1. A method for customizing wireless communication beacons, the method comprising:
customizing, at a first wireless termination point (WTP), one or more Unicast beacons for a first user equipment (UE) station, to reduce wireless communication airtime associated with the one or more Unicast beacons relative to wireless communication airtime associated with one more default beacons transmitted by the first WTP, based at least in part on one or more characteristics of the first UE station;
transmitting the one or more Unicast beacons from the first WTP to the first UE station; and
updating customization of the one or more Unicast beacons in response to failure to receive an acknowledgement data frame from the first UE station.
