1. A wireless local area network (WLAN) device, comprising:
an access point (AP) or a non-access point (non-AP) station (STA) configured to:
negotiate Target Wake Time (TWT) service period (SP) and/or Availability Window (AW) parameters for performing periodic environmental sensing measurements based on characteristics of WLAN compliant wireless signals transmitted between the WLAN device and another WLAN device; and
implement the negotiated parameters when performing the periodic environmental sensing measurements;
negotiate parameters of a first function scheduling agreement and parameters of a second function scheduling agreement; and
implement the negotiated parameters of the first function scheduling agreement and the negotiated parameters of the second function scheduling agreement concurrently.
