26. A first apparatus for wireless communication, the first apparatus comprising:
memory;
a plurality of radios; and
one or more processors configured to:
while operating according to a first mode, use at least a first radio of the plurality of radios of the first apparatus to communicate with a second apparatus to determine: (1) information setting or affecting at least a time period for, a timing of, or a duration of at least one DL communication comprising a first DL communication; (2) a plural number of links to establish communication between a plural number of radios of the first apparatus and a plural number of radios of the second apparatus, wherein at least the plural number of links to establish for communication between the plural number of radios of the first apparatus and the plural number of radios of the second apparatus is negotiated using wireless communication between the first apparatus and the second apparatus; and (3) a first frequency for use by the first radio of the plurality of radios of the first apparatus and a first radio of a plurality of radios of the second apparatus, and a second frequency for use by a second radio of the plurality of radios of the first apparatus and a second radio of the plurality of radios of the second apparatus, wherein the first frequency is different from the second frequency;
initiate a change to operate according to a second mode different from the first mode, the second power mode at least in part using less power relative to the first mode;
after initiating the change to operate according the second mode, (1) initiate an awaken procedure to wake up one or more radios of the plurality of radios of the first apparatus such that the first apparatus transitions from the second mode to a third mode, the third mode using more power relative to the second mode, and (2) complete the awaken procedure on or before a time associated with the interval information determined from communication between the first apparatus and the second apparatus such that the first apparatus is in the third mode on or before a time that the first DL communication is received by at least one radio of the plurality of radios of the first apparatus; and
use the first radio of the plurality of radios of the first apparatus to receive a second DL communication from the first radio of the plurality of radios of the second apparatus, and use the second radio of the plurality of radios of the first apparatus to receive a third DL communication from the second radio of the plurality of radios of the second apparatus, wherein a tail portion of the second DL communication is communicated concurrently with a tail portion of the third DL communication, and wherein the second DL communication and at least the third DL communication are received in accordance with information affecting an end time or an end timing of a plurality of DL communications.
