherein shutting down the STA comprises reducing a gain of the STA from the first gain level at a slower rate than a rate of a brick wall response.
