1. An access point (AP), comprising:
one or more memories storing processor-executable code; and
one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and individually or collectively operable to execute the code to cause the AP to:
receive a request frame from a wireless station (STA) associated with the AP and also associated with a client device, the request frame indicating that the STA intends to exchange peer-to-peer (P2P) communications with the client device on a wireless medium;
obtain a transmission opportunity (TXOP) on the wireless medium; and
transmit a trigger frame on the wireless medium, the trigger frame allocating a portion of the obtained TXOP for P2P communications between the STA and the client device, wherein at least one of the trigger frame or a response frame indicates a Network Allocation Vector (NAV) exception for the client device.
