1. An electronic device comprising:
a transceiver configured to:
communicatively couple to a second electronic device via an IEEE Standard 802.15.4 wireless network;
receive first capability data from the second electronic device; and
transmit second capability data to the second electronic device; and
processing circuitry configured to:
perform a clear channel assessment (CCA) having a first duration;
set a turnaround time to a second duration that is less than or equal to the first duration based upon the first capability data being indicative of the second electronic device being capable of operating using a second turnaround time that has a third duration that is less than or equal to the first duration; and
switch the transceiver from a receive mode of operation to a transmit mode of operation during the turnaround time having the second duration.
