receiving, from a wireless access point, an indication of a scheduled reference event;
determining, for an application event, an amount of time to generate data for a wireless uplink transmission associated with the application event;
receiving timing information, the timing information indicating an amount of time to divide the generated data into data frames;
determining an adjusted time based on the amount of time to generate the data, the received timing information, and the scheduled reference event;
triggering the application event at the adjusted time; and
transmitting the data frames based on the scheduled reference event, wherein the scheduled reference event comprises a beacon interval for receiving a beacon from the wireless access point, wherein the adjusted time is further determined based on an amount of time for transmitting the data frames to the wireless access point;
receiving the beacon during a next beacon reception time;
transmitting the data frames to the wireless access point, wherein transmission of the data frames is completed adjacent to receiving the beacon; and
entering a low power mode after the transmitting.
